A Fab-Fifteen GoodGymers, including several visitors from other areas, descended on Greenwich Naval College where we speculated on our dream 1:1 tuition, before decamping to the college lawns. There we embarked on a fun-filled warm up in the sunshine, featuring a frantic game of tag, followed by “pass-the-cuddly-toy”, while avoiding a well-dressed march-past of dignitaries.

We then ran (some people power-walked) to the Peace Garden at Christ Church. One group took apart a planter and shovelled the soil into large bags and flower-beds. Others cleaned flower-pots and cleared the bits-between-paving-stones of stubborn weeds. The difference we made in a short time was a sight to behold.

Returning to the lawns, now fortified with water, grapes and biscuits, we embarked on a few knee-creaking exercises, before staggering away for food and rest, reflecting on another job well done.
