Tonight's task agenda - the Midnight Walk! 🌌

The three of us met at the University and headed along the scenic waterfront on our route to Christchurch Park 🌳.

We picked up the leaflets and made our way around the perimeter of the park, posting leaflets to all the residents who live on the outskirts of the park to inform them about St Elizabeth Hospice's Midnight Walk in May. The walk is starting in the park so it was important for us to target those houses who may hear the hubbub from the event so they were aware 🗞️.

After a few dogs barking at doors & some smiles at Ring doorbells, we had successfully leafletted our way through the roads around the park ✅.

Great job team & congrats to Leanne on 10 good deeds ❤!

The three of us tonight headed to our usual Thursday scout group task to grab the paint rollers again!

This time we were tackling the kitchen with a fresh lick of paint, reaching high and low to get to the tricky bits... hence the ladder!

Leanne and I ran from the waterfront meeting point, where we met Prakash at the hut who cycled. A chilly evening but we soon warmed up once we got going! 🥶

Another successful Thursday group run / task completed ✅ thanks guys! and special thanks to Leanne for the photos 📸

Who's coming to the next?!!

40mph+ winds accompanied us on our group run tonight but it didn't put us off! Myself (Natasha), Leanne & Miles met at the University and battled through the wind to run to the scout hut, where we met Prakash who got blown by the wind on his bike! 🚲

We targeted the second half of the scout hut tonight with paint, where we had got up to last week. We even had some tunes to keep us going, courtesy of Miles 🎶

Unfortunately I forgot to take any photos, so Chat GPT to the rescue... enjoy!

A successful session was completed and task-owner Adele was pleased. Next up - community mission on Monday! 🎯🍂🪏

This week, it was the fantastic four - we met at the waterfront and headed on up to the 31st / 9th scout group, tackling the almighty Back Hamlet hill along the way. Great chats along the way & well done Miles for your Chelmsford half marathon 👏🏻.

After our sanding efforts last week, we had the paint rollers at the ready, eager to get stuck in! Myself, Leanne & Prakash targeted the lower down (reachable!) walls with the rollers & more intricate sections with the brushes, whilst Miles got the job of using the longer pole & roller to reach the higher walls.

We'll be back next week to finish the second half of the hut.. and maybe go over some parts that some of us (me) may have missed haha!

Thank you guys for another great session! 🎉

GoodGym Ipswich was officially re-launched tonight with the first session & group run of many

The 6 of us headed to the 31st/9th Scout Group where we sanded all of the skirting boards ready to begin painting next week and the weeks to come. You can imagine the dust from all that sanding... but alas a Henry hoover was found and it was like nothing had ever happened!

It was great to meet everyone and chat about all sorts, including previous GoodGym ventures in Ipswich which was really interesting to hear about. Thanks Imogen, Miles, Leanne , Prakash & Jack for all coming to the launch. And extra thanks to Imogen for this week's punny title!

Thank you to the 31st/9th Scout group for welcoming us into the hut and we will be back next time ready to roll up our sleeves and get the paint out.
