Getting very Autumnal now for our Goodgym tasks but this didn't deter 13 runners turning up tonight .Dave warmed the runners up before leading them for a 3km run. Mel met the runners by the canal path ready with litter pickers and bin bags. The group split into two smaller groups , group one headed off along the canal path and the other group tackled the litter on Bede Park. - Jen leading the former and Nicola the latter.

It was great to see our newest members Sharon and Irene back for more

After 30 mins the groups met up with 10 heavy bags of litter.Stus bag was the heaviest with bottles, and cans in abundance. By this time the light was fading but this did not stop the enthusiastic group having a great workout on the outdoor equipment. Refreshments were well received and the cool down and stretch completed.The group had a jog back to base and were bid a farewell until next week.
