A fantastic 26 brilliant GoodGym-ers joined me in Camden to help Castlehaven Community Centre and Cecil Sharp House!

With Paul away it was time for me to step in and it was great to see so many of you out to help. We did our usual intro, outlined the tasks and introduced ourselves. In the news just two things:

  • GoodGym hit 100,000 good deeds last week, a huge achievement and you're all a part of that so thank you and well done. Check out the story!
  • At long last we have the August social sorted, it looks like a rainy day so it seems like we have lucked out by not being at the southbank centre roof garden but we are still in the area - all the details here, we'll be there from 6.30pm!

With a quick warm-up done we split into two groups with Chris taking ten to deliver leaflets in the area around the Castlehaven centre.

The Castlehaven group ran to the centren and then split into two groups of three tackling the blocks of flats, and the remaining four on the road working up to Kentish Town West. Once that was all done the teams regrouped and headed up on the roads north of Kentish Town West. With that done the group headed back to base and finished off with a stretch led by Chris.

The remaining seventeen of us headed to Cecil Sharp House for our monthly trip. Unfortunately Susannah was away but we got set to clearing the place up and generally making it lovely again. There was much in the way of leaves and confetti to be swept and raked from the lawn and grounds. The two Steves focused on weeding the paths too.

With a little spare time once everything was done, Katherine led us in a short circuit session and with everyone suitably worked out we headed back to base too.

With everyone doing a cool down stretch it was the end of another great evening in Camden.

Thanks to everyone for all your efforts and sign up here, the awesome Frances is in charge!

Cheers, Pritesh

p.s. thanks to Chris for the top pun!
