On a mild night, 10 Goodgymers headed through the murky depths of Plumstead to the wonderful hive of activity at Glyndon Community Centre.

Andy welcomed us, briefed us on the task at hand and we split into two groups and set to undercoating the skirting board in preparation for a fresh coat of paint. Thanks to some top-notch planning by Alex, our runners had met earlier so we could get to task quickly and complete the mission in good time. Well done to everyone for deviating from GoodGym Standard Time to meet 15 minutes earlier! After some healthy competition - where we decided the group I was in had won the painting neatness prize*, we headed back out, and those running switched their head torches on and bobbed away into the distance.

In two weeks we'll be back to start on the walls and then finish off the skirting boards - what a satisfying job!

Well done to Jonathan for his second group run and to Sarah who has almost completed 50 good deeds! Take a bow, people.

We're at More2Childcare next week to pay Sid the Snail a visit...and do some jobs around the centre.

See you then!

*This might not be true - after all, I was in this group
