This week's group session saw a selection of runners, walkers and bikers convene at the start point. The walkers were set off with a ten minute head start while the runners did their warm ups and then when the run started the bikers formed a back marker team.

Chasing down the walkers, the runners actually failed to catch the walkers who arrived at the task first. The bikers got waylaid gaining a new member on the road after they were inspired to stop us and ask about Goodgym, and then signed up on the spot! Brilliant!

Our task was at 61 F.C. where some work over the winter meant there were a new row of posts down one side of the pitch that needed a coat of fresh white paint. With a team of 8 armed with rollers and brushes the posts were turned from grey concrete to bright white in no time at all, with all the new posts getting a coat. The football team were there training and expressed their gratitude for our help at the club once again. The park was also packed with families out enjoying the warm and sunny evening, who also made several comments appreciating our impact in this much loved park.

Always very grateful task owners Richard and Cliff laid on some refreshing orange squash and a tub of chocolates for us to refuel for the return journey back into town.
