Our sunny Sunday started with 6 of us at Great Run Local at Lakeside North Harbour. We welcomed Richard from GoodGym Bristol. Tony chased down the small child at the front of the 2km, I ran-marshaled the 2km to make sure the youngsters and staff from Enableability got round OK and Charlotte, Richard, Maura and Judy all completed 2 laps of the lake for a 5km.

From there we headed round to Hilsea Lido where we met up with a few more of the GoodGym team. Along with the gang from Enableability, our task was to sand and paint the picnic benches in lovely bright colours. Some of which we wore home on our clothes. Judy (I think) won the GG prize for most covered in paint by the end. Closely followed by Tony who proudly announced he hardly got any on him whilst everyone else pointed out where it was on his clothes.

Louisa had to miss out on the post task cuppa as she was heading off to work but the rest of us helped support the local business by sampling various hot drinks and cakes!

A great task as always at the Lido and one we will probably be finishing off when we visit on 3 April. Sign up here to join us on that day.
