What a lovely bunch this evening for a solid task in a weird old building. We kicked things off at the Bridge House with names and favourite breaded goods (made of dough). A nice selection.
It was fab to have Zara at her first GoodGym sesh! And great to have Izzy along to her first group run. And also meeting us from Southwark, Gemma!
Our task this evening was with Kingswood Arts, a group who have taken over an incredible old mansion and are turning it into a multi-faceted events/community/arts/drama/music space. But first we had to get there - It's a bit of a trek over the hill but we made it with perfect timing to meet Nico who showed us our task...
Long live the Kingswood
At Kingswood, we met Gemma and Hannah, shared our favourite breaded goods (bread-crumbed) and got cracking with a load of shifting:
๐ช Moving a couple of hundred chairs into the room next door.
๐ Rearranging some sofas
๐ช Moving more chairs
๐ช Moving some ladders, speakers and miscellaneous boxes to the basement.
๐ช Moving more chairs and tables.
GoodGym combines getting fit with balloonteering ๐
Before leaving, we took some snaps with some balloons and headed home.
Cracking stuff everyone! Imagine how long that would have taken one or two people to do! ๐

This evening we were back in those flower beds at Alexandra Rec, helping out their delightful friends group keep on top of those pesky weeds.
First up we met in The Bridge House and shared our names (novel) and favourite fruits (bananas, mango, raspberries, tinned peaches, watermelon, kiwi and strawberries FYI). We were joined for the first time by Zoe ๐๐โจ๐ฅณ for her very first GoodGym sesh - Lovely to have you with us!
Then we set off. We were in a bit of a rush because the Crystal Palace Fun Runners were about and we wanted to show them who's boss - we even managed a speedy warm up. It's a short one to Alex Rec where we met Lou who showed us our task.
Armed with trowels and forks and a wheelbarrow for mulching, we got to work. Zoe was tackling the prickly rose bed, Rosie and Cat were barrowing mulch, and everyone else was in another bed wrestling with dandelions and bindweed.
After a solid half hour we threw in the trowel, took a few snaps, played a quick game of 'squat, squat, goose' and headed back to base.
Well done everyone!
Another good deed done. โ

This evening, 8 beautiful souls (I guess) met for an evening's jog and a good deed too! 6 of us met at The Bridge House. 4 of those ran whilst the others walked and then we met 2 at the museum!
We've been at it for a little while now, but the museum is finally opening the door for the public to view Brunel's old water tower base. The top was knocked down in the war (on purpose - so the baddie planes couldn't tell where they were) and since then the plants in there have run wild.
Our task for the evening was to clear the entrance as it's a bit precarious anyway...
๐ฑ We pulled out weeds and scraped moss off the bricks
๐ชต Sami was yanking dead branches down
๐งฑ We cleared rubble out the way
๐งบ And took it all out of the tower to leave a clear pathway.
Afterwards, we took a quick snap (coming soon...), played a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors, did some press-ups and tricep dips and even managed some sprints to finish. ๐
Solid effort everyone - see you next time!
