"Can you Splat-The-Rat?"

Not something GoodGymers get to say very often but it was part of our repartee as we helped run the fairground games on Discover Welling's stall at the town's Sparkle event.

On the other side of the stand we got to grips with the badge-maker, turning children's colourful drawings into badges and fridge magnets.

All this to the sound of Christmas favourites sung by the live band.

It was lovely to be part of this festive market helping lots of local families and residents enjoy the atmosphere.

After posing for a photo in front of the giant snow globe (we'd have been in it if the queue had been shorter!) we rounded things off with a coffee in a nearby cafe. It was then that we noticed Graham's t-shirt has lost its 'g'. Perhaps the rat stole it!

Well done Team oodgym!

We joined other volunteers at the Roots4Life community hub for a litterpick around the local area.

The organisers asked our posse of four GoodGymers to head towards the station where there was a particularly untidy area to tackle.

We nattered and picked up litter along the road as we went, then spotted an area around an overflowing clothes bank that clearly needed some tlc.

There were clothes and shoes strewn all over the place with litter accumulated among them. We tidied all the clothing items into bags and hoped they would be collected before anyone rifled through them. The rubbish went into our litter bags. It looked so much better when we finished.

Meanwhile, Rachel who arrived later, litterpicked nearer to the hub with her little Goodgymer.

As the alloted time drew to a close we all headed back to Roots4Life where delicious homemade cakes and warming hot drinks awaited.

Our monthly session with the Friends of Danson Park is usually a good workout, and this morning was no exception.

We got active shoveling woodchips into barrows and wheeling them to the North Woodland Walk. There we raked them along the path to prevent a mudfest in the winter months. 💪💪💪

Our youngest GoodGymers helped us cover an impressive length of the walk. Then it was time to enjoy a hot drink kindly provided by The Stables.

The Friends are taking a break in December but we'll be back in January to tackle the rest of the path.
