7 GoodGym-ers met at Charlton House for tonight's run in part 2 of our letterbox flyering task for the Library of Things in Woolwich. This week with some contrasting red flyers for none other than our own Library of Tasks, GoodGym!

After an ice-breaker discussing favourite snacks (always a hot topic!l we headed through Charlton Park to our destination streets.

There's not loads one can say about a flyering task, other than its a great way to get our steps in (well, up & down) and discuss the relative merits of different design doors, letterboxes and front gates. Splitting into teams meant we covered a good section of the area, under the scrutiny of several neighbourhood cats, and soon had run out of both leaflets & time.

Thanks all & catch up soon!

On Saturday there's gardening at the Hospice, Sunday we're gardening at Mycenae House and next Wednesday we're helping out at Dee's Nursery

It was a GoodGym Greenwich takeover this weekend! Along with one Camden-er, we had a whirlwind 40 minutes setting up tables, dishing up rice, handing out bread, bananas and cookies, and making more hot drinks than you can count. Great to see you all, and well done!

3 GoodGym-ers joined the Friends of the Blue Cross Pet Cemetery in Charlton for today's task.

Fur things First, the onset of autumn has been accompanied by the inevitable fallen leaves from the trees surrounding the area, so a big part of our work today involved sweeping the paths & tile grouting.  While some of us got on with this, adding our trugfuls of leaves to the compost heap, others worked on fixing the water butt & its supporting structure, also clearing away a heap of soil & debris which had been borrowed by some nesting rodents.

We always hear some stories about the Cemetery: today's featured the latest memorial being added for a late pet duck, the artwork for which was expected later in the day. 

A quick litterpick & the task was finished.At least until next month where I'm sure there'll be a whole ocean of leaves waiting for us! 🍃

An undecided sky looked down on 7 goodgym-ers, meeting outside Charlton House for this evening's task. Said sky decided to bless us with a dry evening which was handy for this outdoor group run!

A brisk walk through Charlton Park with a literal ice-breaker (discussing relevant injuries...) brought us to the streets between Charlton & Woolwich, and a literary themed task, delivering flyers for The Library of Things in Woolwich. This is an excellent scheme where items can be borrowed, from carpet steamers to karaoke machines, helping save money and the planet.

Lots of steps, hills & letterboxes later, we were working our way through the Library of GoodGym, from A Beginners Guide to Motoring (helping push a broken down car to a safer position off the main road) through Running Scared (of the numerous doggies eager to see what we were delivering...!) And then back to see how The Charlton Men ('s football team got on in their game tonight).

Proving both libraries & Goodgym are great for one's circulation, we turned to the next chapter of our respective weeks. Thanks all & catch up soon! 📚
