Report written by Tom Mutton
On our last group run of the January challenge we had another great turnout for the last push in the month.
This week we were back off to help CADS at the Abbeydale Picture House with the continued rennovations of this magestic beast!
This week we split into 3 teams to tackle the challenges:
*1. TEAM POLES & PLANKS - *
Lifting and shifting scaffold poles and plank from the bottom floor up to the balcony.
*2. TEAM PAINT - *
Finishing off the painting that will soon be Olivia's massage room.
*3. TEAM SKIP PREP - *
Taking up bits of carpet and odds & sods from the balcony down to the car park ready to be skipped
After a good session on each task, making progress on all it was time for something completely different fitness wise. Taking advantage of the inside, dry long space we were in we had a team plank challenge where we all planked and one at a time 'hands & knees'd' it to the end of the line until we got back to the start. Some great team effort from all and a good bit of ab work all round!
Following thanks from CADS we headed out into the mild Jan air and headed back to base with some added bits along the way including:
*** Agility side to side sprints * Sprint & return's * Lunge & Jump's**
On return to base we stretched off and reviewed the latest league tables in the Jan challenge and gave congrats to our new 50 heroes and those that are nearly there too.
It's going to be a close call for deeds for second between us and Cardiff so if anyone can make the** Barnsley run on Tues** please do and keep getting those KM's in as we are well up there and could possibly snatch it!
Thanks for everyones hard work during the Jan challenge, we've managed to together do a whole load of good and ran a massive way collectively as well. Here's to an even better Feb!
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.
