Painting the town (church hall) ........blue..ish
13 GoodGymers made their way 5.9km to help the St John's Church Hall in Chelmsford.

On a lovely sunny July evening 13 goodgymers met at our base at ARU ready to do to some good around Chelmsford.
Tonight’s task was to spruce up the kitchen at the St Johns church hall.
After a catch-up chat and a quick head count, we set off down the high street with Adam leading the way. I had promised that we would be met by a special guest to open the hall for us and there were many guesses with my favourite being George Michael by Catherine. It was in fact Richard E who had been running with the whole time. Muhahaha
We soon got to work first sanding then wiping down the walls before giving them a good lick of paint. Within no time the majority of the kitchen had been given a good coat and it was time to wash up and head back.
Taking a slightly longer route back so we could enjoy Oaklands park we made our way back to ARU and stretched off chatting and enjoying the evening the whole time.
Next weeks task will be doing some litter picking with Gerry at Marconi ponds by central park.
Good luck to James G on doing his first triathlon this Saturday.
And finally, THANK YOU all for coming tonight. That job would have taken 1 person the best part of a day to complete and by coming they can now look to do other worthwhile things. So, on behalf of St Johns church, THANK YOU AGAIN.
And on that note,
Run Happy
Rich
