Last night we were a merry crew running and walking to the lovely Bridge Community Centre. Those of us who met for the run shared the things that we could do a 20 minute presentation on without preparation. Answers ranged from cooking to science to Arthur, Parkrun, something on AI and space!

We welcomed Niki for her first task with us - lovely to have you and hope to see lot more of you Niki! At the Bridge, the birthday boy had already arrived along with the rest of the team who had emptied the container and our job was to sweep up and put everything back in a more organised fashion. Off we got to task and a short while later the container was looking much tidier and we've got the photos to prove it! Since we finished early we had plenty of time to find a pub to celebrate JC's birthday which was harder than envisioned- the first one had a gig on and the second had a pub quiz and the lucky third was what we went for (cheapest pub crawl we ever did!)

We'll be back at the Bridge in July to help move items before some improvement works they're having in the main building.

This weekend we have:

• plating at Myceane

• planting sunflowers in Sutcliffe park

• the Woolwich common litter pick.

Next Wednesday we're at Prince Philip Maritime Collections Centre.

Until next time! 😁

Last night we met at Charlton house for a warm up and the heady prospect of finishing our task in the light! 🎉

The ice breaker involved sharing our phobias which ranged from belly buttons, to snakes, flying and fingers near eyeballs (eugh). Luckily none of the phobias were encountered on our run through Charlton Park down to the lovely Charlton Manor Primary School.

Here we were reunited with GoodGymers who met at the task and with Michael who was armed with brushes galore, paint, wet wipes and gardening tools. The task was to paint the kitchen and fences in the nursery area and get rid of all the pesky alkanet. We got to it, and many hands make for light painting so after fourty minutes we had a large section complete and lots of weeds in the bin. Excellent job team!

After a quick intervals session in a triangle round the school we stretched and headed home. A lovely evening with a lovely bunch, thank you all 😊

On Saturday we're helping at the Pet Cemetery in Hornfair Park and next Wednesday we're sorting at the Bridge Community centre.

Until next time 👋🏼
