Greenwich Report written by Sarah M
On a chilly but bright April evening, 9 GoodGym-ers met in Woolwich for a painting task at the brilliant venue which is Woolwich Works. A quick game of shark attack and a run along the river warmed us up before our task which was, as you've guessed, to paint some planters made from reclaimed wood pallets in the Woolwich Works courtyard. If you've not heard of it, Woolwich Works is a collection of previously military buildings in Woolwich Arsenal, historically known as The Royal Laboratories, and home to a fireworks factory. Its now a huge cultural hub, hosting events such as live music & comedy, food festivals & community groups. The pallet planters were soon well on their way to transformation with primer paint, then we could get started on the fun stuff - making them colourful! (WW logo colours) Once they're finished they'll make a fab addition to the courtyard- home to flowers & herbs etc for use in the cafe.
Thanks to all involved! Our next group run is on Sunday for the litter pick and next Wednesday we're back at the Hervey Road Sports Field - hope you can join us!

Greenwich Report written by Julian Osman
Spring is a time of newness and today saw us celebrate two new things: our first Thursday group run and, more importantly, the wonderful Geraldine leading her first group run. Congratulations Geraldine on getting through the training and taking on this important role.
The evening saw us back at More To Childcare, a nursery in East Greenwich, which has been a GoodGym Greenwich regular for many years. We met at the Naval college, and after a short debate on whether we preferred the sea or the mountains, we were on our way, diverting from the direct route to dodge some tourists and enjoy a run through Greenwich park and by the river. On arrival we were met by Eve (and the friend that Eve forgot she was meeting that night) and we got to work in the garden. Weeds were removed, trees were trimmed, long-lost toys were extracted from the undergrowth and the alkanet was given a good seeing to. Soon the nursery was looking a lot more shipshape we ran off into the evening.
