Report written by Sheffield runner
With GG run leader Ash in charge this week, we stormed up one of Sheffield's many hills to be greeted by GG Charlotte. 13 Goodgymers helped GG Charlotte spread the word about the York House 'Echo' Charity Shop through leafleting approx. 350 fliers to nearby houses. Echo is a great community charity shop, selling good quality second hand clothes, which GoodGym has helped expand through a number of clothes sorting and painting community missions.
Our activity tonight: If hill's weren't enough - to keep everyone together as a pack, Ash had GGrs squatting to regroup on the way up to City Road. Ascent successes - 380ft of ascent achieved tonight :) Well done team :)
Conscientious Charlotte ensured everyone was safe through pairing up leafleters (and one trio), to ensure no lone working.
With ominous clouds forming, we headed out...
At the end of the task, it had started to rain, we regrouped under the building roof while waiting for the last GGrs to return.
Notable mentions:
- Serg's and Rob's joint hair tossing in the rain on regrouping following their run back up Castle Park Run heartbreak hill - all they were missing was a bottle of Herbal Essences
- James' homemade timber litter picker used during the task
- Steve's Splendid Spoonful leafleting idea - Copy Kat brought along wooden spoons for team Kat and Bee to try - our fingers were saved :)
We ran back to the Showroom base in the rain. With the rain continuing, Goodgymers stretched off after our run in the nearby bus shelter :)
See you again :)
