Evelyn & I had a great session today assisting the Basingstoke Sports & Social Club! It was Evelyn's first ever GoodGym session and it was certainly a different one! We started by going for a 2.5km jog/walk chatting the whole way! Then we came back to the Social Club and were introduced to our nemesis for the day... The storeroom cupboard! And boy oh boy was it full (I am going to learn to take before photos), packed all the way up to the door with open bags, paint and loose sports equipment. We started by taking everything out (which took 35 minutes) then matching up the cricket pads (which took 15 minutes) and then filled up all the bags before refilling the store room in a much tidier fashion. The most fun thing we found was a box full of Christmas lights they didn't even know was there and the weirdest was definitely an exploded tub of vaseline which I found while picking a bag up..

Was a great session, super excited for next week which is going to be a really big session

I went to the #LetsLiftTheCurfew session at the Basingstoke Aquadrome to provide a safe jogging option for the night. There was no one there who wanted to jog, so I left them to go for their safe walk and went home. Going forward I would join them for the walk, but I had been feeling sick

We had a great night completing the litter bingo, and we were very impressed by how clean Basingstoke already was!

But saying that we still filled 4 bags worth of rubbish on our way to and from Eastrop Park with a bit of competition to complete the bingo card.

As a group the only bit of the bingo card we didn't find was clothing!

A huge thank you to Jenni for coming from Reading, was great seeing you again and telling us about what you are up to.

Thank you to Sammi & Macie for bringing some litter picking equipment and lovely seeing you again.

Well done to Lindsay for finding the nappy!!

Great to see this incredible initiative giving women a safe place to exercise in Basingstoke! Thank you to Ruth for joining and helping lead the running group around. there was 4 of us running and a group of 6 walking.
