With the annual Poppy Appeal now over, we headed to Welling High Street to help Discover Welling take down the poppies from the lamp posts.

We were joined by two local councillors and soon got the hang of releasing the reusable cable ties, carefully packing them and the poppies into bags so they can be stored safely and brought out again next year.

As the poppies came down, we replaced some of them with posters showing designs by local schoolchildren for a new bespoke Christmas light for the high street. Discover Welling ran the competition for a second year, and we loved seeing the winning entry, Sammy the Star, glistening beside the Welling Cannon as it started to get darkp.

Our final job was to put up the Merry Christmas banner around the cannon and decorate the tree trunks in the raised planters at the other end of the high street.

It's beginning to look a bit like Christmas!

It was lovely to have Melvin with us for his first GoodGym task - we hope to see you again soon!
