The final group run of January is done!

This week we opted to stay warm with an indoor task after a run or walk around Fratton (just to make sure we did get that exercise bit in!!).

Wilson was responsible for organising us tonight, with a counting task that she thought would take us about 15 minutes... let's not ask her to estimate timescales for future reference!!

She had managed to fill her little car with A LOT of jigsaws, all of which needed checking for the correct number of pieces. Most people were tasked with counting to 1000, which takes longer than 15 minutes it turns out! Some boxes were a few short of pieces and Maxine even had extra pieces.

Harry provided us with some energy balls as a post puzzle count snack and Jen provided some tunes. We hope that we've helped Val with her jigsaw phobia via immersion therapy.

We also had Helen and Sara from Energise Me along for the evening gathering ideas for GG Southampton which will be launching later this year. GG tourism opportunity! And Anna from Fratton Big Local popped in to give us our Inspiring Fratton award, we won the Community Spirit Award.

Well done everyone! Great to see you all.
