A small but very perfectly formed group of GoodGymmers carried on the "let's reclaim Tuesday night as GoodGym night" overarching mission with a late-notice request to continue our tidying of the outside nursery space at BS£ Community's Southville Centre.

We were soon sweeping and swishing and painting and not dripping on the flooring at all whilst the sky darkened and much-needed rain threatened to stop play. We were really lucky that it held off long enough for us to get the task done, tidied up and moving the wood that we'll get to varnish in a future week inside to stay dry. We even got home before the downpour started, but at least the weeding should be easier next time!

Conversations were many and varied, including some long reminiscing about the Rhyll Sun Centre for those growing up in 80s Anglesey and Liverpool, which is still going under the trendy name SC2 Rhyll and also has Ninja TAG - now there's an outing with GoodGym Olympics written all over it!

You shouldn’t have made it look like I’m old and grey, it was just the light! On a completely different note, I went to the Rhyl Sun Centre for the first time around 40 years ago 😂
