7 Hearty GoodGymers braved the cold and set out into the night to pick up some litter behind the B&M car park.

Myself, Richard, Jane and Russell met at the old factory gym and discussed how we are hibernating a bit too much this winter and that we should maybe do a bit more. Richard spoke about his new job coming up and we celebrated him reaching his 50th Good Deed on Sunday while volunteering for Farleigh Hospice Santa Run. Congratulations Richard clap clap clap.

Collecting the litter pickers and bags from the gym we set off to meet Fay, Sallyann and Jess at the car park to bolster our litter picking group. with lots of chatting going on we filled 5 bags in no time and decided it was time to get back and warm up. After posing for a group photo we discussed this weekends coming events and who was taking (and not taking) part in them...

We bid goodbye to Fay and Sallyann who walked in. And to Jess and Jane who ran back to their respective homes. Richard, Russell and I jogged back through the city centre to the gym to put the pickers back.

Thanks for coming guys, you've made a little bit of Chelmsford that little bit nicer.

Next week Angela will be leading a leafleting run on Wednesday and then David will be leading a leaf clearing the week after. And then that will be it before we break for Christmas.

In January we will be doing our annual GoodGym January Challenge so if you can, we'll need every one of you to help us reach our targets.

Don't forget "If you move, log it on strava" and make sure you join GoodGym Chelmsford strava group. and do at least one good deed.. 😉

until then...

Run Happy

Rich
