Report written by Pritesh Mistry

Share the love

Ooh i do love a good 'GG on Tour' night and this month we were hosted by the delightful GoodGym-ers from Southwark.

I've been failing a bit miserably with drinks reports of late so welcome to the new slimmed down version of the report - it's a lot more do it yourself - and hopefully i will get these reports out regularly now!

So here's what you missed, didn't hear or just want to recap on:

Heroes:

You can access all the info here until 31st July and here's the info from Southwark too

  • Congratulations to GG Hackney who had the most new runners last month with 21!

  • NEW FEATURE Congratulations to GG Wandsworth who had the most total attendances last month with 178!

  • Finally there were 16 new black tshirt wearers (50 good deeds) and Issy Sloman and Tom Hunter earnt their wings (100 good deeds) - well done all of you!

News

  • We had our biggest ever event with 176 runners to launch Volunteer's Week 2017 - read the report here

  • We had the incredible GoodGym Olympics (thanks Tom Benson) - 21 areas involved, 18 events, two flag parades, a bake-off... and SO much more! Congratulations to GG Camden the overall winners and to GG Lewisham the flag parade winners!

  • GoodGym Norwich and Brighton have launched and Barnsley is coming in August - do let friends, family...anyone you know!

Boring Bit

  • Hit up the missions please - we have loads, it's a great way to meet other runners, you don't have to run there and it can be a nice stepping stone to coach running too! Check out the new missions selector here.

  • TaskForce - I keep going on about it but this is your chance to have your say in the way GG is run and to be a real influence in your own areas. Ask me or your trainer about joining or setting up a TaskForce in your area!

and last but not least...the International Pun of the Month:

"Cutting Hedge Technology" from a mission in Southwark!

So thank you to GG Southwark , thank you to all that came - it was a wonderful night where we learnt that I'm pretty handy in a wheelchair (Massive shouts to Chris (and Hanna who brought him) for getting to drinks despite recently breaking his leg!), Southwark re-invented the guest speech and that a cocktail happy hour will wreak havoc on 'the' speech!

Next month will be in Central London - please hold the 3rd and 10th of August - and the details will be up as soon as I have details confirmed!

That's all from me but get in touch with questions, suggestions and anything else! (pritesh@goodgym.org/07887802793/@pritski)

p.s. Please do follow me on twitter if you can for many many GG related updates and also join the 'Unofficial' Facebook Group here (remember to state your area) for more info on races, training runs, socials and other news from the GG community.
