Last night 12 of us gathered, some for the run and some meeting at the task. The sweaty ones arrived to a very prompt group waiting at Montessori House (I love our group, you're always on time - except for Ivar obviously who is always compulsively early.)

We haven't been here for a long time and have previously painted the outdoor fence which was off the cards tonight due to the rain so instead the main task was to paint the hallway. Thankfully Wendy and Mr Roger were very well prepared with the floor covered and all the rollers and brushes at the ready for us to get started. It was definitely a tight squeeze for 12 of us but we managed to organise ourselves and get the job done to I think a pretty good standard in half an hour and everyone seemed to still be friends by the end, despite a few painted rear ends 😆

Special welcome to Megan and Rubaina for your first tasks with us and hope you'll be back for more soon!

This weekend as well as the Parkruns we've got conservation at Oxleas Woods

And Hornfair Juniors on Sunday.

Next Wednesday we're at Prince Philip Maritime Museum where we'll be doing some odd jobs and gardening.

Until next time!

A fine October morning met us as we gathered for our monthly tasks at the Maryon Wilson Community Garden. Special welcome to Mason and Kenny for their first group sessions with GGG - great to have you join us and hope we'll see you again soon!

Tim and Edna met us, prepared as ever with a great range of jobs in the garden, including sieving compost to spread on the new daffodil bulbs to be planted, and painting the fences.

Jobs were divvied up and an hour later we'd completed a good deal enough to feel like we deserved some of the spread they put on for us to replenish our energy stores ready for the rest of the day.

A lovely morning spent in lovely company - great job team!

Coming up

• Tomorrow we've got maintenance at Westcombe Woodlands

• On Wednesday we're painting at Montessori House

• Next Saturday we're doing conservation at Oxleas Woods

Until next time!

12 GoodGymers met outside Woolwich station for a warm-up & ice breaker discussing apps we rely on, before Walking the Line/Running up that Hill to Dee's Childcare. As one of our regular tasks, often involving building play equipment, we're not Lost Boys in this venue, so soon got stuck in to the various jobs assigned to us.

Beginning with Heathers (the planting of) and finishing lopping away at some (Poison) Ivy (where Julian, Marta & Pieter embraced their inner Edward Scissorhands!), we also got to plant daffodil bulbs which we can't wait to see next spring, a Memento of our task this evening. The Secret of Our Success was, as always, the A Team that is Greenwich Goodgym, and Mission: Accomplished (never impossible!) we parted ways at the Crossroads.

So whether you're watching this report on Disney, Amazon or Netflix, great work everyone & catch up soon 🎬
