On a very chilly Saturday morning 3 Goodgymmers ignored the temptations of a warm house and came out to help the staff and parents of a local Hackney school with part two of the changes to the playground - attached are pictures of the first round in November, where artificial grass was turned into planters, among other things.

There was plenty of time to admire the results of previous hard work (including some GG sweat) and chat, because due to a few miscommunications, none of the task owners were present until well into the morning, when GG time was running out. So unfortunately this time there wasn't any Goodgym sweat split, but hopefully we'll have better luck next time.

Helena & Frankie, apologies from all sides for the mix-up, thanks for braving the cold. Frankie - it was very nice catching up! Helena - so lovely meeting you, thanks for the company - looking forward to hearing about what you discover at the expo!
