Another Goodgym Year done and dusted. And what a year it's been!.

Hero!

Everybody make some noise for our Charlie who, very quietly and under the radar, smashed the 150 task mark in style. We <3 you, Charlie and we know we bug you all the time with random questions about plants and animals but we just reckon you don't mind because you like bugs after all.  Here's to the next 150!

Also, we bid a warm see you later to Louise who leaves us for pastures new - don't be a stranger! <3

Christmas With The Kranks

We were very thankful to be welcomed by Maggie from the Sandlings Resident Association when she opened the doors to a warm Sandbunker Community Centre for us. We were there to help sort out their games room - which upon arrival resembled more a storage area than a fun zone.

But, as it's well known, GGHaringey brings the fun with them and we got on with the job of injecting some joie de vivre back into this community space.

Chairs stacked up here, massive round tables rolled there, floor-sweeping-cum-amateur-curling in between - we did it all, friends.

Before you knew it, a job that looked too big when we got there suddenly looked less daunting and we managed to finish with about 10 minutes to spare! Boom.

We waved goodbye to Maggie and went out into the night in search of festive drinks and bonhomie.

Feliz Navidad and Happy New Year, everyone!

Ten speedy Goodgymmers Marie Kondoed their way through one of the storage units at the Sandbunker Community Hub in Wood Green tonight.

Shout Out Corner

Big love to four legged Goodgymmer Murphy who joined us in the pub after the task and was a very very good boy. What a love! #GoodgymDogsInThePub should be a thing - let's make it happen.

Messy Play

When Maggie from the Sandlings Resident Association opened the door to the small storage unit at the back of the Sandbunker Community Hub, she might as well have handed us the key to Aladdin's Cave - the room was a treasure trove of community detritus collected over many a year in this corner of North London.

We got on with the job of emptying the contents of the unit into the Hub's hall and before long, the room was covered with different iterations of video games, old photograph slides, funky artwork, and whatnot.

Maggie wagged her finger tentatively at the things we could send the great beyond and our Goodgymmers wasted no time in getting rid of years of clutter.

Having identified the things worth keeping, our team started to reorganise the unit. And what a difference it made. The room was tidy and accessible and Maggie couldn't believe her eyes at the speed our heroes dealt with the storage. Along the way there was some pawn watching, some William Tellesque archery, and some other nsfw banter that is better not being referenced here.

As we finished, we squeezed ourselves into yet another cluttered room (a future task, no doubt) and Maggie squeezed a few last tasks from us as we took a few group snaps.

All in all, a wonderful night.

Join us next week for more shenanigans.
