What a wonderful night, it was our quietest run for a while, the weather hasn't been kind and lots of people were busy, but 4 little Goodgymers still made a big impact tonight.
Its been a while since we visited St Lesmo, a residential home in Edgeley, in the past we have cleared leaves, painted rails and washed windows, tonight we were on more a fun mission! we arranged a games night, and what a night!
It was a great turn out, lots of residents waiting for us, we set up tables and on each table we had a different game set up, we played Pick up sticks, Snap, Jenga, Dominoes, Snakes and Ladders, Tiddlywinks and did i mention SNAP? (my favourite card game ever, I thought I was the master, turns out Anders is.....)
It really was a wonderful night, the atmosphere was wonderful, everyone enjoyed themselves, some of us, as in me, were sore losers! BUT we will 100% be back to play more games.
Thank you guys for running in the horrific weather, also thank you Racheal for the chocoltaes and a MASSIVE WELL DONE for you 50 good deeds, the next social will be in your honour!
Also well done to both Hanna and Simone for running the hillest parkrun on sat over in the lakes, sound like you had a wonderful adventure.
A truly magical evening, making great connections and making a room full of people happy,
Have a great week running folks,
