Goodgym Ealing Social: Rounders on Ealing Common
Sunnier times are coming and we would love to have as many as possible join us for a friendly game of rounders- all abilities welcome. We will have a slightly earlier session beforehand so we can catch the daylight.
Everyone welcome! Outdoors so good for anyone still not sure about indoor venues.
Please bring your own snacks, drinks and or beers and nibbles and let us know if you have an allergy so we can share this with other attendees when they buy their bits! We can have a sharing picnic or you can keep to yourself, totally up to you!!
Harvey will bring along some cones and equipment for the rounders set up, just bring yourselves!
Spread the word and see you soon

Group run to help young trees along the canal continue to thrive!
Tonight we'll be lending the The William Hobbayne Charity a hand maintaining land near the canal where new trees were planted a few years ago.
This task helps to protect the saplings that have been planted along the canal under the trees for cities campaign. Cutting back the overgrowth around the young trees will give them space to thrive for years to come!
As well as helping a community project you'll also get a lovely run through some green spaces and head into the evening having helped out and got some exercise too, all the good stuff!
What to bring:
- Gloves - the gardening kind if you have them!
- Water - it could be thirsty work
- Only bring what you can run with - there will NOT be a bag drop at the start
The Run:
- The run will be 2 miles each way
- All paces will be catered for and we'll have a back marker
- If you only want to run one way that's cool, just let us know below in the comments below
- If running isn't your thing but you want to get involved you can meet us at the task at 7:10pm instead - Here's the address for The William Hobbayne Centre in Google Maps - Again comment below if you're meeting there

Easy run, easy pick, easy stretch, easy like Tuesday evening
After a weekend of the Hanwell Hootie, it was a nice evening to get out in the park with the brilliant GoodGym Ealing gang, what a nice bunch they are! And lovely to welcome Harish in his first week as a GoodGymer. The litter haul was modest, to be honest, and we were surprised by how few discarded masks there were! But we did find some trousers and someone's school note, so all was not lost! The litter pick was sandwiched between an easy run and a bit of stretching before we toddled off home for our dinner!

Litter pick-pick-picking in Elthorne Park
We're off for one of our regular litter picks, doing what we do so well!
6.30pm: just before we pick, we'll squeeze in a warm-up and easy run around the park. This part is optional, but if you fancy it, come to the entrance to Elthorne Park on Boston Road.
7.00pm: we'll meet back at the entrance to Elthorne Park to dish out the litter pickers/bin bags for a clean-up session! Then we'll do a bit of gentle stretching. You'll be improving the park and getting healthy at the same time.
Bring gardening or work gloves if you have them. And let us know in the comments below if you're meeting at 6.30 for the run or 7.00 for the litter pick.

Liv a little
On a mild spring evening, GoodGymers from far and wide descended on Walpole Park in Ealing. Our mission, to shovel woodchip, mulch beds and celebrate Liv's last task as our great leader!
Tonight we welcomed Branwen to the group for her first GoodGym session. She was great and instantly felt like she's been a member of the group for years!
After some silly warm up games and a little run and walk through Ealing's finest green spaces we soon had shovels in hand and wheelbarrows at the ready. We tackled the task in two group on opposite sides of the park.
Adam said the night had 'top bantz!' what more could we ask for?!
Milly was having so much fun dancing around between shoveling that she fell down the mulch heap. Even topper bantz!
The task flew by and before we knew it Liv was subjecting us to her last fitness session which of course finished with Sally Squats!
We ended up in Brewdog to share food, drink and memories. The best of bantz!
Thanks Liv, we’ll miss you very mulch!

Last push to get ready for this year's Hanwell Hootie!
This week we’ve been asked to help with the last bits and pieces for this year’s Hanwell Hootie!
We’ll meet at Hanwell Community Centre at 7pm to help with packing up props, last minute crafting and painting and generally just getting stuck in with whatever we can help with!
Expect to be lifting and shifting and working as a team to get everything ready!
Meet at the bottom of the driveway outside the gates to the centre
We also have an option to go for a run just beforehand so if you fancy that meet at 6:30pm instead - it’ll be a 3-4km route suitable for all paces, even if you’re just starting out run/walking.

Group run and walk to help with mulching in Walpole Park - Liv's last GoodGym!
This week we'll be meeting at 6:45pm at Bodyline Studios to go for a group run or walk to help with a lots of physical outdoor tasks in Walpole Park!
The Task:
Think pushing barrows of mulch around, digging, and shifting lots of woodchip. It'll be a great workout for sure! Please bring gloves if you have them otherwise all tools will be provided.
The Run/Walk:
The run/walk will be suitable for all abilities, we'll do a longer route around the parks for those who are up for it and a shorter walking option too. Basically, if you want to run or walk at whatever pace you'll be catered for!
Fitness session:
We'll also sneak in a little fitness session after the task, it'll be a quick 10 minute blast leaving us well and truly glowing for the evening!
Liv's Final GoodGym!
I have spent 5 wonderful years leading GoodGym in Ealing but the time has come for me to hang up my trainers and lead GoodGym for the final time! I'm not going anywhere and will definitely still be involved but this will be the last session I lead as the Trainer for GoodGym and would love to see as many of you there as possible. We'll be going to the pub afterwards so please do come along for a drink too.
Sign up for the pub after here - we've booked a table so it would be good to know numbers!
