Ice Pole Dancing in Old Portsmouth

Portsmouth Report written by Katie Carew-Robinson (she/her)

It was a hot and humid evening but we got straight out and headed south to Old Portsmouth. We were impressed by the number of cars stopping to let us cross roads - must've been all the red GoodGym T-shirts on display!

When we arrived at St Judes, the caretaker Mark had lots of tasks lined up for us so we split into teams:

  • Jo, Sophie and Sam finished what we started last visit and tidied up the front garden. They managed to expose the road sign from it's hiding place in the overgrown bush so we knew where we were. A local resident even poked their head out to say thank you to us!

  • Rosina, Sianne and Mel tackled the ivy that was threatening to take over in the playground. They too found a fence underneath and managed to not get too distracted by the fun looking beach house and gym equipment in the playground.

  • Tony and Alasdair dug over a big pile of soil and spread it onto the path in the forest area before joining Alison and Gemma who'd swept up all the litter and leaves in the massive playground.

We were all rewarded for our efforts with Mr Freezy ice poles = much needed on a warm night. Thank you St Judes!

We will be back again next week to see what tasks Mark has dreamed up for us - I'm sure there will be plenty. See you then, sign up here.

GG Pompey shout outs:

A big well done to Gemma who completed her longest ever run tonight. Congrats also to Alison who has walked a marathon for charity since we last saw her. And good luck to Jo at the Blaydon Race this weekend - we're looking forward to hearing about it next week.

As ever, all the photos I took (except the really blurry ones!) are on our Facebook page. See you all very soon.

Shelfless Acts in Fratton

Portsmouth Report written by Katie Carew-Robinson (she/her)

Welcome to Charlotte, Duncan and Tina who joined us for the first time. Good to see lots of familiar faces back to do good whilst getting fit too.

Our task tonight was about as close as we could get but to make sure we still got some fitness work in we headed to the grounds of St Mary's Church for some laps and drills (hope you're not too sore in the morning!).

Soon after, we headed round the corner to 250 Fratton Road where the Salvation Army are setting up a therapy centre for people in recovery. When we arrived there was a very full room that needed clearing including 10+ boxes of books that needed to be transferred to a big cupboard on the landing. The team quickly sprung into action; some forming a human chain to transfer the books; others lifting and shifting broken bits of furniture and other random things (including a food processor) to be packed into the storeroom. The empty boxes were flattened and collated in the garden. Once the room was empty, Charlotte did excellent work with the vacuum cleaner.

Our hard work was rewarded with some drinks (thank you Lauren) and as we were so efficient, we even had time to run to the park for a 500m lap time trial (Ashley was flying tonight) and a bit of core work.

Our stretch session was completed with the run report title (thank you again Shakira) and the best use for the cones.

Strike a pose.... vogue!

See you next week for another trip to St Judes, sign up here. Or if you just can't wait till then, come and join me at the Fitness Festival on Saturday
