Cèilidh on regardless!

11 GoodGym Camdeners headed out on a lovely sunny evening to help out at Cecil Sharp House last night

It was Federica's first Wednesday night group run after her first community mission on Sunday, so make sure to go over and give her some cheers. I hope you enjoyed the task and see you on another task soon! It was also Suraj's 100th Good Deed! HUGE congratulations Suraj. What an achievement - go and give him a cheer.

After a quick chat and warmup, Steve and [] led the group, with Freya and I being the back markers. The cycle up from Oval was particularly long (and even longer for Freya, from Dulwich!) on the night so our pace was much more casual.

Arriving and meeting Susannah, our work was cut out for us. Nearly 5 months of leaves, growing hops (yes, the ones that you need in the beer making process!) and vines across the back steps, gutters completely full of mud and leaves, and weeds that had sprouted up everywhere. We got to work and were able to make a lot of headway in the 40 minutes we were there - every time Susannah came back to an area there'd be a 'Wow!' or two!

Just gone 8pm, we started to wind down and pack up after making considerable headway in taming the jungle that the gardens had become. Next week we'll be back - in true Arnie style - to finish what we started.

It's also my last group run with you for 2 months as I'm off to Denmark with work until the end of September! Sign up here if you'd like to come along. We're back to slightly larger group runs now, so there are 12 places available.

Hope to see you there!

COMMUNITY, COMMUNITY, COMMUNITY: We've got another session back at St Johns Church in Upper Holloway this Sunday evening, 5pm-6:30pm. Here's the link if you'd like to come and join us. There might be a chocolate twist in it for you, if you're lucky!
