A great turn out at the RSPCA by Woking GG Members

I hope you have all recovered from last nights action and you haven't got to many thorn injuries or annoying stinging nettle tingles! Thank you for last nights action, we got a lot done in such a short time!

A big Hello and welcome to Hayley and Rebecca who joined us on their first Group run experience. I hope you enjoyed yourselves and look forward to seeing you again soon!

Last night we split into two team with myself, Claud, Ant and Anne taking on the paddock and cutting back the edges. With Conor, Mark, Rebecca, Hayley and Lou taking on the lane, they had the job of trimming the over hanging trees and bushes and cutting back the brambles. Whilst at the RSPCA we met a lovely little pony called Fidget who I think fancied coming home with us - Luckily our dog wouldn't get along with a Pony so Nick and I won't be taking on a Pony!!

Race Time

There are now many members entering races which is excellent to hear. With Anne taking on Winsor 10km in a couple of weeks and Lou about to complete her 70th Half Marathon!!!!! She will be doing this at Winchester half marathon! A massive well done!!!!

Woking GG helping out on Kingsmoor Housing estate

A big welcome to Lesley who joined us on her first GoodGym group run. It was lovely to meet you and we hope you can join us for some more group runs in the future.

This week we had a run to Kingsmoor housing estate to help preserve some wooden totem poles. There are three of them which the local schools helped to design and carve. As winter is around the corner and to help protect them from the cold winter we gave them two coats. This will help them last longer and hopefully be there for many other families to enjoy. So while Wayne, Cat and Lesley got bust painting.

It was the job of myself, Tiffany and Cat to help clear some woodland area which had a lot of rubbish and needed a good clear out. Whilst we helped clear the rubbish we were greeted by some of the lovely youths from around the estate and local area, who were keen to see what we were up to!

After the rubbish was cleared and the totem poles were looking like new again it was time to run back to the leisure centre.

5km was covered by Woking GG members tonight - well done!!

Next week

We are off to Derrys allotment to help maintain one of their plots. We look forward to seeing you there!!!

Goodluck

Goodluck to Cat who is taking on the Great North Run this weekend!

Hill Training

remember if you fancy some extra hill training - join us on Thursday evening - 7:30pm at the maultway carpark!

WOKING GOODGYM take on brockhill carw home. Its been a while since gg have been to brockhill to help out, but last night we had a task of painting.

We ran the 3.5km each way, a little further now we have moved starting points but that doesn't put us off! Once there we got to work with a shade of lilac on the walls. Since starting with Brockhill we have managed to paint the reception area and corridors. Also helping spruce up their garden furniture and painting window and door frames, so we have seen the transformation taking place and it looks great!

It was nice to see gg member Mark back with us after a summer off with family. A GOODLUCK to gg member Lou who is taking part in the great north run next week and to myself in the redbull quicksand event.

Next week we will be gardening in a new allotment which is part of thames valley housing.
