It was a beautiful morning at Whitley bay junior park run where two goodgymers helped the younge runner safety complete the 2km course.

I was runner director and Muhanned marshalled an early marshla point and then was funnel manager. Everything went smoothly and a great morning was had by all!

It was a busy evening for GoodGym Newcastle at Newcastle University Students’ Union.

After running from Stepney Bank Stables and being quite relieved not to get wet, Jen met us outside and took us upstairs to get started. The group split into two, with some of us packing boxes for Stu Brew, which is Europe’s first student-run microbrewery based at Newcastle University. They are a sustainable microbrewery, managed by students through Newcastle University Students’ Union.

Lucy and Muhannad had got started with the crafting task straight away, the rest of us joining after the box packing. Jen patiently explained what we were supposed to be doing, with some of us being very much out of our comfort zones.

Everyone from GoodGym said they enjoyed the evening. I'm sure that the cakes, doughnuts and hot drinks helped, but it was a genuinely delightful evening. Thank you to everyone who came along tonight for an extended session, excellent commitment from everyone!

Three goodgymers volunteered at Whitley bay junior parkrun on a very wet sunday morning! 52 young runners braved the wet and we ensured they were safe to do so.

I was run director and Michael and Muhannad had a very special job of being extra marshals to make sure the young runners didn't run into some temporary fencing around the Panama swimming club building.

It was wet and cold but a short and successful mission!

On an sunny autumnal morning two goodgymers helped Newcastle council in iris brickfield park.

Our task was simple to cut down all the little self seeded ash trees around the big ash trees. This will help the big Ash trees with nutrients and also help with visibility in the the park.

We made good progress but I totally forgot to take an after picture. If you are interested look out for the next session in the parks in three weeks time.
