Last night, the GoodGym crew assembled to celebrate Nadia and Andy officially tying the knot 👰🤵🎉.

Huge shout-out to Anne for booking the Grand Taj 🍛🔥. A few people couldn't make it, but honestly? More poppadoms for the rest of us 🤤.

When Wayne and Kirsty rocked up, Nadia, Andy Anne, Luan, and Caterina were already huddled together around what looked suspiciously like the round banishing table from The Traitors 👀🗡️ (more plotting on that in a second).

Before any Faithfuls got voted out, two massive towers of poppadoms landed, complete with a mountain of pickles and chutney to dive into 🫓🧅. Rebecca arrived fresh from the daily grind 💼🏃‍♀️, closely followed by Alys and her husband Dan.

The drinks flowed: beers 🍺, soft drinks 🥤, and one absolute legend who casually ordered an entire bottle of wine just for themselves 🍷👀 (my lips are sealed, but you know who you are).

Between ordering starters and devouring mains, we got the full wedding lowdown 💒💖. Plot twist: it was ALSO Alys and Dan’s 1-year wedding anniversary! 🥳 How has it been a year already?! Time flies when you’re not getting murdered at night ⏳😱.

Naturally, the chat spiralled into Celebrity Traitors 🏰 cloak mode activated! Superfan Dan led the inquest, with everyone passionately defending why they’d be criminal masterminds on the show 🕵️‍♂️🎭. Dan dropped a hot tip that there's now an immersive Traitors experience in town... so yes, consider that fully pencilled in as the next GoodGym team-building exercise (trust nobody) 🤫🔪.

Top-tier food 🍛, hilarious chat 🗣️, and 10/10 vibes all round 👌.

Next stop on the calendar: the Christmas party, with Alys taking the reins! 🎄🎅 Get your party hats ready! 🥳🍻

5 Woking GoodGymers, Agathe, Anne, Julie, Melanie and Rebecca, made the most of the warm and light evenings while they are still around, to do a littler picking run.

It was a great opportunity to catch up as a couple of us have not completed a mission for a while. We also explored a new route some of us had not been to before while picking up litter next to a stream.

We cleared up the usual crisp packets, vapes and drinks cans but also a sock!

Plogging is meant to be one of the least favourite GoodGym tasks, but here at Woking we love it. It makes our community a better place, prevents more litter being dropped, shows GoodGym doing tangible good in public and a good chance to have a chat. It was nice to be thanked by people walking past.

If you could not join us this time, we might see you next Wednesday? In the meantime, have a great running week.

What a spectacular event which brings the running community of Surrey together each year with an opportunity to run a half marathon, 5k or vounteer, including a kids race.

The morning started rather fresh but the sun burst through the clouds to brighten up the day for the runners and the many supporters along the route.

Woking GoodGym were out in force with Anne deserving a gold medal for all the medals she handed out to the finishers. It is always a joy to see Anne as you cross the finish line. James ran with Woking AC and smashed a finishing time of 1:36:51.

Adam managed to crack the sub 2hrs that many runners aspire to with a finish time of 1:57:22.

Melanie did a great job cheering all the way around and finishing in 2:09:25 closely followed by

Rebecca at 2:11:10. A big thank you to Maya for cheering us along for the final push with 1.5k to go. Another thank you to the spectators, especially all the funny signs, the scouts for operating the water/fuel stations and the Woking litter picking warriors who make the most of the closed road event to help clean up the community.

A wonderful day all round. Same again next year?!

What a wonderful task organised by Julie, who kindly provided all the paint, paintbrushes, pots, tablecloths and even drinks and snacks.

It proved to be a popular task as there was a good turn out from the Woking GoodGym gang to paint bird boxes for Knaphill Lower School. We were given a wooden bird box to unleash our creative painting talents. Becky and Anne shared a box, and went with a very practical camouflage design, as did Julie and Kirsty who went with a beautiful shade of blue plus a cheerful yellow sun.

Nadia did GoodGym proud by not only painting a colourful box but also bringing along a friend for January in the form of her mum who is a good painter as demonstrated by her berry design. Adam ran to the task now he is getting back into running in time to paint a colourful red and blue box.

Ola showed his creative talent by using masking tape for his design. Vicky from the PTA popped along to see our hard work and explained 20 bird boxes will be placed along a trail for the lower school children to try to spot them all.

Vicky's son picked Stephanie's as the the best painted bird box, which was well deserved, as she was able to combine a practical but stylish design of green leaves.
