Five Goodgymmers brought the sunshine back to the park this morning! After several days of gloom it was lovely to be out volunteering in the sunshine. Our efforts were rewarded with seeing 63 juniors take part - a little quieter than last week probably because if Remembrance Day parades.

Between Karen, Claire, Emily, Maurice and Nigel we covered lots of roles today: ~ run director ~ event setup ~ marshals ~ timekeeper ~ barcode scanner ~ event close down ~ photographer ~ results processor ~ report writer.

Well done everyone, another great morning!

Karen, Nigel, Maurice & Nicola had a lovely (and interesting) evening collecting litter around the memorial square and town centre. It wasn''t too bad for litter but we still managed to collect a decent amount.

We had some good chats along the way - one with a very lovely skateboarder who came and chatted to us and thanked us enthusiastically for our efforts, and another with a regular parkrunner who recognised us from parkrun. And then sadly, a chat with a lovely lady who'd had her bike stolen. It was such a shame for her. Hopefully she'll be reunited with her bike....

We enjoyed admiring the lovely lit up trees on the square as we did our litter pick but the hi-light was our lovely catchup afterwards at Hops where we had a drink and some nibbles while we put the world to rights.

Loved being with you all xxx
