Report written by Helen
Thirteen HEROES came out tonight in freezing cold temperatures to do some leaflet drops for the 'Colchester Communities Can...' campaign. This is an initiative to ensure that those who are most at risk from the cold are aware of the winter support available in their area, and how to access it. We've all experienced some bitterly cold weather this week, plus snow and ice, so this is a very timely and important service that we were more than happy to support.
After a ziggy zaggy warm up at Leisure World, we set off towards the Hythe end of town to begin our flyering. The group then split into three teams to target specific streets, and everyone did an absolutely sterling job of delivering the leaflets in the dark, sticking together, and covering the area. We then headed back to base, to do a short circuit of wall sits, walking lunges and planks/press ups, then finished with a bit of stretching to complete the session.
More details about the winter support here: www.colchester.gov.uk/ccc or via the hotline: 0800 7311655.
As mentioned in the run brief, there is a GG social at the Square Pig in London on Thursday at 6.30pm if you're in the area, and if not, do try and vote for pun of the year: https://www.goodgym.org/happenings/goodgym-february-social
We're planning another Colchester social, probably on 28th February - hope you can make it, more details coming soon!
Congratulations to our prize winners this evening; Ella for 'most layers' (six), Louise for 'best woolly hat', and Chris for 'funkiest leggings'! Enjoy your treats guys!
