For today's session we combined fitness, business and pleasure with our leaflet delivery and monthly social!

Catherine, Beth and Caroline met first and caught up during for a gentle 4km run (made to a round number!), jogging across town to meet Michele 🏃‍♀️

The foursome then set off with leaflets promoting Arthur Rank Hospice's 'Star Shine Night Walk', pinning on supermarket notice boards and dropping off in pubs around town 🔦

We made sure to end at the fantastic Free Press pub for our March monthly social, where we bought an array of crisps as an extra treat to accompany our drinks. The jalapeño & dill divided the crowd, but we all kept going back for more! 🍻

A HUGE shout-out to Michele on her 10th good deed with Goodgym - congratulations! Here's to the next 10 🙌 🎉

For our latest litter pick, Caroline, Harriet, Ilse and Michele met to tidy the area near the Coldhams Sainsbury's.

With Caroline arriving fashionably late (not my fault!) and making the most of her pannier space to transport the gear across town, the others got a headstart on catching up. We kitted up in our hi-vis, took our traditional group selfie and got to work scouring for litter. Alongside a glass bottle that we recycled, our most unexpected find was a flatscreen TV! We tried our best with the pickers but will have to leave that one to the council 😛

Excitingly, we were approached by someone pleased to see us and keen to litter-pick, so we may even have a new GoodGym recruit! 🤞

Our last push for the Cambridge City Foodbank winter appeal, delivering the final batch of letter packs across Cambridge.

Learning my lesson from last time (that it is quite hard to run for miles with 10kg of leaflet packs on your back) we had less of a group run and more of a group cycle with Caroline cycling furiously across town to meet me in Newnham and finish the leaflet delivery we started last month. Michele delivered a large batch of packs to houses in the centre of Cambridge, and all in, we distributed another 500 packs.

Earlier on in the day, Nick (top UK recycler) had been at it again with the litter picking, keeping the streets of Cambridge clean ♻️

Litter picked and leaflet packs delivered, we headed for a "quiet" drink. With the music pumping, there was a tactical switching of bars before any moves came out. As always, in the company of GoodGymers and with some much needed laugher, the social was a fantastic way to end the month!

Alongside our weekly community missions, GoodGymers in Cambridge have been out doing good across the city, helping the local community and pushing us closer to our January Challenge target!

Nick cleared litter from some of the worst hit areas. Not only did he clear it, he sorted the recyclables to ensure they were disposed of responsibly and reported fly-tipping to the council.

Michele did an extra leaflet drop for Cambridge City Foodbank covering another two streets on a daily walk.

Catherine took a plastic tub to a Greene King pub in support of Macmillan Cancer Support.

Great work team 🙌
