‘Underwear, beer, and pizza - all you need for a night out’ - Fay Downing, 2025

Chelmsford Report written by David Chatterjee

Meeting in the rapidly fading sunshine Fay offered us the option - take on #FaysFysicalChallenge and be legends or wuss out. Naturally, Andy wussed out. You can see the challenge and the rest of us tackling it on the gram. Newcomer Steve must have wondered what he got himself in to! Welcome.

We undertook a bit of democracy and decided to go for the run first, as we were picking litter very close to base. Leah was confident she knew where she was leading us and we set off for a jaunty 4.5km run.

Once we got back we picked up the pickers, the bags, and the area activator. Some disgraceful littering by people, but graceful GoodGymers got to work.

Some lovely finds tonight. My personal highlight is the (empty) parking ticket we found which Steve put on the car blocking the pavement. I'd love to see the driver's face when he saw it.

Rich W will be gutted he missed out on spoons. Someone won't be best pleased they lost their credit card. But even worse, someone will be devastated I'm sure that they ended their night without their trousers and underwear! Three very full bags found, excellent work.

I am looking forward to hearing how Richard gets on eating a kiwi with the skin on as though its an apple, and how Rob's race goes this weekend! Jealous of him going to Prague at the start of April, less so for needing to do the half marathon...

The clocks go forward next weekend so it'll be light for group runs soon, that'll be almost as exciting as getting my hands on some more of Martin's allotment produce.

Happy running everyone! See some people at Parkrun, if not next week.

We're gonna run down to Second Avenue, and then we'll give them leaflets

Chelmsford Report written by Angela

After turning up exactly on time with Rich and Jane, Fay had set a plan of attack for the Avenues part of town which Andy back-lead us the long way so we could have a bit of a run.

Robert told us all about his Super Half runs and puts the call out for Milton Keynes half runners (GoodGym race team?). Russell has been working on his excellent pace to run the other MK half (how many halves do they need to make one MK?).

Sallyann was back on the power walking, getting to/from the leaflet drop spot before the rest of the gang. Laurie gave us Dylan and David updates. Erin enjoyed the bike chat, is it time to go wheeling soon?

Leah requested a longer run back to feel extra smug at pizza night, which we were all NOT invited to. So rude. Martin was also looking forward to post-run dinner treats. Benedict somehow didn't feel the cold, which is nuts because it was freezing.

Most of the gang then headed off to Back Inn Time, further proving that goodgymmers can be drawn out of winter hibernation early with the promise of food.

a Quality(street) task

Chelmsford Report written by Angela

It was lovely to meet recent joiners Linn and Leah, which reminds me I need to finish signing up for aaaall the supermarket reward schemes. Joel had taken the evening off child wrangling for a good cause. Bets were taken on who would turn up last and/or late, Andy just pipped Martin on arrival but technically no one was late (hurrah!).

Fay was up for the run and we had a cruise down the highstreet to the new Little Edi tardis. Hiding behind a white door is a huge, soon to be excellent space for a foodbank and community support.

There were tables to be assembled, racks to put up and some painting to be done. But first things first! Anyone want a cup of tea? Biscuit? Sneak a few chocolates? We probably shouldn't pick favorite charities but if goodgymmers hear the kettle going on you might just double our numbers.

Rich, Erin and Benedict approached the racking full of confidence and in their defence, they did read the instructions first.. just not the front of the box, which was unfortunately labelled 2 of 2. Once 1 of 2 was discovered they threw it together in no time.

Team table got building. Again, reading the instructions first (pattern emerging here) but the tricksy tables turned the tide and were actually supposed to be able to fold up. Once all the tables refused to fold there was some last minute jiggering but we pulled it off in the end.

A cold jog back but looking forward to Little Edis open day on Saturday 5th April.

Good luck to all the runners out and about in Chelmsford on Sunday.

Meeting King Charles at Beaulieu

Chelmsford Report written by David Chatterjee

It claimed it was six degrees out. It felt colder, bring on the scorching 14 degrees it will be on Friday! Leah was first to arrive, eager to enjoy her first GG run, and with a longer run planned, even Martin was on time.

We headed off at a nice chatty pace, until we arrived to the edge of Beaulieu where it became dark and Andy led us climbing through bushes, smashing past cordoned off paths and roads, and Russell moved fences to get us to our destination. Nothing will stop us wanting to do good deeds.

It was lovely and warm inside the community centre where we got to work painting the hallway, complete with annoying motion sensor lights which kept turning off, and specific instructions to NOT paint the ceilings. While Fay and Little Rich made heart shapes in the corridor, an in-depth conversation about the proposed restructuring of Essex Council, or whatever council nonsense, was underway between Jane, Leah (both who work for councils), tall Richard (concerned citizen) and Russell (self-proclaimed Head of Essex Council). Delicious shortbread was served.

After we ran out of paint and had done the washing up, we posed for a photo with the photo of King Charles. Andy gave old Charlie a salute and we headed off. Check out the sick black and white filter I put on the photo. Leanne led the run to her house but slammed the door shut before we could all join her for dinner. Rude. We ran back to base, heckling those who went for a sprint finish and discussed upcoming plans!

  • Task for Little Edi next week, led by Angela
  • Helping out at the bag drop at the Chelmsford 5k/10k/half marathon, and then some of us running it too
  • March 8th Beer festival
  • Pub quiz first sunday each month (reigning champions!)
  • and of course more tasks coming in March!
