Lambeth Report written by Yianny (he / him)
The core Lambeth team was back in action last night as we had a last minute call for help from the Friends of Loughborough Park and Farm.
AA Yianny met with returning Task Force legend Katie, Mark and Tilly at Papa's in advance of heading over to the arches at Loughborough Junction.
Everything was coming up roses, having Katie back after a while away, Tilly bringing some very positive news, Mark keeping up his streak, the sun and blue sky above our heads making this the official start of GoodGym Spring!
We set a very good pace and within 10 minutes were over at the arches 1.5kms away where Heather was ready to meet us. We were also joined by Jo coming straight from work - great effort Jo!
Our task was a simple one, to move all the planks from under the arches over to the pallets on the other side of the site and once we were joined by the rest of the FoLP team including Karen and Alice things could really get moving. Looking at the pile there was probably in excess of 250 boards but the team made light work of it, carrying singles, doubles, triples, quads and even eight a time on the trolley!
We then wrapped the session (literally) by placing the tarps over the pile to protect them from the elements and then it was time to head back to base.
We had time on the way back to discuss GoodGym Lambeth book club and a general love-in for the works of Murakami and of course the GG London social this Thursday - check out the link below and hope to see lots of you there :0) https://www.goodgym.org/happenings/gg-london-monthly-social
Thanks everyone and see you next week!

Lambeth Report written by Yianny (he / him)
What a night last night! It was AA Yianny's first run back and there was no end to the surprises and challenges - but more on that in a second.
We had special visitors from our friends at Southwark GG (some cynical people would say they are just trying to boost numbers for the Jan Challenge but i know that they missed us that's all ;0)) so great to have Sam and Maria with us!
The evening began with AA being stuck on a call for emergency flights for his day job so the introduction and category section was conducted with gentle 'hold' music in the background! Anyway after going through our favourite rare animal types (panda ants - who knew?!) we were ready to set off on a quick lap (sans AA) before coning back to pick up gloves and black bags.
LPB is a simple but fun task for GG Lambeth - collect as many items of rubbish from the list and help tidy up the local streets. We divided into two teams with Southwark pair facing off against Lambeth legends Katie, Fi and Michael.
Each team had 35 mins and a handful of bin bags to compete for the title of Jan Litter Champion. And the winners were.... Lambeth legends!
It was a tight decision but LL gathered one or two more items and also found a piece if a car (full size car not toy!) vs a baby's dummy.
Well done to all for coming out in the freezing temperatures and see you next week!
