We’re going on a scavenger hunt
11 GoodGymers made their way 5.0km to help the Oxford City Council in Oxford.
- Wednesday, 16th of February 2022
- Led by Anwen Greenaway
Battling sideways rain, gale force winds and a sprinkling of fake snow, two teams of hardcore Goodgymers took to the streets of Oxford. Litter was picked, wild card bingo items were ticked off and chats were had.
We admired the famous sights of Oxford, marvelled at a very dramatic full moon and said hello to Mr Tumnus. A fleet of vintage cars was an unexpected surprise due to the new Wonka film set being in situ in the town centre.
Points for creativity to the team interpreting 'Heart Decorations' as decorating Julia within a heart of GoodGymers arms. ♥ Ritzy-est item was the red vintage car.
A good time was had by all, plenty of litter was collected, and cake for Vicky’s birthday was a welcome reward at the end. With both teams achieving a Full House it was only fair that the winner's prize went to the birthday girl.
