Wanner lick of paint

Our very first Saturday mini mission this morning was for our friends at Kamelia Kids where our remit was to paint a room used for special needs babies. Dottie and Andy gave us a warm welcome with tools, tactics and task instructions

To the rocking sounds of Abba, Freddie Mercury ,Steps and a variety of other 80's hits my trusty team proceeded to paint the room white in just 150 minutes

Painted Love

Gill, Belinda ,Karina Ed ,Nick and Paul, you all demonstrated how a dedicated team can combine skill with humour and doing good within the community.

Please accept a huge heart coated cheer from me. It truly was a second coat emulsion

We came, we painted , we conquered

Helping Hands hew hospice hedges

In glorious sunny weather we faced our longest challenge yet with a run to our local hospice at St Barnabas to help them tidy up areas of the car park that have limited access in working hours.

We welcomed new runner Ed tonight ! Big GoodGym cheer to you . We hoped you enjoyed yourself!

After a balmy run along the seafront including a brief pause for a photo shoot we were warmly greeted at St Barnabas by Jenny and John with some more photos and an outline of our task tonight.

It was Cheerie'hoes and fine pruning as GoodGym worked their usual magic in double quick time .

A lush GoodGym cheer to Gill, Beth , Michelle, Duncan, and Nick and and an extra one for Ed too for all the energy and skill you showed tonight.

Not only did we prune we tidied too before it was

Hoe down at Highdown!

With a brisker run back including a sprint effort for the last 2.5 k , it was an epic 15 k in total! Wow wow wowzer !

Congratulations and big love to you all

Looking forward to seeing you all next week :)

On a scorching evening in Sunny Worthing we set off on a 5k run to revisit Kamelia kids day centre to spruce up the garden prior to their up and coming summer fair next week.

It was an absolute delight to welcome Roisin back with her cheery pre holiday GG vibes and energy. Big cheer to you lovely lady and happy holidays with your family! Also a huge GG cheer to Gill who turned out instead of a good book tonight . You defied your body saying no to you and for this we thankyou.

More cheers to follow.....

Taking the weeping out of the willow !

After a scorching 5k run along the prom we arrived at Kamelia Kids to be met by CEO Dottie.

Our task tonight was to prune a large willow tree to tidy and open up a secret forest that the children enjoy playing in.

Beth once again got well and truly submerged into her task. I always worry we may loose her every week but tonight she emerged to show off her football skills with a stray ball that had to make it into the tyre! GG cheers also coming your way.

Michelle was very productive with her pruning and puns and also got a few more scrapes to add to her collection tonight. GG cheer coming your way Michelle ! Getting trim and trimming up tonight

Many thanks to Nick for all his banter and also his height to reach those stray high branches at the top together with his running and fitness skills again tonight. GG cheer coming your way Mr G !

After 30 minutes of fine pruning we left the willow weeping and returned to base incorporating some fine lampost sprints together with some core work and stretches at the end.

So tonight I can finish with....
