World Cup? Rose Bowl!

Islington Report written by Simon Fitzmaurice

This evening, Claire, Katie and Adam joined Area Activator Simon for a run over to wonderful Rose Bowl Youth Centre in Canonbury, taking a spin past Highbury Fields on route. The Rose Bowl is a super active community space, operating as a youth club, social centre, food bank and a recording studio! Upon our arrival, we met with Dawn (the project coordinator) and Natasha and were lead put to the main play area of the youth club.

Our task for the evening was simple, but an important task for active people in greater numbers! Wielding rakes, gloves and plastic grabbers, we sought about collecting as much foliage and fallen leaf waste from the playground as possible, and attempting to compost a good portion of these leaves where possible. The kids in the area play on the football pitch a lot, and it was great know that were making the outdoors more available to them!

We successfully filled up 3 really large builders merchants bags within 30-40 minutes of team work, with was very impressive for our small crew. On our journey back to The Emirates Stadium, we stopped at the "M" entrance gate to host our December "Goodgym Islington Emirates Stadium Time Trial" (last one of the year). Our runners did a smashing job of running the 700m stretch, especially after an evening of hard graft- Well Done All!

Highbury Hub Helpers

Islington Report written by Simon Fitzmaurice

In between sporadic rain showers, Area Activator Simon caught up with a top crew of Goodgymmers (a mix of regulars and new starters- welcome Michelle!) outside the Arsenal Community Hub for our weekly group run. After a count-off to introduce each other (and to show off our favourite firework sounds to celebrate Diwali!), we ran approximately 1 mile together towards Elizabeth House Food Hub on Hurlock Street (utilising some hills on route!).

Upon our arrival, we found that Ernestas, Natalie and Natasha were already helping the super busy food bank crew with their half term operations. Elizabeth House Food Hub has been set up to act like a supermarket of donated produce that can be affordably purchased by the immediate community. During the holidays, more families and individuals require additional assistance with deliveries, so Goodgym Islington were asked whether would lend a hand. Half of our runners paired up together to deliver these essential parcels to households across the borough. The rest of our team assisted with cleaning and closing up the tables used for the food bank, and with loading any additional produce back into the kitchen (after some quality control). We finished off the evening with some recycling, and breaking down food boxes for collection.

The Elizabeth House Food Hub core yeam were absolutely thrilled with the amount of work completed within such a short amount of time, and asked is to definitely return in the future! Well done all!

Our final event of the night was the introduction of our monthly "Emirates Stadium Time Trial"- a personal test run with your fellow Goodgymmers to see how quickly we can run the 700m loop of the Emirates Concourse. It was so great to bring back this "Paul Bown" tradition to Goodgym Islington again.

Caledonian Park Junior parkrun Half Term Holiday Help

On Sunday 30th November, the lovely event directors of junior parkrun in Caledonian Park have asked if any of our Goodgym crew would be available to help with course marshalling, time keeping, tail walking or barcode scanning for their free weekly timed run for 4-14 year old runners. Volunteer numbers from parents and usual assistants tend to be down due to the half term break, so any help would be awesome!
