We return to Goodgym after a weekend of celebrations across the country! It has been the Jubilee Bank Holiday weekend where the nation celebrated 70 years of our Queen Liz on the throne. There are not many 96 year old's who are still carrying out duties which include public appearances, meeting high ranking people and signing off telegrams. From what we know of Queen Elizabeth from the war, I'd hedge my bets and say she'd be a great Goodgym member! She'd roll up her sleeves and get involved, who knows, maybe even the keeping fit bit! 😁

Tonight we decided to meet at the task, not a bad location arriving to see rain over the hills, views of Corfe Castle and colourful beach huts with sail boats sailing behind them. 😀 We had agreed on a short speed session and on Liz's suggestion, headed to the bridge (no one can ignore a Liz right now!). We managed team sprints up and down the bridge with Queen Liz herself pulling a fast one...by a sneaky short cut - who'd have expected that behaviour from a Elizabeth! Three rounds of sprints led onto lamp post runs which included fast and slow. Finally to finish it off- we headed for the goal posts for final sprint sections. All sprints were short but lung busters to get your heart racing.

We found Stan's iconic car in the car park with shovels and a wheelbarrow. So straight to work it was - clearing the side pathway and filling holes across the park to avoid trip hazards. Stan is grateful for help with heavy lifting part so saved us jobs like this we can really put our back in!

Holes filled, soil cleared from the side path and a happy team of volunteers.

In the words of Paddington Bear- Happy Jubilee your Majesty...and thank you for everything ❤️
