Tonight was our yearly Halloween run.

Michael had promised that if others came in some kind of costume, he would wear the inflatable dinosaur costume.

We met at our usual start location in the City Centre, after a quick chat we welcomed our newest person Deborah, who had joined us at a goodgym run at Love Trails.

CROESO

After a brief moment inflating, and some strange looks from the pub behind us, it was time to set off on our run.

We had cheers of dinosaur, t-rex, there were beeping cars and lots of waves. Maybe we should have a T-Rex more often.

The task tonight was helping at Cwtch Together, a charity run disability play project, which promotes inclusive play and socialisation for disabled children and their families.

They are holding 2 Halloween parties, Friday and Saturday, and our fun task was to help set up the spooktacular event.

Everyone got into the spirit as we dressed tables, got pumpkins ready, built a play house, decorated the hall and carried in sand pits and black boards.

As we ended our evening with the usual group photo, the t-rex returned for the jog back.

Join us next week as we begin our Xmas tasks for 3 weeks.

Four GoodGymmers met at Oasis ready to deliver the leaflets for Splott Community Volunteers. The leaflets were to let locals know about their regular activities like their weekly breakfast club but also about their big 10th anniversary celebrations which are happening on Saturday 16th of August 12-5pm at The Star Centre in Splott.

After eating a lovely almond and jam cookie generously provided by Neda (thanks/diolch!) the group were ready to set off. With Andrew navigating the streets, the group worked seamlessly to deliver the 180 leaflets in record time. Jen and Neda were off to do another good deed afterwards but they had a bit of spare time before their bus was due, so we all headed for a drink at the local cafe.

We chatted about travel plans and escape rooms and while thinking of the pun for the task, Jen taught us a new word “Jentacular" that means relating to or pertaining to breakfast. Overall it was a lovely morning with Jen stating ‘it’s been wonderful’ as she head to continue doing good and getting two deeds closer to getting her black t-shirt! You can do it Jen!!
