There was nothing rubbish about our task this evening.....just a little bit of healthy competition amongst the teams!

We were lucky to have Emma join us for her first GoodGym outing, thanks to Keith and Lea for saying nice things about us and tempting her along! Well done on getting stuck in....shame about the Berlin Wall though....hahahaha. Only joking!

We welcomed back Neil and Daryl after a few weeks off...they came back refreshed and full of energy for the quiz!

It was the last time we were meeting at Brewhouse and Kitchen, and we left with a bang. It was great for the last three weeks, however from next week we will be meeting at the Marsham Court Hotel (3 Russell Cotes Rd, East Cliff, Bournemouth BH1 3AB). Thanks to Andrea and her long list of contacts, they are providing us with a conference room to securely store our stuff, toilets, and a bar that is always open....and usually we should be able to use their car park at the bag of the hotel, free of charge. I will call them each week and ask how busy they are to check spaces...4 or 5 of you should be able to park there for free each week no problem....there is paid parking on the road also.

So the task this evening is one we've been excited about for ages! And the good news is, that we'll be back for similar things more often! Wooohoo! This evening we were tasked with entertaining the lovely residents at the Abbeyfield Care Home by running their monthly quiz. The gang emailed in some questions and soon we had put together a list of 35 challenging brain teasers!

The GoodGymmers spread out amongst the residents and made up 4 teams, picked out very witty Team Names.....like Team Fishtank....because they were sat next to one....and Westbourne Winners....who despite the great name, were less lucky with their answers.

The team with the not so creative name...Abbeyfield Care Home the best......came out victorious with 31 correct answers. Roshana and Abi were part of that team, congrats you guys! It must have been Abi's 100 good deed T-shirt that brought them luck....nothing to do with their brains!

In second place by only a point difference was the team with the most GoodGymmers in it! Neil, Nicola, Phil, Amber and Fredrika....a little hearing issue there caused a little offense...but they had soon made up with eachotter.....

Sue, Keith and Katy assisted the 4th place team, where Sue with her skills in helping the hearing impaired came in very handy!!

Marianne and Emma supported the 3rd place team and overall the lowest score was 25....which is still very impressive! Will have to come up with trickier questions next time!

Everyone was rewarded with an ice cream after the quiz and we had time to get together for a big group photo.

We plodded back the last 800m to our start point and bid farewell and until next week.

Marsham Court Hotel......don't forget!

See you all next week!
