Lucy and Emma (and Eliza) wandered the streets of heath to clean the area of litter

Today saw 7 goodgymers get up early and head to encourage the next runners at junior parkrun.

We saw a great 152 out today, as we cheered, high fived, handed out finish tokens and scanned those barcodes.

A total of 25 new PBs, and a great 16 first timers.

Now to warm up with a coffee...

Our continuation of crafty November as 12 goodgymers got together for some active fun and volunteer joy, how festive!

This was probably one of our coldest runs yet this year, and all but one of us was wrapped up nice and warm - Michael, but at least the goodgym top was on display! Once again the lovely people at Autism Spectrum Connections Cymru, who have allowed us to use their space for this task.

Autism Spectrum Connections Cymru is there to promote and protect the physical and mental health of persons who have autism spectrum conditions through the provision of assistance , support, education and practical advice and to advance the education of the general public in all areas relating to autism. The promotion of social inclusion among persons who have ASC. Thanks to Neda for arranging this for us and waiting around.

Time to hit the streets and warm those cockles with a run / walk and of course a good ol' chat. Plenty to catch up on as the plans turn to Xmas celebrations, present buying and the yearly ice skating outing.

Crafting A-Game

The tasks at hand this week,

• Use one of the charity cards and write a message to a resident, staff or both for a local care home.
• Get crafty, printing stamps to make it even more festive.
• Gel pens, coloured markers for those wanting to get their draw on.
• Go the EXTRA mile and make your card with the coloured blank cards.
• HAVE FUN

Everyone was laughing and joking once again, the tea was on the go and we changed our resident DJ to Emma as we agreed this week Xmas tunes were allowed.

Suddenly - Michael remembered the special addition for the crafting this week and pulled out of the magic running bag, edible spray glitter.

We were finished by 8pm, tidied up and went to continue the social, mostly covered in glitter.

join us next week as we complete our last task for Christmas for CAMHS - all materials will be provided again, before sending off the packs to Bath.
