We Got (Dire) Strait To It!

Camden Report written by Alex Murtough (he/him)

I have been scrolling back through the GoodGym guidance.

Become an expert at speed scanning. Through PowerPoints and PDFs, even the odd hard copy document too. My eyes are hurting and my heart is racing. I've had 17 coffees but I think - finally - I must now give up.

I sullenly have to confirm this news.

GoodGym doesn't have any guidance on Borough Theme Tunes...

...but that doesn't mean we can't create some!!

Our wonderful core Camden group of Jackie, John, and Steve had a significant task ahead of us when we arrived at the American International Church last night. We were back to help out at the AIC to set up their winter shelter, which they run from November to March every year.

Between the 4 of us, we had to: a. sweep the large hall ready for the shelter; b. bring in, assemble, and dress 13 beds in the large hall; and c. do the same for 2 beds in the smaller side room.

We'd been moving and working for perhaps 75 seconds before Steve opened Spotify... searched for the music that seems to have accompanied our volunteering for a little while now... and hit play on Dire Straits!

We chatted and worked for 40 minutes, before packing away and looking ahead to next week and our final time at the AIC this season.

Thanks, all, for your work and for a wonderful evening :)

If Dire Straits are our theme tune, I'm defecting to GreenGym

Getting Back To Our Roots

Camden Report written by John Shirley

This week at Castlehaven's Elm Haven garden, we removed tiny trees from the planters, preventing them growing into big trees and stifling the growth of fruit and vegetables, making sure we got them out by the roots.

How to Make a GoodGym Bed

Camden Report written by Steve Murtough (he/him)

The below standard operating procedure was followed on Wednesday 6th March (evening) by some good people in the Camden area.

  1. Arrive outside the Francis Crick Institute at 6:15pm.
  2. Wait for Alex to appear dressed in red. He will tell you about GoodGym; a charity made for fitness and volunteering enthusiasts.
  3. Say your name and number (meaning: your position in the circle; please do not give out your personal mobile number).
  4. Alex will lead you into the bright night. Get lost in socialising chitchat.
  5. Suddenly, you will be outside the American International Church on Tottenham Court Road.
  6. Enter the church and head downstairs. Fold-up beds leaning against walls will be magically waiting for you.
  7. Unfold a bed by unclipping a small plastic fastening and be wary of the bed’s desire to fold back up.
  8. Place the plastic fastening in a purpose-made jug.
  9. Tuck a sheet onto a bed and chat to other people in red T-shirts about fitness and volunteering.
  10. Dance to Dire Straits.
  11. Invert a duvet cover and place it entirely over your head.
  12. Explore through touch the mysterious corners of the duvet.
  13. Listen to the guitar solo in Sultans of Swing.
  14. Fling the duvet cover forward and hope for the best.
  15. Once all beds are completed in the above style, go to the stage area of the church, which is found through a secret door, and set up another bed while admiring the theatrical set up in the room.
  16. Try and guess which show it is.
  17. Take a photo of all the people in red T-shirts without making it very blurry.
  18. Head back into the bright night, very proud and very happy.

Sage advice

Camden Report written by John Shirley

Following advice from Phil from Caversham Community Centre, Maria planted rosemary, sage and bay leaves, then we all helped shovel composted soil into the new planter we helped erect last week.
