All white on the night

- Monday, 16th of January 2017
- Led by Tom Mutton
14 Goodgymers ran 4 KM to paint a converted classroom at Sharrow community centre.
The task
The task facing us tonight was to give an old classroom a coat of paint as it is being turned in to a woodworking space as part of Sharrow community centre. The centre used to be a primary school but now acts as a hub right in the centre of Sharrow in Sheffield. Maria, our contact at the centre had left a number of painting weapons and specific instructions for the team to follow. She had also very kindly left us some refreshments which was very kind. The team was painting for 50 Minutes before the task was complete. Many hands…etc Before long we were cleaning up and ready to move on
Run strong, live free
We then proceeded back to base where we used the car park at Sheffield United for some relay races. All terrific fun. The was a bit of ski jumping which rounded off a perfect evening.
We are back out again on Thursday for a taster session. Same time, same start location. Although this is geared up for new members, everyone is welcome and it would be great to have some of the regulars along to help promote our great work. Sign up here
