On a chilly but surprisingly pleasant Spring evening eight of Goodgym Redbridge's finest met to spring clean and ran 6km in the process.

With Will joining is for the first time it was crack squad meeting help earn our keep at Wanstead Community House Association. This is our regular home and in return for free lodging we do tasks around the house to keep things spic and span. With the recent rain and wind, the gardens were looking a little unloved, so it was down to the team to sweep things up and make the place look beautiful again.

As is the GG way, the team got to work and within 40 minutes the grounds were transformed and almost half a large wheelie bin was full with leaf fall and rubbish. All this left was a pleasant run around Eagle Pond. Even better our efforts were rewarded with a stunning sunset.

Well done to Will for joining on our first task. Hope to see you again soon!
