Scoping it out

Camden Report written by Paul Bown

30 Goodgymers ran 6km to help to Scope Charity Shop on Camden High Street

Welcome along to Nicole whose first time it was last night - hope you had a good first GG! Also welcome to the GG Barnet Crew.

It fills me with great sadness to share that a fellow GoodGymer Jenny Spencer-Nairn has passed away, we send all our love and support to GoodGym Bristol, her family and friends. To start the evening we held a minute silence to remember her. RIP.

In the news this week:

  1. Please note we are back meeting at the Living Centre next Wednesday, it's the same building just the other side address here - 2 Ossulston St, Kings Cross, London NW1 1DF
  2. Come along to the social today in Hammersmith - Pritesh will be talking the talk. More details here.
  3. Goodgym is taking over Peckham Rye Parkrun this Saturday - we still need pacers, volunteers and general red tops. Full details here.

Some of the group had a very special Crick Institute Tour - see pictures in the report. Thanks to Abi for organising!

After warming up we were off to help Scope Charity Shop, this fantastic shop sells clothes, accessories and more to help raise money for people with disabilities. We ran just under a mile to get to the shop and to get tasking.

Queue & get your tasks here!

As ever Helen was very organised and had all the jobs written down to be handed out:

  • Six people including Hanry, Thomas, Rosie and Lucy sorted and priced up clothes, jewellery and accessories.
  • CJ and Katherine collected funds for Scope outside the shop - raising an amazing £7.50 between them!
  • Kat, Katie, James, Hayley and others sorted donations; ironed, tagged and hung up clothes ready to be priced up.
  • Steve and Jordi measured and hung trousers.
  • Chris and Tom cleaned and polished shoes before arranging them for display.
  • A team of 10 cleaned every inch of the shop and two floors above, including windows, display cases, stairs, the kitchen and toilet.
  • Frances and Abi set about picking some of the best clothes around the store to dress the mannequins - cool

Over 35 minutes we made a huge impact to our local community. Next we were off to Regents Park Inner Circle for a time trial and a run home.

Next week we'll be leafleting for Older Persons Services in Ashdown Crescent and gardening for Cecil Sharp House - sign up here.

The GGer in the SandTower

Camden Report written by Paul Bown

23 Goodgymers ran 5km and helped Coram Fields with some leaf clearance fun!

Welcome along to Tom and Jordi whose first time it was last night - lovely to have you along!

In the news this week:

  • Katherine hit 50 good deeds! Well done to this wonderful taskforce member and good deeder - thanks to Liz for making the cakes in celebration.
  • Well done to everyone who took part in the East Farm Races at the weekend - good work! Find more races here.
  • September's social - Hamlingslow - is next Thursday in Hammersmith - it's gonna be great - more details here.
  • GoodGym Raceteam are taking part in the London Met Cross Country Season - we'd love you join! You'll need to join the raceteam, see here.
  • Last thing, GoodGym are taking over Peckham Rye Parkrun next Saturday (8th September) to volunteer, pace and generally be #RedThunder. There are pacing slots still free if you are up for it - more details here.

After an early intro and a quick warm up we headed to Coram Fields to make the 19.10 deadline, upon arrival we met Noel (Head Groundsman). He set us to work with clearing the leaves in the Wildlife Reserve (we couldn't go in too deep as the bee's were polluting) and we also concentrated on the quads. This 7-acre community space is a unique oasis in the middle of London, used by children and young people in the local area and visiting in London. The charity really relies on volunteers to survive - making us very important!

Leaf it out!

Using rakes, brooms, scrops and bags we collected up mountains of leaves (filling 7 bags) and clearing up the sandpit area - nice! After the group run we headed to Russell Square for some fitness fun! Set out into three parts:

  1. Conditoning Game (5 sets) - on the minute for the minute - x5 star jumps, x5 press ups, x5 squats and x2 squat jumps!
  2. Progression running - getting faster on each corner of the square.
  3. Relay Time - a close battle of 5 teams of 4 but Pritesh's team won!

After all the evenings excitement we headed to the the pub to eat cake and cheers Katherine's 50th!

Sign up next week here when we'll be sorting donations for Scope Charity Shop.
