SESSION ORGANISER
Find out about GoodGym TaskForce
Report written by Swindon runner
The dreaded Covid-19 may have meant the postponement of this year's summer Olympics in Tokyo but the GoodGymers of Swindon plus our guest Daniel from GoodGym Bristol were made of stronger stuff and so the first ever(?) GoodGym Swindon Olympics took place within multiple venues without the need for any masks or gloves.
As the clock ticked down to the start, webcams throughout the town sprang into life as we all 'Zoom-ed' into view and the weekly GoodGym Swindon met up with each other virtually once again. Host Charles took up the challenge of organiser for this week's task and the Swindon GoOlympics was duly launched. Alas there was no James Bond to parachute in HM the Queen with her Corgis to formally open the proceedings, just a hairy Yorkshire Terrier mutt.
After a 'complaint' about the way
that Charles had posted messages
on the WhatsApp forum
tonight's 'contestants' were welcomed
to the event
word by word
with one word
on each page...!
After the glorious sunshine over the Easter weekend, this week's icebreaker which was to state what song reminded people of summer or summer holidays and what an eclectic bunch we are with everything from Cliff Richard to the Isley Brothers. Then it was time to get your running shoes into the starting blocks as each item was produced and off everyone ran to see who could locate the object first. The objects ranged from a piece of fruit, a pair of clean socks and from a corkscrew to a DVD. After ten objects had been located there was a tie between Stuart and our Zoom host Gaby, with Gaby winning the 'playoff'. A virtual gold medal has duly been awarded. After the virtual closing ceremony, like every post GoodGym task, we had a good old natter till suddenly our time was up.
We hope you enjoyed GoOlympics and it helped you forget everything that is going on for an hour. See you again next week for another fun social!
