🥶 Tonight was the night for a bumper turnout (37 people!), particularly impressive given the dark and chilly conditions. Nevertheless, we all gathered at the Ackhorne, including 3 newcomers - Tamsyn, Ellie and Julian - who we welcomed warmly. We then celebrated some epic achievements, including applauding everyone who tackled the Dalby Dash yesterday. We also had the cape of glory for not one but three heroes for tonight, we celebrated Amy's 400th good deed, Cara's 300th and Kit's 50th. Oh, and it was Laura's birthday. Amazing stuff 🦸

🚲 Vicky led a cycling group while Ed led the runners to the carriageworkers memorial arch - a particular impressive structure when lit up! (And one that lots of us had somehow never noticed before...)

🌸 There, we were met by the council environment team with tools and instructions to rotivate a (particularly long) strip ready for wildflower planting. Despite some initial confusion as to what we were meant to be doing, we soon got to work with enthusiasm, with our various tools. Jen had particularly impressive technique that led to some very uniform-looking rotivations (not sure that's a word...) Meanwhile, George had very kindly given away the most useful tools so contributed good chat and skipping advice, ready for the fitness session.

💪 Speaking of which, after an atmospheric group photo, we were led down the road (to much grumbling from our local GoodGymmers who were being led further away from home) for our fitness session. Vicky had set up circuits with 6 stations, including skipping, which caused lots of amusement as we admired some very different styles. Running while balancing rings on our heads was another challenge, as was running backwards (which may have led to a minor collision but I believe everyone was fine afterwards!) Sore quads from yesterday's Dalby Dash were starting to show themselves in the adaptations required of some of the exercises!

⏰ Soon, it was time to head back to base (or straight home for some of the cheeky locals, including one who 10 minutes earlier had claimed that wasn't an option...Not mentioning any names, Ed...)

🏃‍♀️ James very helpfully stepped up to lead the runners back while Vicky led the cyclists. Soon, we were back at base, stretching and hearing about everything that's coming up this week.

🍰 Laura and David had kindly brought cake, which was greatly appreciated and enjoyed, both outside and then in the pub. Jenna had done a sterling job lugging a huge number of Disability Week booklets in her pannier, which need delivering. Some heroes took some to deliver but there are still lots more. So if anyone's able to help with this this week, please contact Jenna directly (or Vicky/Ed who can put you in touch with Jenna if that's easier).

👏 What a night! Thanks everyone, for some great good-deeding, and hopefully see you all again soon!

*10 points for anyone who spotted the (probably quite obscure) Beyonce song reference...

Accompanied by a backdrop of fireworks 5 GGers helped out with various jobs at the Ghosts in the Dark event being held all week at Museum Gardens. Worth checking out if you not seen it before and we helped keeping safe and guiding the publuc around. A really friendly event so although quite a long shift everyone we all enjoyed ghosts and story telling alike and chatting to the visitors...

We started tonights session by welcoming two newbies, Nicola andAdam ! 🎉 Thanks for joining us — we hope you enjoyed your first taste of GoodGym, We also adorned Jane with the cape of good deeds for completing her 100th task tonight.

We then named and numbered off by making a pledge in honour of make a difference day. These varied from spending time with family to Max pledging world peace! Nick also promised his wife to improve on something that niggled her - we need to find out more!

We then headed to St Nicks with Nick leading out and Laura at the back, along with Vicky's cycling group, to tackle some unruly brambles and clear the path. Armed with determination our team got stuck in, cutting back the prickly invaders and digging out one or two. and made a good start.

We then took our photo with our #liftthecurfew banner.

With the brambles beaten back, it was then time to swap gardening gloves for game faces as James and Jane led a fun fitness session of Play Your Cards Right. 🃏💪

It was then back to base to sample some of Lyndsay's beetroot brownies and for some, wash it down with a pint!
