A drink, a small bite and a chat about all things festive (with a bit of running chat thrown in for good measure).

Thanks all and ho ho hope to see you soon!

Eight elves helped out at Level Best this evening, wrapping gifts for the trainees at their Christmas party. Everyone did a fantastic job, and although it looked like a tricky task to start with, as there were a variety of different shapes of gifts to wrap, and specific name tags to match each one, the paper and sellotape was soon flying into action, and beautifully wrapped piles of gifts started appearing. Conversation topics amongst the group this week included: Paris marathon, Cocodona 250, teaching, flamenco, compost, baby names, and Goodgym!

A grey morning brightened up with dazzling hi-vis Junior Parkrun volunteer jackets! The kids huffed, puffed and laughed their way around the 2 laps.

The Goodgymers were stationed around the course making sure the kids were safe, happy and encouraged - whether they were after a PB, they were first-timers or just chatting to friends!

Huge thanks to the Parkrun Directors and regular volunteers for such a lovely FREE Sunday warm up!

4 GoodGymers, 1 mini GoodGymer, a social prescriber and a few parish councillors joined together on a sunny Sunday morning to clear a former community garden. The area had become densely overgrown and unused, but we managed clear the whole area down to the ground and uncovered remnants of a statue plinth, mosaic and community garden sign.

Lots of hard work, but well worth it to see the difference we made, and to imagine what the garden may eventually look like and how it could be used.

Shout out to Oliver, it was great to meet you on your first GoodGym mission!
