Spouting Off And Hosing The New Guy

8 sun-kissed Goodgymmers spread some good vibes and water across green fields in North London as they lent a hand to the Friends of Lordship Rec.

Kudos corner

Francesco absolutely veni vidi vici-ed his first ever task with Goodgym and smashed it right out of the park. He loved it so much, he's already signed up for two tasks next week. A natural. Boom!

And thanks to Niamh for today's pun title and to Sarah for the one below. Rock stars.

Water way to spend a summer evening

Is there anything more quintessentially Goodgymy than hanging out with some lovely folk in red - glistening in the glow of post-run perspiration and bonhomie - on a beautifully green park in a glorious summer evening as you chew the fat and water some thirsty trees in the middle of a British heatwave? Bliss.

We met Chuku from the Friends Lordship Rec last night who wasted no time in being absolutely charming and putting us to work straight away.

Some youngling trees and a large flowerbed were looking a little worse for wear in the hot weather so our help was needed. Armed with bottles, watering cans, and a really big bucket we spent a good 45 minutes making sure the cute saplings had a good drink. It was hot and heavy work but our Goodgymmers loved every second. We did such a good job we ran the allotment water reserves dry! #SorryNotSorry

Along the way, an unnamed Goodgymmer (who we Khan't name for legal reasons) decided to haze by way of initiation our Francesco by giving us all a good soaking. Under the blistering North London sun, the woman-made drizzle was a welcome relief.

Dave, Sam, and Nurjehan also managed to pack a good litter pick along the way and there were some shenanigans with some discarded tights but I reckon that's one we'll keep off print, again for legal reasons or something.

We then helped Chuku put away the tools we used and headed to the skatepark in the Rec for some selfies.

A lovely, quintessentially Goodgymy night indeed.

And there will be another one next week with not ONE but TWO tasks. Join us!
