Graham and Brad took on the welcoming duties tonight at the Aquatics Center as Renata joined us for her first Goodgym group run.

Kevin and I did a run and DLR journey to Cody Dock

Leaflets had been left in a lock box for us and a new area for delivery tonight.

A pleasant surprise was seeing Simon (the Dad of Cody Dock) he let us have a look around the new visitor center and bar area...also got to see where the new cafe will be and the heritage center.

So many changes in the nearly nine years we have been helping at this wonderful hidden gem in Newham.

Pop along and see for you self this Saturday as they host their Summer Open Day

Hilary took on the task of leading the team from the Aquatics Center.

Kevin and I opted for a shorter run from home

Tim walked from Stratford so was the first to arrive and so was there to welcome Zetta on her first GoodGym task.

After a quick catch up with Paul,Brad,Adam and Eugene who we haven't seen for a few weeks.

We also welcomed Emily and Juan to there first Goodgym task and Nick on his first visit to Emmanuel Church.

Once all the introductions had been made Sybil set us to work with weeding the flower beds at the front of the church and also trim the shrubs,with the help of two of the church wardens.

Sybil then took me to the side of the church to plan out what we will be doing when we return July.

Weeds pulled and shrubs trimmed we packed up and took the tools back into the church where Sybil had laid on a wonderful set of refreshments. Sybil sent Eugene home with a food parcel.

Next week we head to Newham Hospital
