On a bitterly cold night at the Phoenix Cinema, our GoodGym team gathered with unwavering commitment. The plan to spread woodchip at Martin Primary School's faced a hiccup—the supplies were nowhere in sight. Undeterred, we embraced Plan B with the same enthusiasm.

Wearing layers upon layers to fend off the biting cold, our resilient crew took to the High Street for a plogging raid. Armed with bags and pickers, we transformed into a team on a mission. Chatting echoed through the chilly air as we scoured the streets, filling five big bags with the remnants of urban life.

In the midst of our litter-picking quest, we stumbled upon a noteworthy find—a wheel hub lying in a Cycle Lane. A small victory, yet a symbol of the impact we were making in creating a cleaner and safer environment for everyone.

As our successful mission concluded, we retreated to the warmth of the Phoenix Cinema. Inside, we carried out our traditional warm-down and stretches, fostering not only a cleaner community but also strengthening the social bonds that define our GoodGym adventures.

Big shout out to John who had to walk.

Katy on her first visit to Goodgym Barnet. We hope to see you soon!
