We headed out in dry, crisp conditions to help Tom from Lambeth Parks finish what we started at St Matthew's Peace Garden. Peace, quiet and a LOT of weeds. ๐ฑ
The task was simple: edging, scraping and bagging up the grass and weeds from the paving. This time we had ALL the tools, including half moon edgers, shovels and brooms, while Adam turned up tooled up with hand edging tools. ๐ ๏ธ Absolute edge lord. ๐ฅณ
Ben, Katie, Tilly, Jo, Adam, Rich and Nicole (who may or may not have joined the task on her broom and made it a full bouquet of volunteers ๐) really did dig deep, and we left the paving looking so sharp it could cut. Nothing was left to chance, or to moss. ๐ฑ
A lovely evening for a run, with fun friends to share it with. Tilly brought baked goods to console our AA, who lost his namesake in Bake Off. Incredible as ever, Tilly, you absolute whisk-taker. ๐ง Another great task well done! ๐งฐโค๏ธ
It was also the end of month social, and we put our pub quiz winnings (a voucher, no less) to good use with a karaoke night. ๐ค RJ made his debut in his shiny new GG shirt, looking fresh off the press and ready to belt out a few tunes. ๐โจ What happens at karaoke stays at karaokeโฆ ๐ but wonderful scenes were had. ๐คฉ๐พ
Until next time, GoodGym Lambeth: thyme to go and lawn-ch ourselves into the next task! ๐ช๐ผ

We headed out in a light drizzle with our friends from Holy Trinity, and it turned into one of our longer runs as darkness fell. ๐ Nobody was dampened (spirits, that is). ๐ฆ
Tonight was prep for our screening of the People's Emergency Briefing in a few weeks' time. We pounded the pavements and flyered the neighbourhood to get locals excited and signed up. Honestly, we really did leaflet it all out there! ๐ฅณ๐
Tonight's flyers-in-chief: Ben, Tilly, Jo, RJ, Fi, Adam and Nicole ๐โโ๏ธ๐๐พโโ๏ธ๐ช๐ผ
A lovely evening for a run, fun friends to share it with, and Tilly's baking (incredible as ever ๐ฐ) gave us a post-run treat to cake home... Another great task well done! ๐งฐโค๏ธ
See you at the next one (it's the social btw!). Bring a brolly... or just embrace the drizzle! โ

We were due to help our friends at GROAD get their new venue ready at GreenWorks ๐ ๏ธ. But Andrea got held up at their storage facility, so all we could manage was a spot of weeding outside. ๐ฟ๐
But as GGers, when life gives you lemons ๐... we head to the pub(for grown up lemonade)! The group finished early and made it to the social double quick, where Ben (despite his jet lag โ๏ธ๐ด) had organised a quiz for us. It was a quizzical turn of events, but a wonderfully fun one!
GG Lambeth showed its competitive side (well, some of us did ๐), and our two teams took 1st ๐ฅ and 3rd ๐ฅ on the podium!! ๐ฅณ Clearly we're as sharp with our brains as we are with our trowels ๐ง
Join us next month at the social, when we'll be spending our winnings ๐ฐ and making full use of the karaoke facilities ๐ฑ๐ค๐๏ธ You have been warned!
A lovely evening, fun friends to share it with and another great task well done(ish)! ๐งฐโค๏ธ
Who was there: RJ ๐, Amona ๐, Yianny, Katie, Lucy, Tilly, Jo, Fi, Adam and Rich ๐ช๐ผ
๐ = welcome to your first GoodGym session RJ & Amona we were delighted to have you with us, you rooted for us and it bloomed into a great night! ๐ธ๐ฅฐ

Another cracking Lambeth GoodGym outing in the books! ๐
We rolled back up to help Tom and the Lambeth Parks crew tackle the edging and clearing at St Matthew's Peace Garden ๐ช โ and honestly, if you haven't seen this place, get down there, it's an absolute stunner.
Yianny, Michael, Jo, Adam and Nicole got stuck in and we filled that two-tonne bag right to the brim(ish)... and STILL had work spare. So, in the immortal words of a certain Austrian action hero: "We'll be back." ๐ฆพ
Huge congrats to Nicole for smashing her 10th good deed! ๐๐ Double digits and still going strong โ the good deeds just keep on coming.
Massive welcome back to Tilly, freshly returned from her wedding! ๐ฅฐ๐ We even had the pleasure of meeting the new hubby, and she rocked up with home-baked treats to celebrate โ and officially kick off the Lambeth Bake Off sweepstakes ๐ฐ๐ (early odds are already fierce).
A gorgeous evening, great company, and another job well done. Another one bites the... weed. ๐งฐโค๏ธ

What a session, Lambeth! ๐ช๐ผ
We linked back up with Tom from Lambeth Council to give Windrush Square and the area around Brixton Library some serious TLC โ sweeping, weeding, and tidying our way to a cleaner, greener corner of Brixton. Turns out you can build glutes and community spirit at the same time. Who knew?
On the tools tonight:
Ben
Michael
Katie
Tilly
Jo
Dan
Big love to this crew for trading their evening jog for a broom and a bin bag โ proof that GoodGym really is where "leg day" meets "litter day" ๐พ๐ฅฐ
Windrush Square is looking sharper than our running form, and Brixton Library's front bed is finally weed-free (unlike our group chat, which remains a mess (jokes!)). ๐ฑ๐คฉ
Same time next week, legends? See you on the streets โ bring trainers, bring gloves, leave your excuses at home. ๐โ๏ธ๐งก

Not forgetting the wonderful Ainick, who lead the Brixton Library task. ๐๐
