Report written by Mark Barun
Tonight we ran the extra (vine)YARD and some even further to make it a MULTI-TASK Night ! A total of three (FRENCH HENS) tasks were carefully put together with some behind the scenes admin from (AWESOME) Task force leaders to make it all happen!! Yes some wind down for Christmas but we wound up with a festive warm up that had Carols and fitness squeezed together outside Wholefoods...

What must they think, those shoppers passing by as we attempt a 'GOODGYM NUTCRACKER'!! As if three tasks are not enough the (demanding) run trainer had us singing the 12 days on Christmas in a plank position with a dubious 12th 'la lulla la' or something under our belt we set off for a menu consisting of
The run, thankfully shorter this week with everything else we juggled including being laden down with leaflets and cards but we weren't allowed to put our feet up yet as they were needed to tackle Nightingale Lane (thankfully just once!)
It was then downhill to vineyard where we divided into our groups to tackle three tasks.
All was accomplished - Cards delivered for those that benefit from the great support of Richmond Good Neighbours and the elderly in our community. Leaflets distributed for Richmond Museum so that many will know of the great community events happening with this super charity and of course 'bags of thanks' for great volunteering at Vineyard were beautifully packed and ready to be opened by some super volunteers!
Phew what a night .... but hold on what was left to do - EAT PECAN PIE!!! Gosh we can just manage one piece at least then - Thank you lovely Desiree of Vineyard!! Yum.
