Tonight was a different night. Tonight was the end of an era and the very last official Goodgym group run. As of tonight, things change with Goodgym Crewe. We will still be around, doing our thing and continuing our good work, just in a different way. Goodgym HQ have needed to make some changes to the structure of the organisation, which has resulted in changes to 15 areas, of which Crewe is one. So, you might not see a report from us every single week, but you will still see us out and about doing things in the community - and when we do, we’ll make sure we let you know about it!

Tonight, Karen, Nigel, Maurice, Phil and Nicola spent the evening delivering some leaflets for junior parkrun to one of the local housing estates. With five pairs of hands it was a task which we completed in a fairly short amount of time, combining it with over 3 miles of steps as we did! And true to Goodgym form, the weather was kind to us and it was actually pretty warm too. I’m really pleased that the weather was nice for us for our last night as we have a little saying “it never rains on a Goodgym night“. It would have been a shame if it had let us down on our last night 🤣

We enjoyed our task and met a beautiful cat while we were out and about (see pics!) as well as having a good chat as we went.

Once we’d finished leafleting, we headed over to Hops Belgian Bar to have a drink and a piece of Colin (the caterpillar cake!) to celebrate 5 years of Goodgym Crewe. It was lovely to sit and chat and to also talk about tasks we might do in the future. I had the loveliest of surprises when Karen gave me a beautiful bunch of flowers from everyone. I was so touched and it was such a lovely, unexpected surprise.

Thank you to everyone who has made the last 5 years (almost) of me being an Area Activator such a rewarding and wonderful experience. I wouldn’t change a thing about it. Thank you for your continued dedication and support. You really are THE BEST bunch of people I know and I’m glad that we’ll always be friends.

But for now… over and out.

Love you all to bits. Nicola Xxxx
