Hello GoodGymmers! 👋🏼

This week's task was a little different. Yianny, Tilly, Fi, Adam, Nicole and Amona braved the rain 🌧️ to run (or walk!) to Holy Trinity and get everything ready for next week's People's Emergency Briefing screening and event. 🎬🌍

Not much heavy lifting this time, but it was a proper mental workout! 🧠 Between the soggy feet 🧦💦 and the real chill in the air 🥶, we needed every last cuppa ☕ and cookie 🍪 to power through. Fuelled by biscuits, we didn't crumble under pressure. 😂

The result? We're locked and loaded for next week, with a real chance to make a big difference for collective action on climate change locally. 🙌🏼🌱 Seems the forecast for next week is looking bright, even if this week's was a total washout! ☀️

Huge thanks to everyone for turning up, getting drenched and still smiling. You're all un-brolly-vable! 💪🏼🥰

See you at the next one! 🏃🏽‍♀️🍾

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. 🌱

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. 🛠️ Absolute edge lord. 🥳

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 💐) really did dig deep, and we left the paving looking so sharp it could cut. Nothing was left to chance, or to moss. 😱

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. 🧁 Another great task well done! 🧰❤️

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. 🎤 RJ made his debut in his shiny new GG shirt, looking fresh off the press and ready to belt out a few tunes. 👕✨ What happens at karaoke stays at karaoke… 😉 but wonderful scenes were had. 🤩🍾

Until next time, GoodGym Lambeth: thyme to go and lawn-ch ourselves into the next task! 💪🏼

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. 🌆 Nobody was dampened (spirits, that is). 💦

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! 🥳📄

Tonight's flyers-in-chief: Ben, Tilly, Jo, RJ, Fi, Adam and Nicole 🏃‍♀️🏃🏾‍♂️💪🏼

A lovely evening for a run, fun friends to share it with, and Tilly's baking (incredible as ever 🍰) gave us a post-run treat to cake home... Another great task well done! 🧰❤️

See you at the next one (it's the social btw!). Bring a brolly... or just embrace the drizzle! ☔

We were due to help our friends at GROAD get their new venue ready at GreenWorks 🛠️. But Andrea got held up at their storage facility, so all we could manage was a spot of weeding outside. 🌿😅

But as GGers, when life gives you lemons 🍋... 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 ✈️😴) 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 👀), and our two teams took 1st 🥇 and 3rd 🥉 on the podium!! 🥳 Clearly we're as sharp with our brains as we are with our trowels 🧠

Join us next month at the social, when we'll be spending our winnings 💰 and making full use of the karaoke facilities 😱🎤🎙️ You have been warned!

A lovely evening, fun friends to share it with and another great task well done(ish)! 🧰❤️

Who was there: RJ 🌟, Amona 🌟, Yianny, Katie, Lucy, Tilly, Jo, Fi, Adam and Rich 💪🏼
