Once more onto the beach, dear friends

Tower Hamlets Report written by John Shirley

Who knew there was a sandy beach behind Barge East, with the Olympic Stadium as a backdrop? Not me. But GoodGym were beach-ready and shovel-ready

First, was this really Tower Hamlets territory, as it was close to Hackney Wick station and within a javelin’s distance of the Olympic stadium, which is associated with Newham? Yes, we were re-assured, there was some re-drawing of boundaries when the Olympic Park was built

Emma was an early sign-up, but didn’t want to be the only one. Never fear, Lucinda arrived in record time from work, and David turned up for his first ever GoodGym session, all the way from Lea Bridge Road. He used to cycle through the Hackney Wick area and but found it somewhat changed, since not many years ago

Bola Beach Tennis is a London Legacy Development Corporation project introducing beach tennis to East London. It’s run by East London Tennis Solutions CIC, which uses social grants and raises revenue to deliver new, inclusive opportunities in tennis locally

They’ve got a very nice set of sandy tennis courts, but the wind, and general usage, have resulted in much of the sand ending up where it’s not needed – outside the courts. Our task was to shovel the sand back where it belongs, then rake it so it’s nice and flat. So GoodGym were joining the levelling-up agenda

Meanwhile, Emma and Lucinda undertook a typical GoodGym task: moving wood from one place to another. Kat was accustomed to the beach, as she’d just returned from Porto. She wants to take up beach volleyball but made do with an enjoyable game of doubles tennis after we’d finished.

Re-moo-ving cow parsley

Tower Hamlets Report written by Laura Williams

The gorgeous Tower Hamlets Cemetery Park covers 27 acres and is home to a wide range of wildlife and plants.

Volunteers offer support to Park Manager Ken and his team to help manage the site, including the maintenance of its many pathways.

16 GoodGymers gathered this evening to help remove cow parsley from one of the pathways.

We welcomed Jasand Carina to their first Monday night task before Ken greeted us with a short briefing, tonight's pun and some good guidance on the task ahead...

Why cow parsley?

Cow parsley can spread rapidly and dominate open spaces, overshadowing smaller plants. Managing its spread helps keep a balanced and varied landscape.

The team spent a productive hour in the overgrowth, performing many squats to carefully uproot the stems, and taking it in turns to wheel loads around the corner to the green waste pile, before hurling armfuls of greenery onto this great big green mountain.

By the end of the evening, pathway clearings were more visible (see Emma’s before and after pics) showing immediate results of tonight’s effort.

It was gone 8 when we gathered gloves, forks and wheelbarrows and headed to the nearest bench for our final group pic! Ambling back through the park, we concluded it was something of a relief to enjoy a task in the daylight, complete with warm sun.

Until next time.

Marathon Effort, Maximum Cheer

Tower Hamlets Report written by Emma Jones

A small but mighty team of five Tower Hamlets GoodGymers joined forces with the charity Missing People to bring some serious cheer to the London Marathon yesterday in our very own borough!

Stationed just after mile 16 on the Isle of Dogs on what was a scorcher of a day - and a tough part of the course where runners really start to dig deep – we brought the noise with plenty of sun, smiles, and shouted names. There were loads of GoodGym shoutouts too, with lots of runners lighting up when they spotted our red shirts!

It was a brilliant way to spend the day: supporting an amazing charity, cheering on some incredible efforts, and soaking up the brilliant atmosphere of marathon day.

Huge thanks to everyone who came along!
