It was a wet Sunday morning so it was great to see a bunch of eager volunteers down at London Fields.
First timer to London Fields juniors, Rupert, made the critical Timekeeper task look easy, tracking all 20 budding young runners round the 2 loop 2km course at London Fields.
In less than half an hour, every youngster had made it round and the cheering coming from the finish line helped spur them on!
Rupert and Sooz made light work of packing away and soon junior parkrun was complete for another Sunday.
Hope to see many more GoodGymmers down next week!

Eight awesome GoodGymmers got down to Hackney City Farm for some forking, shovelling, digging and shifting as we moved compost across the farm.
The farm is re-building one of its composting areas with some colourful new pallets so we needed to re-site the compost before the next task: building the new composter!
Huge props to Alicia for coming down to her first session and getting properly stuck in!!
Jacqui, Lucy, Alicia and Alice got started on the digging and loading; Sooz and John heading back and forth with the barrows, whilst Emre and Dan got on with re-siting the compost.
Massive team effort, and we’re now more than halfway through the re-siting and the compost is looking gooood!

Went well, got plenty of soup for Mr N. She would like Friday deliveries as they do stew (I think) on Fridays

Ms O's privet had been enjoying the record breaking wet weather and put on a good spurt of growth. Ms O called on GoodGym help to cut it back down to size.
Armed with Ms O's shears and her instructions to 'Cut it low. LOW' loud and clear, I soon had the hedge smartened up. But while the hedge was lower, it still wasn't LOW.
Reaching for the second weapon of choice - the secateurs - it was possible to cut through the taller woodier stalks and get the hedge below the height of the fence.
Ms O was delighted with the result, and we both agreed I'd got it lower than either of us expected.

Great evening clearing up the Regents Canal towpath!!
Amazing to have Sean along for his first GG outing as we met at Britania leisure center and picked our way East down to Mare street.
Filling up 2 massive reusable bags of rubbish along the way!! Brilliant to remove so much plastic waste before it gets i to the water system and plays havoc with the ecosystem. Huge number of empty cans collected which we were able to put in the recycling bins so avoid landfill!
Awesome work Sean!! see you again very soon!!
