Tower Hamlets Report written by John Shirley
So I had loads of GoodGym leaflets, inherited from our former guru Laura, that were burning a hole in my pocket. Ot at least, filling a drawer in my desk. A better place for these was surely on local people’s doormat, to let more people know of the joys of GoodGym. We also had something to do after ParkRun and coffee
We were in good spirits having already recruited a new person at that very ParkRun and coffee session. And Sam took the opportunity to promote his https://legstumsruns.com/ fitness sessions with leaflets of his own
I’d spotted a number of streets behind Stepney Green station with individual front doors all along – none of those hard-to-penetrate tower blocks. The letter boxes, however were varied – some had brushes inside which made it an effort to force leaflets through; while others had a pleasing swing to them, making delivery far easier
By the time we’d finished, we’d covered about eight streets and a square, making sure everyone in the area was aware of GoodGym. Meanwhile, we couldn’t help but be aware of a local dog-walking organisation, who’s leafletters had been there ahead of us but seemingly couldn’t be bothered actually pushing the adverts through the letterboxes

We had a lovely evening in the garden at Cressfield Close, helping tidy up their communal garden. While Steph, John, and Ariane got on with a very methodical bit of path clearing, Jackie went into action hero mode, pruning back an overgrown hedge that needed beating into shape. Our host, Marie, took vary good care of us in the heat, keeping us watered as well as the plants!
We got a very special treat treat from the residents, who didn't want team GoodGym to miss out on the eclipse. When the moon was in a good position, we were called up to the top floor, where a series of window slats provided an excellent reflection of the sun that could be viewed safely.
After a final sweep and tidy up, we said our goodbyes. We've been invited back for next month, so keep an eye out for the next task!
