We had a quick change of plans due to an emergency cancellation of our task at the Real Junk Food Project. Brighton Good Gym-ers practiced their hill running heading up to the Brighton Table Tennis Club.
We made quick work of washing up and cleaning the kitchen and reorganising cuboards.
Others folded and resorted the lost property pile so people could find their items more quickly. This included sorting out a large pile of lost glasses.
The task was done in record speed!
Thanks Theresa, BTTC Women coach, for hosting GoodGym today, and all as ever for the amazing job!
We followed this session with a social gathering at a Christmas Choir, where GoodGym-ers Rosie and Ben were the stars!
All STARS TT, actually :-) !

On a chill Tuesday evening the Brighton Good Gym team sallied forth.
Firstly a short exercise session led by Stefania. Warming up by running laps around Victoria Garden. Then lunges and high knees to keep the cold at bay. As a finisher we ran up the hill to Brighton Unemployed Centre Families Project (BUCFP).
We were welcomed into the warm at the friendly BUCFP staff were and told about all their amazing work supporting families on low incomes, providing low cost laundry, benefit advice and free vegan meals.
The task was wrapping presents for their free raffle at the Christmas Party. Christmas music on Rosie's phone got us into the seasonal spirit. The gang made short shift of the task and was not defeated by a toy donkey and gremlin. They were on a roll and even had time to move some tables and chairs.
We finished up with some photos. Then it was a wrap!
See WHAT's ON NEXT at GoodGym Brighton!

While several Brighton Goodgymers headed to Lewes via bike train, those of us who prefer to avoid the sensory overload of Bonfire Night came to Lavender House, armed with head torches for some intensive weeding!
With the night punctuated by the frequent bang and sparkle of fireworks, we ran up our favourite hill and were greeted by the task owner, who provided an array of garden tools for us to get to work with.
Sherman was an unstoppable force against the weeds, and several of the team even cleared the weeds outside the fence too. Meanwhile, Frances and Michael got to reprise their favourite pastime of pulling the ivy off the wall (so satisfying).
We soon turned the urban jungle into a clear area, into which residents will be installing raised beds to grow vegetables ๐ฅ๐ฅฌ๐
Thanks everyone for a great effort tonight! ๐

13 GoodGym-ers braved the incoming dark night to run along the Lewes Road at rush hour to Stanley Court, which is a YMCA supported accommodation.
We were last there in spring to help clear the small back yard area and to create a useful open-air space for gardening and other recreational activities for the residents. Over the summer the dreaded bind weed has made its presence known again so we were clearing the back yard, cutting back, pulling weeds and getting rid of the bind weed.
We also did some litter picking in an alley way next to the court, where lots has been abandoned in years. It was a real adventure to navigate in the poor light, but we managed to do the job.
A familiar face joined the team for the first time in Brighton - Welcome Jo!
We all made a big difference in a small area, and this is very satisfying!
Hoping that the little garden thrives over the winter.
Afterwards we jogged along to the Level Park to do some speed training, watched on by the ever-present skateboarders.
