EIGHTEEN EXCELLENT @GGSHEFF RUNNERS RAN 5KM TO HELP CADS BRING THE ABBEYDALE PICTURE HOUSE BACK INTO USE
BALLS
This weeks group photo featured balls, lots of balls. Using some interesting poses the@GGSHEFF CREW took a few group shots on the Hallam Hubs Balls before setting off to our destination with Sensational Steve as our trusty back marker.
TASK TIME
We were met at the venue by another Steve (no less sensational) and Brilliant Brian who briefed us on the tasks for the night and tooled us up with the neccessary PPE (Personal Protective Equipment ;)). Before heading out to our tasks we got some fantastic team photos, consisting of:
- Team Weed
- Team Paint
- Team Scrape
- Team Lift & Shift
EXERCISE TIME!
After some fantastic work from all teams the airhorn sounded and following a quick drink we headed to center stage for the fitness session of the evening which included:
- Sprints
- Burpees
- Squat 180's
- Inch Worms
- Star Jumps
- Burpees
- Mountain Climbers
After a heartfelt thanks from Steve we ran back via an alt route and even threw in some paired sprints on the way back along with some static squats and wall sits.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
After a new format group stretch session we lay on the Gorgeous Grass to hear all the upcoming @GGSHEFF news inc races, Grunch, Missions etc and finished with a tantalysingly tuneful rendition of Happy Birthday for Birthday Girl Charlotte who was 21 on the day (again). We were honoured you hose to spend it with us Charlotte.
Next week we are off to Regather so don't delay, sign up today!

One of the most Beautiful buildings in Sheffield.
The Abbeydale Picture Palace was opened by the Lord Mayor William Farewell Wardley on December 20th 1920, with the silent film The Call of the Road. Designed by the architects Dixon & Stienlet of North Shields and Newcastle-on-Tyne to work as a theatre as well as a cinema, it has a generous stage with a fly tower, the UK’s only remaining “iron” safety curtain, intact and in situ, with original 1950s period advertisements. The original classical proscenium was hidden by the existing plain arch when Cinemascope was installed in the 1950s, but otherwise the auditorium remains intact and the building is listed Grade II. Soon after closing its doors on the 5th July 1975, the building was taken over by Messrs A & F Drake as an office-equipment showroom. They traded until the early 1990s, and after some years of neglect the building was taken over by the Friends of the Abbeydale Picture House as a rehearsal and performance space for amateur theatre groups. When the Friends of the Abbeydale project came to an end in 2012, the building was bought at auction by Phil Robins. Since July 2015 it has been managed by Hand Of, a Sheffield based arts platform who organise a diverse range of cultural events.
