The good people of SE7 had been out partying as usual - loads of beer cans and cigarette ends littering the streets! Six of us and another lovely local volunteer (we're encouraging her to join Goodgym!) tackled our usual areas of the Woolwich Road, Anchor & (no) Hope Lane and Bugsby's Way.

We filled 10 bags of rubbish including three of aforementioned bottles, cans and those annoying BuzzBall cocktail containers as well as a few bottles of spirits. Enough to create the bar you really don't want to drink at... There were the usual piles of bits of plastic, takeaway containers, cigarette packs and a trowel!

As usual we adjourned at the end for the kind of drink we could enjoy - M&S coffee. Thanks to everyone who turned out as the litter was quite bad in places.

The end of the month has come around quickly and 10 Good Gymers were on hand to attend the monthly session at Mycenae House, one of our favourites (not least because they’re always very generous with cake).

We were met by Fiona, the amazing coordinator of the many taks occurring at the house that morning, and she soon put us to work with a couple of tasks: first up we had some cut material to move to the dead hedge before the main event of clearing all of that perennial Good Gym enemy, green alkanet, from one of the reserved spaces. But being Good Gym we’d got that task done quicker than you can say itchy skin so another task had to be found. We were soon split into two teams, one cutting back some holly trees to increase ground coverage and one team moving the cut foliage to the dead hedge.

And finally it was time for cake.
