This week's group run took us from the town centre, along the busway to Kingsway Recreation ground and the 61 Football Club. Club secretary Richard was waiting there to issue the evenings tasks:

• taking down the plastic ceiling light panels and giving them a scrub down. They'd got a bit grubby and stained from old roof leaks.
• clearing out the storage unit, vaccuming and reorganising all the bits nicely back inside.
• painting the entrance lobby the club's baby blue colour.

We got to work straight away having completed completed the 3.5k run there, did a great job of all the tasks and got to enjoy a selection of fun-sized chocolate and orange squash generously provided by Richard to refuel us before the return back back into town.

Another lovely Friday at the cafe with 3 goodgymers sweating it out dancing and cleaning.

This week it was a return to the Brown Books shop for another session pushing this community bookshop one step closer to re-opening.

On the way there, David and Chrisshane worked together on Chrisshanes week 4 of Couch to 5k, doing a loop with four 5 minute runs with walking rests in between. Chrisshane is doing fantastically at building her running stamina!

Completing the run on arrival at the shop the rest of the gang were hard at work sorting the space out. All the books and other stuff had arrived from storage and needed putting out on shelves. Masking tape needed peeling, paint splashes on the floor needed scrubbing up and the whole floor mopped clean of all the building grime from the last week.

We soon transformed the shop from what looked like a junk shop of piles of boxes and bits, into a clean, spacious area ready to be arranged to entice readers in to browse the books.
