Camden Report written by Alex Murtough (he/him)
Sometimes photos capture more than words alone, or even words at all, and this morning is one of those sometimes.
Our wonderful group of 10 (Alison, Angeliki, Caitlin, Emily, Lisa, Matt, Nivia, Sarah, and Steve) spent this autumn morning surrounded by train-spotting goats, marquee-chewing cows, and guinea pigs called Peanut and Pumpkin.
I think you want the photos - all the photos - and they are here :)
Thank you, all, for a happy morning in this special spot, and I hope you know how much of a positive difference you made for the team at the farm - your marquee making, fence ferrying, bunting hanging (and more!) left them well set for tomorrow's Apple Day festivities - thank you :)
Here's to the next one!!

Islington Report written by Simon Fitzmaurice
8 top Goodgymmers met the lovely Dawn at Rose Bowl Youth Club last night. The GoodGym Islington crew had been called out to offer our assistance with garden maintenance and green fingered tasks as the darker nights draw in. Plenty of leaf sweeping in October, particularly useful for clearing up the playground for football loving youngsters! Well done everyone!

Everyone welcome, no special skills needed! Lots of fresh air and a nice chance to meet local people. We meet once a month on a Saturday morning near the shed in the middle of the Gardens.

Islington Report written by Simon Fitzmaurice
On Monday evening, local volunteering superstar Eslam hosted a smashing evening at Timbuktu Adventure Playground. Sally, Hannah, Sarah and Caitlin did a wonderful job shifting and turning the bark chip surrounding the play apparatus, helping to keep visiting youngsters safe while running and climbing. Great job everyone!

Camden Report written by Alex Murtough (he/him)
Our wonderful group of Caitlin, Emily, and Steve (and me) spent our Saturday morning well :)
Amidst early Autumn sun, we helped out our friends (Brooke and Jared) at the American International Church. We loaded a van with (hundreds of) long-forgotten books and recycling, and we made good(gym) use of the human chain as we did.
Racing the van, we took an early afternoon run through the Camden hubbub, arriving just in time to unload everything into the wanting bins at Camden's recycling centre.
Thank you, all, for your work and energy - I had such a great time! And.... these van photos are (I think) some of the best GG photos I've ever seen!
To next time!

Camden Report written by Alex Murtough (he/him)
Our new mascot is a web developer.
They're a true expert in ICT (insects - caterpillars - (and) - termites).
They have promised us they will spread the GoodGym word in apartments, flats, and houses across Camden. Apparently they can get into any building.
Whilst they are neither a vegan nor a vegetarian, they (reluctantly) respect others ways of life. Unless you are an insect, caterpillar, or termite.
We will call them Camden. Camden the Big-Fluffy-MaybeScary-Super-Spider.
Our rendezvous and meet-and-great with Camden (The Big Fluffy Spider) filled the final minutes of our time at the Caversham's Listening Space Garden, amidst a darkening and (orange) moon shaped sky.
We started in our usual haunt by the Crick this evening. Caitlin, Gosia, Jackie, Steve, and I started with chatter before attempting the count-to-25 warm-up game. We didn't quite make it to 25. This irked Camden (The Big Fluffy Spider). Every successful spider - apparently - can count to 25 (flies).
Our smaller group tracked a sun-bound evening route through Camden to the Caversham, where we were met by GG Camden regular, Sarah, and GG Camden newcomers, Alfie, Anton, and Nivia (you're very welcome, all!!)
Guided by the Caversham's brill social prescriber, Jackie, we got tucked into 40 minutes of scraping, pulling, and removing summer weeds. Heads down under our encroaching evening, we each got to know someone a little better.
Thank you, all, folks (including you, Camden) for this evening - you made a huge and visible difference to this space, which is used so much by the local community - thank you :)
Here's to next time!
