Don't Go Raking My Grass

Lambeth Report written by Mark Gilyead (he/him)

Massive welcome to Celia, Tim and Marina for joining us for their first GoodGym run. Ace to have you guys along!

Tonight we had two run options to two of our regular tasks; The Portico Gallery and Ruskin Park Community Garden.

Half of us took a leisurely 2k jog to Ruskin Park, where Justin and Huseyin greeted us and armed us with equipment to help with a few jobs:

  • De-weeding a bed of lettuce and onions ๐ŸŒฑ

  • Sawing/breaking branches into firewood ๐ŸŒฒ

  • Raking up a load of grass cuttings ๐ŸŒพ

LETTUCE BEGIN ๐Ÿฅฌ

We cracked on, switching up who was doing each task but Michael staying strong on the sawing throughout! And todayโ€™s task was an absolute treat with most of us taking home some onions and lettuce from the vegetable patch!

ON(ION)REAL

Once we were done, Freya treated us to one of her Drama games in the park - a game of jumping tag but where you can only jump when the person(s) who are โ€˜itโ€™ jump. Obviously in full GoodGym-style we added a mean muscle testing twist - remaining in a squat position the whole time.

It was a fun one and definitely a serious thigh burner! ๐Ÿ”ฅ


Nicky led the other half of the group up the hill to the Portico Gallery where John had a few simple jobs of some table stacking, tarpaulin folding and rubbish removal which everyone got done in time for a fitness sesh in Brockwell Park! Thanks to our John for leading that ๐Ÿ‘Œ

Awesome work everyone!

Next week weโ€™ve got another couple of tasks: creating a human conveyor belt for some bags of soil with Urban Growth or you can stick around and (hopefully!) paint the bench at PAPAโ€™s Park. Sign up here.

WEED ALL ABOUT IT: Kennington (hopefully) wins Britain in Bloom!

Lambeth Report written by Mark Gilyead (he/him)

Bloomin' 'eck

What a muggy evening for a run - Big up newbies Thea, Maddie, Juliette and Louisa for joining us!

And talking of mugs - Congratulations to Tim Wheatley for winning our SPOTM, which included a mug! Tim is not a mug. In fact he's been smashing out missions, group runs, temporary tattoo illustrations and many other artistic GoodGym-related things, so our collection of mug, vanity kit, hip phone holder thing, coaster and bottle were very well deserved.

Nice one Tim!

This week we were heading off to Kennington Park, a lush green space near Oval, to help them with a multitude of jobs ahead of an inspection they've got tomorrow for Britain in Bloom. Nicky led a group on a 5k long route while the rest of us went the direct 3k.

When we arrived, Marietta showed us the huge pile of equipment they had and gave us the lowdown on what we needed to do:

๐ŸŒฑ Bindweed removal

๐Ÿฅ€ Dead-heading roses

๐Ÿ‚ Getting the leaves off the shelter

๐Ÿ—‘ Litterpicking

๐ŸŒณ Hedge Trimming

We found that bindweed is a sneaky plant that gets everywhere. We discovered many undesirable items whilst litterpicking. And we have some quality topiarists in the Lambeth ranks!

Having collected up some huge bags of leaves and weeds, it was time for us to leave. Marietta was super grateful and said they'd have enough time to finish the last few bits ahead of the inspection on Thursday.

Some of us decided that we weren't sweaty enough already so squeezed in some fartlek on the way back whilst others were far more sensible in taking a leisurely jog!

Awesome work GoodGym Lambeth

Next week we've got a couple of options - Portico or Ruskin Park and don't forget to sign up for our community mission helping set up Stockwell Festival on Sat 6th July.
