Report written by Lisa Hamilton
It was a short run for Stockport Goodgym last night, so we could have walked, once session per month is aimed at being able to walk so that more people can get involved with us, at Goodgym we like to include all abilities, and can accommodate any fitness level, if you want to run further or faster we can adapt, if your new to running then do not worry, we have back markers, everyone is friendly and theres always the options of a walk session.
So back to last night, the task was to prep for painting next week, we were back at the lovely St Matthews church to meet the fabulous Pam Robinson who does so much wonderful stuff for the local community that it always feels so good going to help out, that and she makes a good brew and always provides biscuits too!
The task was to sand/ wire brush the fences that surround the church house so we can paint next week ready for the opening of the house. The church itself is already used for various activities and events for the community, and the house is aiming to be a great extention of this. There are many seperate rooms that will be used for training courses, small group classes, therapy rooms and much more, Pam is very excited about the potential of these rooms and the positive impact it will have on the community. She has already set up a Facebook page for St Matthews house, and the church has its own website: www.edgeleyandcheadleheath.org.uk
Pam is a wonderful part of the community, and if you have any ideas or projects in which you could help or would like to hire one of the rooms then I would recommend getting in touch.
We were there a while sanding down and prepping the fences and so this week there was no time for a fitness session, we also had tummys full of tea and biscuits too so it was best all round!
Next week we are back at St Matthews to paint the fences, so make sure you remember your head torches and cover up if you dont want to get covered in paint!
Thanks everyone for coming along to help out, have a fab week running, be careful on the pavements as the slippy leaves are begining to fall..........
