Park-tastic Adventure at picnic-ity

Ealing Report written by Madhan

It's second picnic in GoodGym Ealing edition

Madhan was the first to arrive. Steph soon followed and when we were having a chat, Divya cycled his way to the location. After Claire arrived, we opened the snacks and put them on a party table cloth and the setup brought the picnic mood.

Little by little we can hear the sounds of wrappers being torn. Kash and Sevan arrived with a two big packs of Athletic Brewing alcohol-free beer which topped up the two packs which Madhan already brought as well.

Thanks to Claire who read the message in the group chat from Alex saying that the location sharing has turned off and shared her the location again. The last time we saw Alex was during the Jenny's 500 and leaving do celebration. She handed over the GoodGym flag to Kash

Milly and Mike came prepared with blankets.

Name other animal that's baby name ends with ling

Claire spotted a duck near the pond and we had a discussion around whether it is duck or goose. She was explaining it as baby duck. Milly pulled up the internet and we had a trivia of animal names and their baby names. Can you guess some of them below?

  • Duck - Duckling
  • Bat - ?
  • Shark - ?
  • Kangaroo - ?
  • Ant - ?
  • Pig - ?
  • Goat - ?

Können Sie deutsch

After that some of us had a go at expressing their German language skills. We also learnt the meaning of picnic in French. Overall it was a filling picnic. We'll come up with another social next month.

The red, red GoodGym goes shove, shove, shovelling along

Ealing Report written by Harvey Gallagher (he/him)

This was our second week of shifting woodchip to cover the paths and clearings in the beautiful Community Orchard where mud can set in. We don't need to spread the woodchip - there are a whole bunch of young people who visit and take on that task!

There were supposed to be five of us on duty tonight to help out at the Community Orchard. In fact, a special guest joined us for most of the task - a robin! They brought some friends with them, though this one in particular (I think!) hung around with us for most of the session.

One of the best things about GoodGym is that chat. And we chatted. And chatted. When you chat, the time just flies by, and it did.

Jenni crowns her bitter sweet 500th good deed

Ealing Report written by Harvey Gallagher (he/him)

The orchard is a really nice space, away from the hustle and bustle of Ealing Broadway. It's well used by young people and the community. Tonight we put our backs into transporting wood chip from outside the orchard, via shovels and wheelbarrows, into the space to help dry up the muddy patches.

This was a special space for a special occasion - the celebration of Jenni's 500th good deed - yes, that's right, 500 good deeds! Jen is truly the Queen of GoodGym Ealing. And she was straight on the case ordering her crown-encrusted 500 GoodGym t-shirt.

But this was also a celebration tinged with some sadness. Jenni is moving out of the area. We can't tell you how much we'll miss her - she's one of our own. Timing her 500th good deed with her her leaving party was a logistical masterpiece for which we can only congratulate Jenni once again! She promised to visit soon and we'll hold her to that.

Lightbulb Moment

Ealing Report written by Sevan

8 GoodGymers met in South Acton to transform flower beds as part of the Acton Flower Show. Alex arrived first at Culivate's site to unlock the door to the treasure trove of plants and equipment that would be used to transform the beds. Others arrived soon after with Emily and Cam walking, Kash, Harvey and Sevan running from Bodyline, then Lionel and Divya arriving by bike.

Two wheelbarrows were loaded with bulbs including lots of hyacinths, a selection of hole making tools and a litter picker. Once loaded, Harvey lead the way to the flower beds as this was his second visit to the site, so he knew where to take us. We soon arrived at our destination, 6 flower beds in a pedestrian walkway with residential South Acton at one end and industrial South Acton at the other.

The budding garden designers split into 2 groups, vying for top prize in the Most Beautify Hyacinth Display contest. Team Classicist went for a geometric approach, not able to deal with the disorder of planting bulbs randomly they planted in rows. Team Renegade on the other hand went for a random, scattergun approach, embracing the chaos that exists in nature which isn't planned or designed.

Each team had 45 minutes to design and plant their gardens. Overseeing both teams, Kash made sure there wasn't any funny business going on. The rivalry was mostly fair, other than a few bulbs being sneakily offloaded into the other team's pile, giving them extra work to do.

During this time, Sevan hadn't been granted membership of either team, so he busied himself with other tasks like litter picking (mostly cigarette butts) and hammering the Cultivate stake into the ground to advertise their involvement at the flower beds.

The planting finished just as the darkness was descending. With the last bulb put into the soil, the portable lights came out. They weren't needed to shed light onto the GoodGymers' work but they were perfect for setting up and taking the group photo.

Judging will happen in 3 months time, when we'll know if chaos or order has won the day and will take home the winner's medal.
