Five of us gathered on a rainy January evening at Old Spike—those brave enough to face the weather. We were delighted to welcome Charlotte, who was new to Southwark GG but already a seasoned GoodGymer. We set off on a 3k run through the rain to the Old Alleynian Rugby Club, where Ian was waiting for us.

Thoughtfully, he had found us a sheltered task: giving the clubhouse windows a much-needed clean. After our hard work, we were rewarded with delicious homemade brownies baked by Ian’s wife—a perfect treat!

Feeling accomplished and well-fed, we ran back to Old Spike, spirits high despite the rain.

Ana, Jeremy& Chalomi met at St Faith's Community Centre to help the GROAD volunteers sort donated items as well as help set up the 'Open House' for the beneficiaries of the project (vulnerable families, refugees, and people in crisis).

Ana ran all the way from Wandsworth contributing double to the January challenge and earning the prestigious title of the GROAD Runner. Sadly I forgot to take a picture but I will do next time :)

Another Saturday morning and another SE5 Forum market stall setup. Yet, this time, we had a newbie. Anna came for her first GoodGym session and the two of us sped through putting up the gazebo, tables, table clothes and the items that SE5 were selling to raise funds for local community events. The task was done within the 30 minutes. Great start to the day!

Last chilly Sunday morning, 7 Goodgymmers helped out at junior parkrun. Extra kudos to Katie who managed to find us even though none of us had Goodgym t-shirts on!

Nice 7km run plus abut of chopping.

We met up at Old Spike on a chilly January evening, which was a nice way to kick things off after the Christmas break. After a quick warm-up, we headed up to Telegraph Hill and the Christmas tree graveyard.

We split into two teams, led by Lindy and Paulin, and set about collecting abandoned Christmas trees. Between us we managed to pick up a brilliant 12 trees in total. It ended in a draw, so the Percy Pigs prize was shared out all round.

The run back down the hill was much easier, and once we were back at Old Spike we wrapped things up with a cool-down.
