The sun came out to greet the GoodGymers as we met at the fittingly named Assembly by the Woolwich riverside. Seven of us picked up our Sunday task to clean up a section of the Thames Path.

A very warm welcome to Vicky who is a regular clean-up champion for the area, joining the Greenwich gang for the first time, and even ran back to get us more litter picks and bin bags.

As we made our way down the Thames Path, no piece of rubbish could escape our youngest member Arthur's keen eye, as he scooted up and down the path while the rest of us tried to keep up!

Sweeping our way to a little clearing which the tide finds a convenient dumping ground, our very own GoodGym Barbie Ceci found a litter Barbie too, on her second Good Deed for the day. After making a good dent in the neverending mountain of litter, we retired to the cosy Woolwich Works for coffee, muffins and a natter.

Mission accomplished, with a pledge to do more, reminding ourselves that every little counts!

Great work everyone and see you at the next task!

On Wednesday we're at Dee's Childcare to put up Christmas lights and next Sunday we're back at Mycenae for some gardening and coffee 😁

Saturday was community day at St Mary's church in Lewisham, a perennial Good Gym favourite. 3 hardy runners turned up, despite predictions of filthy weather, ready to help Sue and the team out with getting the churchyard ready for winter and the hope of spring.

The tasks were simple, get of the wild alliums and alkanet and plant bulbs, both more appropriate alliums and tulips. Despite stepping on many of the bulbs we were to plant, we'd soon cleared a vast space and got the bulbs in.

And St Mary's are one of our most generous hosts and afterward we were rewarded with some of Joy's lovely spicy squash and coconut soup, which warmed us all up again after an hour and a half in the cold.

A Greenwich Maritime start for tonight's group run meant another chance to see the fab light show on a chilly November evening. 10 GoodGym-ers then made their way to St Richard's Church in Charlton.

We had a great selection of tasks, including outdoor weeding, plus cleaning upstairs with some vacuuming, mopping and dusting. Others in the group grabbed some tools and got on with some maintenance jobs fixing door handles and push plates. Contrary to popular belief we CAN handle the screws...

Tasks complete, everything turned out Hunky - Doory as we ended our mission with tea and cake to celebrate Jenny's whopping 500th good deed!

Welcome back to Aman for his second task with us- great to have you in the team!

Great work all & catch up soon 😃

Next week we're putting up Christmas decorations at Dee's Childcare!
