We had a great session at St. Martin’s Church, with 6 of us sanding and painting the lower ground corridor. It was brilliant to welcome Javis and Zoe, both doing their first mission with Goodgym! Some of us rolled the wider wall spaces, some brushed paint into those nooks and crannies, while others had the ceilings covered! Fantastic team effort with the whole corridor looking fresh with a full first coat of paint by the end of the mission. 😊

We had a lovely run for our traditional loop round the Bournville area, culminating at the famous tree!! Laura, Morwenna, Eve, Rich, Abigail and Veronika joined me on the run- with everyone else meeting in the pub afterwards for a Christmas bev and also to say goodbye to my gallbladder which will hopefully be removed tomorrow!

Thanks all for a fab send off!

Before the GoodGym Christmas social, 5 eager GGers headed to the Good Intent to pick up litter pickers and complete a 20 minute litter pick in the city centre. 2 bags full was good work and a well deserved social afterwards.

On a bitterly cold night in Stirchley, we split into teams and set off to deliver 400 leaflets, and despite the freezing fingers, spirits stayed high as we covered street after street.

Once every leaflet had found its letterbox, we regrouped for a 4k run to warm up again (or at least try to!).

Huge praise to Sophie, who hadn’t run in ages but absolutely smashed a hilly route. Big thanks to Amy for bringing the leaflets and keeping everything brilliantly organised.

A chilly night, a lot of leaflets, a solid run, and an excellent team effort all round.
