This evening before the main tuesday event, Anna and myself did a bit of dipping the buckets and thus watering the Gg plot. Surprisingly it has survived all that the weather has thrown at us.

Today 8 goodgymers from different areas brought and dropped items for their local food bank whilist on the run during their day.

Tonight we were back at our old favourite Canbury Gardens and despite rain horizon there was still lots of watering to do both at GoodGym flowerbed and in the Community Garden.

Sabir, Luke, Dave, Tom and Jonathan filled bucket upon bucket with water and hauled them across the park to Louise, Hannah, Amy and Claire who watered all the plants.

Meanwhile Marcos was busy filling up the waterbutts from the water as it was delivered.

By the end we had a great system going and waterbutts 4,5,6,7 and 8 were filled up ready for watering by the Community Garden volunteers.

After picking a few tomatoes and beans it was time to head home.

The ducks were waiting at the Gg bucket watering hole as we prepared to give the plants in our plot some much needed fuel to keep them thriving.

This morning Sabir and myself were once again at the riverside to collect water to help the produce to accumulate. He enjoyed collecting his tomatoes.

GoodGym had a great day at the Big Sports Day in Wimbledon Park celebrating sport in the borough. We met with Roxanne Bennett, the Sports and Leisure Manager, from Merton Council, Councillor Caroline Cooper Marbiah, and the Mayor of Merton, Councillor Slawek Szczepanski, and told them all about how great GoodGym is and how we can support local charities and community groups in the borough once GoodGym Merton is launched. We just need three more taskforce to launch so if you want to be part of the process then let us know!

We spent an hour walking round the event handing out leaflets and explaining what we do. Jade got into networking mode and chatted with all the community groups and created valuable connections face-to-face to let them know how GoodGym Merton could support them.

So lovely to meet Caroline and work with Jade and bond as the founding group of Goodgym Merton. Very excited for the launch! Watch this space.
