Report written by Jen Stoneham
Well done Team GG for a commendable extended task this evening. I think we covered nearly all modes of transport to get to the task this evening - Val and Judy braved the train and shuttle bus, Abby took a voyage on the ferry and myself and Dave rocked up on our bikes!
We donned our Hi-Vis vests and lanyards and headed to our respective marshal points. I hope the power of the walkie-talkie and clipboard combo didn't go to Katie's head as much as it did mine!
We also learned a new timing system when Dave announced it was "quarter to doors" which just got funnier the more he said it! (You probably had to be there!)
We had encounters with cute dogs, grumpy Park and Ride passengers, hooligan youths and even some paramedics after a runner was hit by a car just down from our marshal point.
Superb efforts this evening, GoodGymers, HIVE Portsmouth and I am sure the MOD are very grateful for your time.
HIVE Portsmouth is a strategic partnership in Portsmouth consisting of a representative group of the voluntary and community sector, NHS Portsmouth Clinical Commissioning Group and Portsmouth City Council.

Quarter to doors was a great saying. And after having to use my first aid knowledge for the second time this week. That’s 2 more times than I’ve ever had to use it since being trained 😂
