6 runners and 5 walkers mainly swam to The Southville Centre on a very soggy, dark and dreary night, even the Bristol Light Festival rarely pierced the gloom, but did that stop us!?...

Well, after arriving, Ru the Receptionist (not related to Rue the Day) showed us the kids' play deck that needed deconstructing, and the notes included a request to sweep and weed outdoors. 11 hardy GoodGymmers bravely volunteered to remain indoors while Caroline, Marianne and report-writer Vaguely Northern Darren had the easy job of sweeping and weeding in the glorious evening sky full of hydrating rainfall!

The indoors people did as much as they could with the most mis-matched set of Allen keys they could find, and what looked like a child's screwdriver set from the 1980's. 'We did as much as we could with the time available, and at least no one had to go to A&E' were the words I think summed up the night and I wonder if Dave has returned with his 'proper toolbox' to finish the job?

We polished off the night by drying out at a local vegetarian Chinese restaurant for February's GoodGym Eats, arranged by Alice this time now Clo has moved a bit further away.. And we'd turned up soaking wet last time we were there, too!
