If the pun confuses you, look up 'Rockin Around the Christmas Tree'!

Another great turnout tonight and we welcomed 2 new lovely runners in Rachel and Susan. Apologies if I forgot to mention there would be a fitness session later on, I hope it didn't come as too much of a surprise hehe.

Also great to see some returning faces :-)

Thanks to Katy for being back runner this week.

On the cards tonight was a visit to Hayden Court, which is a Sheltered Housing Scheme for the elderly. There were several jobs to do including, cleaning a residents cooking hood, sweeping out the garage, cleaning the fire exit stair well, cleaning the skirting boards and the toilets.

It was a bit of a maze to start with, I'm just glad we didn't lose anyone.

At one point I thought we were going to make more of a mess than we started with as Graham's bucket had a hole in it... which we didn't notice until AFTER we got to the top of the stairs haha.

Once we finished we went outside for a group photo... can you notice the 2 masks though???

On the way back we stopped for some push-ups and mountain climbers... as you do. Somehow we ended up in Chapelfield Gardens so we were obliged to do a little sprint effort plus a mini circuit.

We did a little duck walk across the pedestrian crossing going back to The Forum, not sure what the people in the car were thinking as they let us cross!

Then it was time to try Calum's homemade chocolate orange brownies... OMG they were good and so moist - sorry Catherine!

10 of us went for a little social down the pub afterwards so all in all a very splendid evening.

Next week we are planting hanging baskets at The Great Hospital.
