We met on a chilly evening at old Spike and after a quick warm up we ran 3k over to Old Alleyian Rugby club. We had a few tasks to help Ian with which included moving cement bags, clearing the group behind the club house, sewing grass seed and shovelling sand into wheelbarrows. We got a lot done and were rewarded with some choccies before running back and heading to the Nags head for a well deserved drink and chin wag.

Today we went to help Ian at the rugby club by weeding and re-seeding one of the pitches. Daryl and Steve were on seed duty, whilst everyone else was weeding. Ian set us the challenge of filling up a tonne bag full of weeds, which was accomplished just in time! After a scramble to put away the tonne bag, a group photo, and quickly scoff down a mini chocolate bar, we ran back to Old Spike. A few of us headed to the pub afterwards.

Jam packed evening for goodgym Southwark - a sweaty 3km run from Old Spike to Old Alleynian in time to catch the solar eclipse.

Some novel methods to watch it were attempted including a holy hat and a pasta spoon.. Thank you to David for packing spare glasses so everyone could get a glimpse!

After the EXCITEMENT of the eclipse we helped Ian with trimming the pavement side hedge.

Then onwards for some well deserved ice creams at Oddono's and crispy cold pints at the Actress.

Goodgym Southwark braved the heatwave to run to help clear weeds and tidy up at the Old Alleynian Rugby Club.

After finishing off some Moams, we jogged back and then headed to Franks for a rooftop drink!

We enjoyed a lovely, sunny run over to Old Alleynian Rugby Club. Once there, we got stuck into a few tasks for the evening, including sweeping the astro, scraping paint, and planting sunflowers 🌻. To round off the session, we had a fun game of touch rugby. As it was Ian’s birthday, we also got to celebrate with some well-earned cake before heading back.

We met at old spike and ran over to meet Ian at the Old Alleynian Rugby Club on a beautiful clear evening. Six of us got to work clearing the entrance to the club and the driveway. We cut back and raked away the nettles. It was a satisfying task! We had some delicious ginger biscuits as a treat at the end before running back.
