33 Goodgymers ran 6km and helped Scope Charity Shop with lots of GOOD

Awww wow is this just the coolest thing ever (read in American accent). The much beloved Imogen is leaving for LA so it was her last GG - party time!

Welcome along to newbies Abigail and Alex - lovely to have you along!

In the news this week:

  1. Get signed up for the GG Olympics now! It's going to be an incredible day of events on 30th June - deadline for sign up on Sunday 3rd June.
  2. Good luck to those doing the Lake District races this weekend!
  3. On August bank holiday Frances and Lucy are leading us to Dorest for some trail racing - all the distances available at East Farm - information here.

After a dynamic warm up including a NEW SKIP we headed over to Scope Charity Shop on Camden High Street. This amazing shop managed by the very organised Helen, helps fund work so disabled people have the same opportunities as everyone else.

Everyone lined up for their designated jobs and got going:

  • Katherine polished all the shoe shelves and sorted all the shoes - she was having the best time
  • Abi cleaned windows and surfaces in the middle room
  • Alyson cleaned the skirting boards all over the shop - lots of hard work!
  • Thomas measured trousers and labelled trousers
  • Aidan cleaned the display boxes - everything looking shiny!
  • Chris and Frances dressed the stores mannequins with the shops finest wear
  • Three groups of three played the price is right with shoes, jewellery and ties - estimating the sell price and labelling them up
  • 10 people sorted, hung, labelled and steamed clothes to be put on shop floor
  • Steve - did up zips and buttons, cleaned the stairs & the toilet!
  • Melanie and Liz cleaned the kitchen thoroughly

After 30 mins of hard work helping this fantastic charity shop we headed to Regents Park for a fitness session of x3 90 seconds with a progressive speed for the last 30 seconds. Everyone did really well - nice!

We'll miss you!

Once we got back to base we of course headed to the pub for Imogen's Leaving Party which included some amazing Mr & Mrs Camden t-shirts, vegan cake & more!

Sign up for next week here when we will be helping Antrim Allotments.

PB out.
