Southwark News

• Next week we're having a social after the run at Peckham Levels. Sign up here

• Tonight is the GoodGym wide social and it's happening in South London (yaaaaay!). Get to the Plough in Wandsworth from 18.30 for international pun of the month, GoodGym heroes and much more.

• A big shout out and hello to Shaun who joined us for his first ever run last night.

That's enough of the business

Whilst the country was gripped by World Cup fever, GoodGym Southwark had a job to do last night. With Emily visiting from Wandsworth we made a merry band of three. If I make a three lions pun is it a bit soon? Good, because it's really hard to think of words that rhyme with 'shirt'.

Our small crew set off for Tigers clubhouse in Burgess Park at a slightly nippier pace than usual, arriving the long way round (woops) to meet Vernon and Michael. Tigers are a community rugby club, encouraging local children into rugby. Vernon showed us this amazing video to thank their sponsors that tells you more about the club. It's a real heart warmer, it'll banish your World Cup woes immediately.

We had a list of things to do and a good half hour's work saw the five of us get loads done. We neatened up the edge on the blackboard (you can get paint that makes a blackboard!) and repainted the entire skirting board. Michael was very impressed that we got straight down to business - it's the GoodGym way! We had the TV on whilst we worked and an array of snacks and squash. Spoilt!

Emily peeled off home whilst Shaun and I blasted the end of the route.

Great work team, a pleasure to have you!

Next week I'll be sending those who fancy a longer run to Tigers to finish up the paint job and those who fancy a shorter one to Cossal Estate to tidy up the Tenants Hall. Sign up here.

Keep running happy, Lucy
