Richmond Report written by Jack Concanon
Good weather! In summer! In England!
It's the season of village fairs and we're lucky to be able to help out with lots of them in the Richmond area. Today's fair was an extra special one as it is the 115th Petersham Horticultural Society Summer Show, at it's core it is a long standing show where gardeners can show off their home grown fruit and veg, check out the pictures of it all.
Today's tasks ranged from building gazebos, setting up seating to putting up bunting (a lot of bunting); we smashed through this in no time at all and had plenty of time spare before the fair started so went for some lunch and refreshments at a local pub!
Another great day out helping the local community and enjoying the weather. Great job all.

Charlotte run a race with GoodGym for the first time.
Charlotte has done their first race with GoodGym. Performing on the day is a lot of pressure; Charlotte's dealt with the nerves and turned up on the day to make it happen.

Woking Report written by Woking runner
The Martians are behind you!
On a bright and early Sunday morning, James and Anne ran to the local MacDonalds for a coffee before hopping on a minibus to be driven to McClaren grounds on Horsell Common.
What was happening there, do I hear you askā¦
Wellā¦ Three trail races, 5K, 10K, 21K are organised every year entirely by volunteers from the Lions Club CIO.
All the proceeds are distributed to local charities carefully selected by the Woking Lions. The races are held on the beautiful Horsell Common on the western edge of Woking.
They are called the āMartian Racesā to commemorate H.G.Wells ās book āThe War of the Worldsā which takes place in Woking and its area.
On arrival, James and Anne were approached by Charlotte also a GoodGymer but from Ealing. It was lovely to meet another lovely GG member who might even join us when she moves to Chertsey.
Charlotte, we cannot wait to introduce you to the whole Woking GG team!
James and Charlotte completed the 10K race while Anne dropped down to the 5K. All thoroughly enjoyed their run.
You have one guess to answer this question: who, of the three runners, fell and hurt one knee and one ankleā¦. You would not know looking at the photos though!
Charlotte made her own way back while James and Anne joined some of the No Sweat Running crew for a well-deserved brunch at the Marciano.
We hope that next year more of Woking GG team will take part: we cannot praise enough the organization of the races and we could not run in a more wonderful landscape!
Next Wednesday, we will meet at the Run Company shop where we may borrow some Brooks shoes before joining the Run Company running group to go on a litter picker session around Woking.
You may wish to volunteer on Saturday morning before or after taking part to the Woking parkrun and on Sunday morning to encourage the Woking junior parkrunners.
In the meantime, happy running to you all.
