Goodgym Cardiff Met as usual for our Tuesday group session, outside the Glassworks. Our destination was over to Sport Wales, where we would pick up anyone meeting at the task. Our task, a final farewell litterpick to the Summer, and boy did it get dark fast... Running lights needed next week.
We made our way into the depths of the park, over to the rugby car park, up to Western Avenue and back again to the start. It was quite a distance for the litterpick, but we cleaned up.
A quick ditty from Bugsy Malone,
We could've been anything
That we wanted to be
And I'm not saying we should
But if we tried it, we'd learn to abide it
We could be the best at being good
....
See you next time.

5 Goodgym folks ran, walked and cycled to St. Dyfrig and Samson church to help finish painting their railings.
Goodgym visited a few weeks ago, so we were here to get the remaining railings painted from blue to black!
"I tell you what I want, what I raily raily want"
Su, and Emma W took the inside and Darren, Emma P and Michael the outside. We were joined by some of the lovely church volunteers. The Reverand also popped by to kindly thank us for our efforts.
We chatted away happily whilst we..... 'paint it black', learning all about about the church and activities.
As a group we made quick work of the side railings and by the time we left the job was complete! Everyone was delighted, they said "We were 'even better than the 'rail thing'."
The sun was setting so there was 'no rail slim shady' left, we ran back to the pub for a well earned drink.

Hello, I truly wished to attend and enjoy participating with the group, but unfortunately, my wife's brother has passed away. She is going through a very difficult time emotionally and needs my support and comfort. I sincerely apologize for not being able to join, and I appreciate your understanding. With all due respect and appreciation.

What a celebration, goodgym CYMRU, we hit our EIGHT anniversary. Starting back on May 23rd, 2017, running to a community garden space, and here we after 8 years running to one of our regular community growing spaces Global Gardens.
We are very proud of how many community green spaces we have helped over those 8 years, and hope to continue the fight to keep Cardiff as green as possible.
Our groups tonight had cyclists, walkers and runners all making their way to Global Gardens. It was a great run through the park, a great way to spend our celebration run before the weather changes. Michael had both his goodgym and global gardens hat on tonight, as he got everyone into the site and ready to volunteer. Although the weather was due to change, there was still plenty of watering to do. The polytunnel needed a good soaking, as did plenty of potted new plants that were dotted around. We also had a second group tooled up and ready to get back to the removal of brambles and bindweed, people on wheelbarrow duty to run the weeds back and forth to the designated compost pile.
We had some returns tonight as we welcomed back Benjamin and Lucy, with the lovely baby Eliza and goodgym bunny. (is this a new mascot?)
After 30 minutes of volunteering (and baby holding), we were done and it was time for our group photos. We made our plans for afterwards to continue the celebrations with a few drinks and some food, and a catch up with each other.
