384 people ran/walked/jogged on a lovely cool morning after rain overnight. I even saw a puddle! As todays date was 22 August, it was our favourite TU TU day so there was a variety on show! Roisin was out on the course, Susanna was giving out tokens, Frankie number checker for the first time, me barcode scanner. plenty of Goodgymers running today

what a lovely cool temperature this morning & 351 people agreed & ventured to Catton Park including our very own Maddy (&bump) doing her 200th parkrun .

Tonight was our first time visiting Frere Road Community Centre. After a 5km run or walk to the venue we met Claire who had all the tools ready.

The main task was covering the outside wall in 'Brilliant White' paint! It had already been prepared for us - thank you - with weeds cleared and paint dusted, so we could get stuck in straight away.

In an hour the 5 of us covered approx 10m, with rollers, ladders and brushes, making sure the bricks were covered evenly. Eloise also managed to cut back a tall bush at the front if the building to reveal a lovely canary murial.

The transformation was brilliant indeed! We hope to return for more painting very soon - there is plenty more to do.

351 people attending today on a cooler morning weather wise, lovely conditions well done

It was a warm evening tonight! 9 GoodGymer's ran, cycled and walked bravely up Gas Hill to St Matthew's church.

We met Penny & Eddie who handed round drinks and pointed out where to work in the grounds and the car park, pulling up weeds and cutting back overgrown brambles & branches.

We started around the war memorial, pulling weeds from the paving around it, and cleaning off the dried moss.

In an hour we had also cleared the areas around the church sign, and improved access to the car park entrance.

Shout out to Mildrade, Konstantina and Hepsi joining us for their first group session! It was lovely meeting you all.

phew it was hot! but 390 people still turned out to run/jog/walk around the park. it was very difficult in the heat for volunteers also, except if you were in the woods which was cool. Roisin found a food way to carry all the equipment needed for the Church Street turn by using her cycle to transport everything, she even cycled up the pathway, well done it was a great balancing act.
