Feel like you need to get up and get away from your desk after a tough work day? Feel like you need to get outside to beat that 'change of season' feeling? Or do you need a little reason to get moving just a little bit more? Maybe you want to learn a bit more about which shops, new martial arts places, bars and restaurants are in your local area? Need someone to run your Halloween costume idea by? the answer to all of these is on the little postcards we stuck up on noticeboards and on counters in local businesses this evening - Goodgym on a Monday night!

Six of us headed around Penge to start, and then a few other places on each of our routes home, spreading to GoodGym Word.

Sorry about the terrible photography on my part...

Thanks all for turning out - we'll get a good few new faces from this I'm sure :)

Tonight's task was an unusual one - attaching lovely giant poppies to lampposts in Penge, for the upcoming Remembrance Day. The poppies will actually be up from today til mid November when we have a mirror task to take them down - so a full month to have those lovely colourful flowers up as a reminder of those who gave so much.

We split into two mini-teams and each took one side of the high street, attaching poppies as we walked, from the Bridge House up to Kent House Road. It seemed like there were a lot more lampposts on one side of the road, so James and I felt a bot like we were cheating when we moved ahead of our opposite team - and crossed back at the end to add a couple and meet them on the way back. All in all once we got the hang of the cable ties, a sweet task. And someone even approached us to ask if we had a collection tin with us. Aren't people nice!
