Five of us gathered on a rainy January evening at Old Spike—those brave enough to face the weather. We were delighted to welcome Charlotte, who was new to Southwark GG but already a seasoned GoodGymer. We set off on a 3k run through the rain to the Old Alleynian Rugby Club, where Ian was waiting for us.

Thoughtfully, he had found us a sheltered task: giving the clubhouse windows a much-needed clean. After our hard work, we were rewarded with delicious homemade brownies baked by Ian’s wife—a perfect treat!

Feeling accomplished and well-fed, we ran back to Old Spike, spirits high despite the rain.

Or more like cutting up sleeves as we each cut off our preferred piece of the jumper for cleaning the windows with!

A mighty group of dedicated GoodGymers who weren't phased by the rain made their way to Senior's ready to tackle the sellotape on and around the windows.

It worked out at about a large window each and armed with window cleaning spray, WD40 and clothes, we got stuck in!

There were various techniques happening but we were making progress. Being dark outside the smears started showing and it became a task in itself to try and remove them. There were multiple methods deployed including a fresh spray of window cleaner followed by paper towels and very very very precise cleaning so the smears will definitely be uniform if not removed.

I hope the results are sparkling when the sun comes up this morning!

Great work team!!
