We applauded Richard P for his 250th parkrun volunteer, incredible work to tie with his 80th good deed.

Onward ho to the pub to do the leaflets and meet the four who walked there tonight. We voted and decided that less than 2k there would be preferred. Naturally Joel totally ignored us and we did 3.4km on the way there! Martin was in charge of conversation topics and chose the Chelmsford area activator role!

The pub team had laid out the leaflets ready (waiting for Andy and his City Sounds) with such intensity that Leanne had sliced her finger open.

Wine in hand, Sallyann revealed she had only woken up at 10:30 this morning, what a life of luxury! Asking Fay how Paisley was i was informed she currently 'smells like a tart's boudoir'. Lovely. As we were leaving we spied an advert for Caribbean roast dinners, now that is intriguing.

Next week is delivering all the leaflets we folded today and the vague plan is Chelmer Village way. CHESS, Age concern, City Sounds, Hearing Help Essex, Colchester Zoo Stampede, and Beaulieu Community Centre. See you there!

8 Goodgymers braved the cold and rain and made their way to the meadows shopping centre where we were kindly let in by Jennifer ( and the security guard) into the warmth of the Artists at the Meadows Gallery.

Our task tonight was to do a bit of tidying in their upstairs store room which was overflowing with weird and wonderful items. After a bit of dressing up we got stuck in and sorted lots of things into a many a different pile. Mainly fabrics, but its a start, and possibly overloading a rack in the process but you can't fault our enthusiasm.

With alot sorted ( but also alot still to do) we said our goodbyes to Jennifer with a promise to return if needed. We ran back into the night and then i had Chips for tea... mmmmmm chips

See you all again soon

Run Happy

Rich

congratulations to Jen for ten good deeds

It was a dark and chilly January evening, Jen, myself, Erin, and a late late late late late Andy met at the gym, meeting the walkers and the Walkers at the church directly.

We set off discussing our new year resolutions and Christmas lack of showering. Arriving at the church we raked right in to action. Filling bins and tubs left, right, and centre.

After we had finished we gathered round for a celebratory photo for the 10 deed milestone and unfortunately I am unable to post one of them due to the unsavoury pose Rich decided to do. Tut tut.

Then the highlight of the task! We were all given small bottles of wine by Stephen! Thank you! Much appreciated. I had to entrust mine with Sallyann so hopefully I will get them before she drinks them...

We headed off back and Erin and Jen chaperoned Andy to base while I peeled off.

Top work everyone! Don't forget it is our Thai food social this weekend.
