Tonight we welcomed Solo for his first group run. Give him a cheer! He's moved to Fratton from Hong Kong so it's up to us to show him around Portsmouth!

After a confusing headcount which made Jen forget her name, we headed into the churchyard for a game of "stuck in the mud" - the 2 Jo's doing great sprint practice!

Next we headed north for a mile with lots of polite drivers and pedestrians standing out of our way (makes a change!). We arrived at the Naomi House shop where Sarah was already waiting for us. The majority of us are old hands at this shop now (and it's Sam's favourite) so bags were quickly taken out of the unsorted pen and tipped out ready for sorting. A few Christmas donations have started to appear, it's still too early to think about Christmas isn't it? India and Judy found a few halloween pieces, it's not too early to think about that - how about a halloween theme fancy dress run for our group run on 30 October?

Angela found an amazing bright t-shirt and shorts combo which has been put aside for her to come back to get (perks of the task!), there were a few fancy dress outfits and 3 matching t-shirts which Maxine, Jo and Angela modeled - the new line up of the Sugababes perhaps? Jen found a great Batman swimsuit which she wore for a lot of the evening before it found its way to the "Women's Summer" bag!

Here's a Batman quote for you that could have been made for GoodGym:

It's not who I am underneath, but what I do that defines me

Deep eh?!

As usual we got lots done. We are so well known for it that we have been asked to help with a massive shop sort out for a £1 sale throughout October - we'll be sorting out the sale stock and using the upstairs area to prepare the Autumn/Winter stock ready for putting out in the shop once the sale is over. Here are the links to all the community missions coming up at Naomi House:

• Saturday 21 September 3pm as part of #GGSuperSaturday
• Thursday 26 September 630pm
• Friday 27 September 630pm
• Friday 4 October 630pm
• Thursday 10 October 630pm
• Sunday 13 October 11am

Next week we are celebrating #GG10 - GoodGym's 10th birthday. We are going on a training run on Tuesday night and doing a one way run to our task on Wednesday so that we can go out afterwards and celebrate. Wear as much red as you can next Wednesday! Click on the links for more info.

Great to see everyone, see you again soon - whether it's at the Fratton Family Festival on Sunday, a community mission over the weekend or a group run on a Wednesday!
