10 Goodgymmers excelled in the line of duty last night as they offered a hand at the Haringey Play Association.

Make. Some. NOISE. for our very own Super Sarah who like a wise ant has been quietly and sensibly squirrelling away good deeds and now has reached a whopping 300 deeds. Boom!

Also, Big Love to our Special K who was benched this week through injury

It had been a normal evening at GGH HQ when we got the call but we knew straight away this would be one of our more challenging cases to date. 

Our team of detectives arrived at the scene and immediately our suspicions were piqued when we spotted a bunch of men in red, armed with spades. 

"We're just filling up the playpen with bark, guv," they pleaded. "To make sure the kiddies are safe if they fall off the monkey bars." In the horizon, Cathy seemed to be pulling the strings in this operation with her rake.

Captain Niamh wasn't having any of it and went undercover straight away by ingeniously posing as a... erm... captain. Genius. 

Forensic Khan and her team combed the fields at the HPA and concentrated their energies and brushes on transforming the nest where a new bridge is being installed this week. It was unclear whether foul play was responsible for the previous fallen bridge but suspicion was afoot as soon as a very shifty Geraldine started using her power tools in the vicinity of the fallen bridge.

In the end, after an hour of hard grafting, our Goodgymmers ended their game of cops and robbers with a high speed chase down the very steep slide. It really was ace.

Boom!

10 playful GoodGymmers raced down towards White Hart Lane Stadium to help the wonderful Haringey Play Association at Somerford Grove Community Project.

Tonight, the amazing runners from Haringey GoodGym chopped, swept, dug deep and found their inner children at the playground

Can we get a woop woop?

The lovely Molly and Jenny joined us today for their first ever group run and my, oh my, they threw themselves into it. Natural born GoodGymmers!

A night at the playground

That was a fun task! A nice run down the Seven Sisters High Road and Tam from Haringey Play Association welcomed us in a veritable kids paradise (and the odd grown up GoodGymmer's too) and set us to work in a number of tasks.

Some gardened to their heart's content, whilst others used axes with such a skill and passion that it really didn't feel like they were newbies at it. After half hour, we really didn't want to leave the playground but alas... all good things come an end.

Back at base camp, we agreed we'd like to go back ASAP!

Onto the next!

Next week, we'll be visiting Bruce Castle Park where the community cafe at the heart of the park is in need of some love. Come and join us!

Also, we'll be at Chestnut Park Festival for one of our funtastic community missions. Boom!
