Find out about GoodGym TaskForce
Five a side tonight at Goodgym Bath for a 7k group run out to The Nest project which provide new and second hand good quality clothing and equipment for 0-5years completely free of charge and is available to anyone in BANES who needs it regardless of income faith or background.
A very warm welcome tonight to Jaxx who was along for her first run with Goodgym and although we seemed a little thin on the ground tonight, probably due to the Football and the fact that Glastonbury festival opens its gates in the morning.
We set off for the long but flat run out to our task with Beth kindly offering to lead on this one with Steph back marking for our small but perfectly formed group a chance for a regroup in the form of our favourite squats and a few traffic lights but a beautiful evening for this run with a chance for the odd stretch along the river.
The group soon arrived at our location to be welcomed by our lovely hosts Philippa and Joanna and after a debrief about The Nest project, Jo was quick to get the group organised sorting baby clothes into gender and age ready to be put into storage to make giving them out much easier. there were a lot of coos to be heard in the nest.
Vito soon found himself WINGMAN for the night although I think he was a bit optimistic as was Kenta who was a MINION miles away from that vest fitting him. Jaxx however was getting into the festive spirit even if a bit premature, whilst Beth was feeling peckish with her COOKIE MONSTER t-shirt. There was even a chance for the lads to have a little go with some NICE WHEELS after they had given them a clean up with a little service.
30 minutes later and with a table full of neatly folded clothes and nice clean wheels it was time to say goodbye to our hosts and head back along the river with a farewell to Kenta who was peeling off home to catch the final part of the Germany match, while the rest of the group made our way back towards the leisure centre arriving in the nick of time for a well deserved stretch. Thank you all for making tonight even though its wall to wall football at the moment and if you wish to be paired up remember to bring your ID along to the next group run.
The Nest project are looking for baby equipment in particular at the moment so if you can help get in touch or go along on a Friday between 10-2pm http://www.thenestproject.co.uk/
