15 runners gathered tonight. All veterans of Goodgym so nobody new to welcome on a cold February night. We embarked on the steady climb up to St. Luke's Church in the Prestonville area and were tasked with distributing the 'Prestonville Friend' to the local parish. There was no scatter gun approach as we were provided with maps detailing the streets to target so we split into 4 groups with some staying closer by and others heading out into the hinterland with the words of Captain Oates ringing in their ears "I'm just going outside and maybe some time". Having successfully stuffed letter boxes and grappled with barking dogs we just about had time to do a quick synchronized steps routine with a partner as a brief fitness session and then all congregated at The Fountain Head for our monthly social where discussion ranged from all things corona to all things punk and goth with a bit of George Michael and Prince thrown in for good measure not forgetting that Tara had run her 200th park run the previous Saturday. Hurrah! Until next month... au revoir,adios and auf wiedersehn


This task supported

Like many churches in Brighton St Luke's provides so much more than a place of worship. They host the fantastic Real Junk Food Cafe, a parent/toddler group, an orchestra for people recovering from substance and alcohol misuse and an LGBTQ+ choir.
