What a beautiful Saturday to spend at the Hervey Road Sports Field helping Annie in the little slice of paradise she has cultivated over the last couple of years. Some of the group fresh from their Parkrun travails, we met and quickly got stuck in with Annie, who is down here twice a week working hard. Special welcome to Ese and Lara who attended their first GoodGym session today - lovely to meet you both and kudos to you for turning out in this heat!
The team dug out tons of thistles and brambles, filling up several big bags over the course of the morning - time well spent doing some good!
We're helping at Glyndon on Wednesday night - come and join us to celebrate Julian's 500th good deed if you're free! We're back at Hervey Road next Saturday
Until next time :)

The first Saturday of the month means a Goodgym morning at the lovely Maryon Park Community Garden in Charlton. 4 of us were greeted by a hill of woodchippings followed by chat with Tim & Edna about the task ahead, which was to re-locate the hill up to the forest school area beyond the allotment plots. Shovels at the ready, we and some brilliant MW volunteers got to work, wheelbarrow races ensued and soon the mountain had become a molehill, with the woodchippingy mulch raked over the area it was needed and any leftovers spread around the plots. We were super lucky that the rain held off & the sunshine was on our side, and even more lucky to be rewarded with tea & biscuits after the task. Thanks to all involved & have a great Bank Holiday weekend! 😊

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!
