Report written by Merton runner
A crack squad of four GoodGymmers volunteers launched a late afternoon tactical strike to deconstruct the Canons Summer Fair. Armed with nothing but gloves and a litter picker, we displayed true wartime spirit by blitzing the cleanup operation. We single-handedly disarmed a fortress of heavy gazebos, rounded up dozens of fugitive tables and chairs, and cleared the grounds of rogue signs and litter. Working in lockstep with the excellent council staff, we successfully marched the reusable bounty back into the historic house.
Our explosive effort certainly triggered a temporary munitions shortage in our energy levels, but the lovely local café came to the rescue, supplying the troops with a round of ice-cold drinks to celebrate our successful deployment.
The principal object of the Merton Music Foundation is to “advance musical education within the framework of the arts for the benefit of the public in the London Borough of Merton and elsewhere”.
