A super exciting night as we welcomed a Goodgym newbie to the family!! Welcome Steve, it was so great to have you last night and as you may have gathered, we were all super excited to have some new blood (not that we’re vampires or anything!!). It really was lovely to welcome you, even though it wasn’t the nicest of evening’s weather wise (you didn’t let that put you off coming though!!). We hope you enjoyed your evening as much as we enjoyed having you… and we hope you’ll come back and join us another week (next week hopefully… but no pressure, lol!).

Last night, Claire, Emily, Kat, Maurice, Rob, Steve and Nicola were back with Motherwell to help them spruce up their garden and outside frontage in preparation for the forthcoming jubilee celebrations. Although June is a way off, it never hurts to get a head start.

We started our evening with our exercise…. we split into two groups – runners & walkers. Emily, Steve and Nicola did a 3K run, taking in a lap of the park, while Claire & Maurice had a nice brisk walk before re-joining us at Motherwell

We split into 3 groups. Emily & Steve took the sweeping up of the moss at the front of the building. Claire, Maurice & Rob started potting some plants, with Rob on the hunt for bricks and rubble to make a base in the bottom of the pots. Nicola & Kat did some weeding in the beds at the back of the building. Once again, Kat had to save the day by racing home to get a brush and trowel. The trowel was no ordinary trowel though, it was *Noah’s M&S trowel. His toy trowel that we had to borrow so we could get the weeds out!! Big thank you Noah (even though I don’t think you actually know we even borrowed it!!!).

The weather was drizzly all night but it didn’t dampen our spirits and everywhere was looking much tidier by the time we’d finished. I’m sure we’ll be back before June though to work some more magic (hopefully in better weather!).

And last but by no means least, a huge GOOD LUCK to Claire who is running Manchester Marathon on Sunday. We hope you have a great run Claire. We know you’ll smash it!

Well done everyone. Another great evening’s work as always – you’re the BEST!

Loved being with you as always Nicola xxx
