As GoodGymmers arrived for the task, the news spread that our venue for our festive Eats was unexpectedly shut with what turned out to be a norovirus outbreak - officially not festive. So whilst the teams set out to scavenge, take photos and collect litter on the way, Richard B and Melanie set about finding a substitute venue (The Stable was also closed, no room there).

Photos were soon flying about the WhatsApp group of 12 Days of Christmas achievements, runners versus walkers with excellent examples all round.

With a table found at Rudy's, a new venue for GoodGym, smiles were firmly back on faces as we worked out the complexities of food and drinks whilst "enjoying" Richard's specially-sourced prizes of jelly sweets where some were pickle-flavoured for a Russian roulette style flavour experience - shall we call that a new tradition?
