What a cracking evening, GoodGym-ers! 💪🏼🍾

Tonight's tight-knit squad of legends — Michael, Ben, Jo, Nicole, and yours truly, AA Yianny — rolled up ready for action, joined by our fabulous friend Naomi from Holy Trinity (HT). 🥰

Mission of the night: get HT looking sparkly ✨ ahead of some big celebrations coming up. Enter: the weeds along the outer wall, who did NOT see us coming. Armed with some brand new (and, let's be honest, slightly mysterious 🧰) tools, our crack team made light work of the lot — turns out "getting to the root of the problem" isn't just a saying, it's a Tuesday for us. 🌱👋

With the church looking noticeably less jungle and noticeably more "ready for its close-up," we decided we'd earned ourselves a reward — and with it being World Cup semi-final night, the choice basically made itself. Down the road we went for a well-deserved drink and to cheer on the football together. Weeding by day, wonder-goals by night — truly a session of two halves! ⚽🍻

😱🤩 What a night. HT: 1, Weeds: 0. Thanks for another brilliant session, team — same time next week? 🙌

What an absolute cracker of an evening, Lambeth! 💪🏼

Tonight’s task force assembled in style: Katie, Ben, Jo, Fi, Nicole and yours truly, AA Yianny, hit the streets — and because it was our monthly social, we got extra reinforcements in Adam, Michael and Tilly. Bigger squad, bigger impact! 🍾

We went full GG classic tonight with a Litter Pick Bingo — and Lambeth did NOT disappoint. We picked, we sorted, we scratched our heads at some genuinely bizarre finds (we won’t ask, we don’t want to know 😱), and left the streets looking significantly more sparkly than we found them. Full house on the bingo card, several question marks on the mystery items. A+ prep for game night, if we do say so ourselves. ❤️

But the real headline tonight: Katie hit 200 tasks for GoodGym. 200! 🥰 Task Force superhero, social media guru, and general ray of sunshine — Katie, we are so unbelievably proud of you. That’s not a milestone, that’s a monument. Take a bow. 👏

Then it was straight into the social — baked goods, pizza, laughs, the occasional happy tear, and a room full of the loveliest weirdos Lambeth has to offer (said with maximum affection). 🤩

Great pick, great people, great cake. See you next week, legends! 🏃💚

I was helping set up the stages , stalls and overall.

A nice bit of Sunday morning weeding to wake me up.

I arrived at the same time as the Felix delivery, took 6 crates of fresh produce, followed by another delivery of meats. It took us a while to separate portions and count eggs but we got there. There were plentiful portions ready for Friday's guests.
