We gathered at Glass Mill with the excitement of clearing the basement at Lewisham Unity building, nearly the same level of excitement as when we cleared the basement at Seniors!! After a quick warm up we were on our way to Lewisham Unity, it's a long straight run, there's is an option to go through Ladywell Fields but it adds on a bit of distance.

We made it past all the kebab shops making us feel hungry to find there was a meditation session happening and we wouldn't be clearing the basement...but there were lots of leaves to clear in the garden.

Not to be deterred by the change in task, the team got stuck in and soon there were bags and bags full of leaves! And also sticks neatly piled next to the skip.

Great work everyone, especially with a change of task!

Yes, its another Musically-inspired GoodGym report...🎼"But Goodgymers are all around me & so the good deeds grow... 🙂"

The last Wednesday of the January Challenge dawned like the recent pink skies over the Charlton area, and 11 Goodgym-ers awoke to pass the time until tonight's task. 🎼Workin 9-5 helped with that, and soon 6.45 rolled around, time to 🎼Run the World...or at least to St Richard's Community Church in Charlton. Our task this evening was based in the back garden area of the church, continuing our valiant battle against the ever-present weeds in the area. All while trying not to get 🎼Blinded by the Light (of the many head-torches). The recent rain had helped soften the ground a little, making pulling up the weeds that bit easier, and it wasn't long before we had a veritable stack of vegetation. A quick dig over with the 🎼Ace of Spades and our work was done.

Great work all & a warm welcome to Alina on your first task!

Next week we're meeting at Charlton House for some weeding at Charlton URC.. On Saturday as well as the ususal Parkrun volunteering, we have litter picking in Sutcliffe Park.

Until next time!
