BROCKHILL CARE HOME

Back to our old stomping ground of Brockhill care home... so much care and love has gone into this care home from Woking GoodGym members. What we have done so far: * Painting the receptions area and corridors * Trusting us with window frames to paint * Painting the dining room * Gardening residents planting areas * Weeding and clearing patio areas * Sanding and Painting outdoor furniture

They are always so happy to have us, and we are always so happy to be there. Tonight was no different, we were back outside...maybe for the last time. You can tell Summer is coming to an end, there was a chill in the air! Back to what we started of sanding down the garden benches and painting them back up to look like new!

It's great to see some friendly faces back from their Summer Holidays looking sun kissed. Welcome back to Rebecca, who has been away for most of the Summer! Florent is off on his travels next week so we will be missing him for a couple of weeks!

*Brockhill is always a lovely run down the canal and back... but as the evenings are getting darker please remember a head torch for the way home. *

NEXT WEEK

Finishing off at the allotment - more work is needed and to tidy it up for the Winter. Remember to sign up on the website!

Goodgym Woking News:

A massive well done to Sally-Ann who completed the Prudential Ride London at the weekend, as you all know Sally-Ann has been training very hard for this event and at the weekend she completed just over 171km in just over 7hrs, a fantastic achievement. A grew of the Good Gym boys cycled down to Surbiton and gave Sally-Ann their support as she cycled past..👏🏻

Last Night At Goodgym:

So Last night we headed back to the food bank it's been a while since we were there last. We welcomed Debbie to her first Goodgym Run and. Welcomed back Lottie who has been very bust with work. Once we got to the foodbank Katie, Lottie & Florent got stuck in with sweeping the floors while myself & James started to move things out and clear the floor area. Debbie & Adam went behind with a mop and gave everything a good wipe down.

While there we noticed that the shelves looked very bare, we spoke to one of the member of staff who work there and they said that it been very busy a lot of people had been coming in, so if anyone had any donation to make please drop off at the food bank they certainly will appreciate it………🍎🍌🍐

Once we had finished the task we said our good bye’s and ran back down the hill to Woking Park. Once there we did a quick loop of the field unknown to us when we got back to Nick we noticed he had put out 8 cones in a line evenly spread out we knew what was coming..😱

We had to run to the first cone do 10 press-up’s run back then run to the 2nd cone do 12 squat jumps this continued to the last cone and each time doing a different exercise and then going back taking one off the total… never heard so many groans and moans…but everyone put the effort it and done it, then we had to to sprints to each cone and run back this is when James tripped over the invisible dog, he made the fall look very professional turning it into a stunt man roll, it was very funny. We finished with a quick warm down and stretch.

Don’t forget to sign up next week for the RSPCA, We will be meeting there.

Have a great rest of the week everyone.😃
