7 GoodGymers (and one other half) took part in the Ale House pub quiz!

We welcomed Roxy, Marie and Kevin to their first GoodGym social. It was a rowdy evening in the Ale House (some teachers were in enjoying the start to the Easter holidays!) but we got stuck in to the quiz. We weren't convinced we'd had the best performance but it turned out we managed joint second place. Not too shabby!

Afterwards we had a chat about what else we've got coming up in the diary and the benefits of getting mission verified. We want to give as many members as possible the opportunity to get involved with mission runs. Hopefully we can get a pool of people together so we can find more of these types of tasks.

Speaking of tasks, we've got some great ones coming up this month and a few more social activities too. Check out the details here

Six of us met at the uni while the other four undertook a community mission!

We got to the uni and had a nice chat - shame not to see new sign up and a return from last week but we caught up on all the latest news: Richard doing his 100th parkrun and getting new trainers, Andy winning a bronze award at the Hospital Radio awards, and Joel had tried out the new brewhouse. So everyone had a big week.

We sped off to the Ideas Hub and chatted about how it was a bit warm out and shouldn't have worn so many layers....more on that later. We met the community mission goodgymers - great work team - and began moving chairs from downstairs to up and polystyrene around. Rich got his hands on his own piece of bronze hardwear, via a suggestive robot. Best wishes from everyone at GoodGym for your wedding tomorrow!

We then bashed through getting the stairway painted! Marie made excellent use of a tea towel, and I did my usual phenomenal job. We christened the area we have painted which will be used for photoshoots and we absolutely nailed it.

We went to return to the uni and the weather was....not ideal. We all bemoaned our lack of strong waterproofs and parted ways like drowned rats.

Next week Laurie has guaranteed better weather.

Don't forget this Sunday is the Ale House pub quiz - getting there from 6:30 with the quiz starting at 7:00.

11 GoodGymers ran and walked 4km to paint for the Ideas Hub

For the first time in ages, we met up on a light and dry Wednesday evening!

We were excited to meet Rachel and Marie for their first GoodGym tasks.

After a more thorough introduction than usual, Joel led us out to our task of painting a new photography space for the Ideas Hub.

We met Sallyann and Edith at the task and got stuck in with painting a second coat of white on the grey walls.

David and Andy eventually joined us, and spent their time hanging out on the dark staircase with a headtorch and some masking tape, followed by finding more props to dress up with, which Richard couldn't resist either.

We'll be back next week to finish getting the photography space set up, see you all then.
