Never Mind the Curry Quiz
Friday 20th February
Written by StephDucat
Friday night is for most people pub night and maybe a pub quiz to start off the week end. Two Goodgymers decided to join Mind at their Mind Quiz and Curry night at St Stephens church in Richmond. Susan arrived early to help setup and give hand in the kitchen. Steph Ducat a bit later to meet lovely Jo and Suzanne who he already knows from the Elf Mind fun run. Assigned to raffle tickets with some great prizes. The quiz master kicked off the evening after everyone had their lovely home made curry. MIND your business was the rule for the evening : no cheating. Susan was minding her business with the other volunteers in the kitchen. Half time and it was rush hour at the bar and raffle table for more drinks and chances of winning a fabulous prize. Fantastic evening and yes 2 undercover Goodgymers - GG Tops under the Mind T Shirts.
3,2,1... Go Mental!Mental Elf time
Sunday 7th December 2025
Written by StephDucat
On a wet and damp Sunday morning 5 Goodgymers made their way to Marble Hill Park in Richmond. Setup for Mind RIchmond for another Festive Fun Run 5km. Putting up gazebos, tables, chairs and signs up. How many Goodgymers does it take to put signs up with cellotape? 5 of course: 1 supervisor, 1 sign holder, 1 cellotape master, 1 scissor crafter and 1 quality controller . All was up in no time and ready for the choir to sing songs, followed by a Go Mental warmup before a race at 11am which 4 goodgymers ran. Then it was time to put down and pack everything in the rain.
