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.

9 goodgymmers helped out at regular task Old Alleynian's on wednesday. clearing leaves and cutting back the overgrowth. Sam had a whale of a time with the leaf blower. Thanks to Ian for generously offering up post task chocolates to spirits up!

We met at Old Spike and, after a quick warm-up, headed out for our group run to the Old Alleynian Rugby Club. It was a deceptively mild evening, and we were all nicely warmed up after tackling the East Dulwich hill. Once at the rugby club, Ian set us to work trimming back the hedges to tidy up the boundary and make it easier for walkers to pass by. Our efforts were rewarded with a delicious homemade brownie — the perfect treat to refuel before our run back to Peckham.

We kicked things off at Old Spike and somehow managed to dodge the heavy rain as we made our way over to Old Alleynian Rugby Club. We had three newbies with us—Roland, Kamil, and Olga—great to have them along for their first Southwark Group Run!

Ian met us at the club and set us up with some weeding and patching up the pitches with seed. Once the hard work was done, we got our reward: a game of touch rugby. Ian then fueled us up with winegums before our run back.

After that, it was back to Old Spike and straight on to Brick Brewery for a well-earned drink and a good catch-up.

We met at Old Spike before our group run to Old Alleynian Rugby Club. Our warm up was short as we were all suitably warm from it being a scorching day! We ran over to Dulwich and met Ian who put us to work. Some of us helped seed bare patches of grass and others helped move some sand. Our treat at the end of was a game of touch rugby and a chocolate! Those who did the run back we went via Dawsons heights to check the view of the London skyline at sunset.

Tonight we ran 3km from Old Spike to the Old Alleynian Rugby Club. We were met by Ian and were put to work clearing ivy away from the path. It looked a lot better but the time we were finished. As a reward we played a game of touch rugby after which was a lot of fun. Before we left Ian treated us to mini rolls to fuel us for our run back to Peckham.
