Four GoodGymers were keen to get the Tub2Pub challenge off to a good start. Either that or they were keen to get rid of the evidence of all the chocolates they'd eaten over the holidays.

Laura was first to complete the task on a very icy Saturday morning at The Grove Pub in Welwyn after orienteering in the nearby woods. Later that day Ella made a trip to the Biscot Mill, unfortunately there were on cages this year, and the staff were a bit cagey.

On Sunday morning Gill dropped a tin off at the Ewe and Lambs who were a little bemused. Omar was busy walking to the Biscot Mill with a tub, and on the way found several more in a bin which he rescued to take with him. As they still did not have the cages out he called on Gill for some reinforcement and together they took the tubs into the pub. Again the bar staff was quite cagey. I wouldn't quite say they snubbed us, but Gill needed to use her persuasive skills to remind them that they are doing the Tub2Pub scheme and that they would love to take our tubs from us to raise funds for Macmillan.
