We met at old spike and ran over to meet Ian at the Old Alleynian Rugby Club on a beautiful clear evening. Six of us got to work clearing the entrance to the club and the driveway. We cut back and raked away the nettles. It was a satisfying task! We had some delicious ginger biscuits as a treat at the end before running back.

We met up at Old Spike on a chilly January evening, which was a nice way to kick things off after the Christmas break. After a quick warm-up, we headed up to Telegraph Hill and the Christmas tree graveyard.

We split into two teams, led by Lindy and Paulin, and set about collecting abandoned Christmas trees. Between us we managed to pick up a brilliant 12 trees in total. It ended in a draw, so the Percy Pigs prize was shared out all round.

The run back down the hill was much easier, and once we were back at Old Spike we wrapped things up with a cool-down.

Today 9 Goodgymmers went to help out at TRAID on Rye Lane to help out. They were finished with their autumn season and will do a full restock tomorrow. We took all the old clothes off their hangers and bundled everything into big boxes ready to be shipped off. There was even time at the end to do some cleaning up. Andrada and David shared the hoovering and then we were finished. Anca from TRAID send us home with chocolates. Great job everyone! We will be back in January.
