Report written by Carol Anne Mclachlan
Tonight definitely started with some ‘Belter’ news... Charlotte completed her first coach run, Evan took part in a 24 hour cycle event and still came even though he was a bit of a Sloth! We also welcomed 4 new runners tonight, so huge shout out to Cathy, Hannah, Giselle and Rhys and well done in your first group run! We also enjoyed the company of GG Barnsley's trainer Grace tonight which was lovely to hear what other areas are up too!
25 amazing runners headed to Newcastle Cricket Club for a massive kitchen and function room clean. 16 headed to the kitchen not even ‘Batting’ an eye at the challenge in front them, armed with kitchen cleaners, gloves and cloths the guys got to work washing dishes, pots, cutlery and the dreaded range cooker and oven where Nick did his best Highway man impression. Cupboards were emptied washed down and stocked back up, fridges cleaned, floors washed! Awesome team work from all!
8 made a huge difference in the function room, carpets hoovered, Louise and Dave did an awesome job of washing and re-stacking the many tables, dado rails cleaned, windows washed, Tom got busy stacking the chairs neatly and ooh... we even had a hoover showdown from Dan and Rachel... vacuums at 10 paces.
Katy did an amazing job with our fitness session which we thankfully held in doors (even mostly managing to stay of the lovely clean, newly washed floors), all loving the squats, tricep dips, planking and forward lunges, some would say it just wasn’t ‘Cricket’!
Massive well done to Charlotte for organising tonight’s epic task and a great effort by everyone tonight ‘All Out’ in 40 minutes...
