• Firstly it was great having Anne back at goodgym after her recent visit back home to France 🇫🇷

• Also a big Happy Birthday shout to Nadia who wanted to spend her birthday evening digging up soil and pulling weeds in the wet 🎉

After recent beautiful sunny goodgym evenings today was the opposite. Wayne, Nadia, Anne, & Julie met at the WWF along the canal and ran the 2.5k through the woods along Horsell common. Kirsty & Lauren met us at the All Saints Parish Church.

When we arrived at the church we walked in to Adrain (who looks after the church) giving the girls a tour around this beautiful church. He was telling a story about how they got a certain stain glass window, must say the window and the story behind it was amazing. After the tour we got stuck into the 3 tasks. We split up into 3 teams of 2. Kirsty & Lauren were tasked with giving the walls in the community hall a good wash down while there was a dance class going on 💃. Anne & Julie has an outside task they had to remove all the weeds and brambles 🌱at one side of the grounds. Nadia & Wayne also had an outside task they had to dig up an area to make it level for a future car park space. Adrian had provided us with all the tools to carry out the tasks. The digging up task looked tough but in no time the area looked level much better than what it was. 😀. The other two groups were also getting stuck in. Half way through the task Adrian had taken out hot beverage orders. We all headed inside where we had arranged a little birthday surprise for Nadia 🍰🎉. After singing happy birthday in English & in French 😀 and the candle being blown out we sat down for a chat and a cuppa. Adrian was telling us about the church and its congregation. Once tea and cake were finished we headed back outside to finish off cleaning the walls and removing a few more weeds. it was getting dark just as we finished. We cleared away the tools said goodbye to Adrian and headed home.

We will be back to the church soon to finish off.

Next Wednesday we may have a training session lined up. Keep a look out. 🏃🏾‍♂️💨

have a great evening.
