Four Goodgymers and two mini Goodgymers sleighed into junior parkrun, marshaling the turnaround, run route and magic roundabout. Spirits were high, cones were jingle-belled, and cheers snowballed. Junior runners dashed through tinsel turns, spreading goodwill, mince-pie motivation and a holly-jolly helping of festive cheer, all wrapped up nicely today.

We covered plenty of ground this evening, accompanying Santa and his sleigh through the streets of Baffins.

We were also joined by Jack Skellington and Captain America, who were impressively in the Christmas spirit.

As usual on our trips to the synagogue, Barbara had found plenty of tasks to complete keep us busy.

The boys got stuck in with sanding, dusting and glossing a table that was in need of some TLC. Meanwhile, Henry Hoover was in demand, with the Katies in the main chapel and up and down the staircases. Sinéad and Sammy were kept busy in the kitchen corridor with some clearing, cleaning and dusting.

We also enjoyed some mince pies, provided by Sam, and received a lovely Christmas Card and some goodies from Barbara and her team.
