After finishing the group run with Cultivate at their new venue, 10 of us we running/walking towards the Grange in Ealing common which is a few minutes away. Unfortunately Harvey couldn't join us for the party as he had a message from his family and Isak, the new goodgymer, wasn't prepared as it was his first GoodGym task.

Jon, from our neighbour area Hounslow, arrived in style for the party.

Birthday Brain Teaser

For this social/party Kash made a journey through the history of GoodGym Ealing and came up with a quiz.

QuizMaster - Kash

Teams - 4

As it was the 7th year of GoodGym Ealing, there were 7 questions in each round.

Round 1 - Multiple choice

The questions consisted of stats and some history. For ex Where was the first GoodGym Ealing task took place? - Acton Park - Lammas Park - Elthorne park - Boston manor park

Round 2 - Open questions

Round 2 had answers mostly around persons. It required knowledge of group runs and missions in the last few years. For ex Who did most goodgym missions in 2018?

Round 3 - Organisations we support

We had to find the task owners of the organisations GoodGym Ealing support. From Greenford to Southall to West Ealing, we support lot of organisations. If you read reports then you could make a good guess for most of them. For ex Who is the task owner of William Hobbayne Charity?

And the winner is..

  • 🥉 With 10.5 points Road runners took the third place.
  • 🥈 With 14.5 points Crossing borders shared the second place with Legends of the west
  • 🥇 With just a 0.5 lead M&M won the quiz with 15 points

The winners got a magic bean each

Time for cake

After eating some chips and carrots which were shared during the quiz, it's time for the main celebration. What's a birthday without a cake.

We borrowed the lighter from a table next to us and Jenni lit the candles

We got a chocolate cake and 4 vegan cup cakes.

While Kash was cutting the cake, Sevan was chogging down a cupcake as he couldn't wait for it.

After munching the cakes, everyone started leaving the pub around 10pm. Sevan took the last piece of cake with him as there were no takers.
