Camden Report written by John Shirley
(Thanks Camden Linda for the pun...)
At the end of last year last year we planted some trees in Ingestre woods. The local TRA and the nursery recently asked us to help further by making some plaques for the existing larger trees, to label the species.
John and Caitlin, despite neither being carpentry experts, managed to create some roughly rectangular bits of wood for this purpose, from large, thin pieces of wood which were quite resistant to keeping still while being sawed.
Meanwhile, Kate and Katie set to work repairing a compost bin, the sides of which were rotting. They chose some suitable pieces of wood from a pile of discarded planks, which seemed roughly the right size, measured them carefully and sawed them down to precisely the correct width.
Using an electronic drill, the rotten planks were removed from the composter, and when they were replaced with the newly -cut wood, the compost bin resembled one put together by an expert carpenter.
That's GoodGym - you discover skills you never knew you had!

Camden Report written by Beth Nelson
With over 500 SATs probes packed up by the GoodGym team it was time to start delivering them to the patients who most needed them for Central Camden PCN.
Address labels were stuck onto the packages and a delivery route was mapped out for the evening. The 4 GoodGym'ers: Eddie, Katrin and 'Big little' and 'Little' Beth loaded up their backpacks and split into two groups.
Beth² set off in one direction and began working their way down the mapped out list of stops. It was a tricky start with one flat block seemingly a maze! Eventually the final flat was located and they could continue on their way to the next delivery stops.
Katrin and Eddie meanwhile were making quick work of their deliveries. They had set off in the opposite direction and were making their way up the mapped out list of stops - the grand plan was that both groups would eventually meet in the middle! However, they too got stopped in their tracks by a similarly tricky maze-like block of flats.
After 90 minutes and 72 deliveries (plus the bonus of lots of flights of stairs!) we all called it a night. Great work teams!

Islington Report written by Katrin
Great day with fabulous weather and many other runners attending. We cleaned up a section of the community garden and built a little bug hotel.

Katrin earned their community cape by completing their first community mission.
Katrin completed a community mission. Instead of watching TV or lying in bed, Katrin was out there making their community a better place to be. For making that choice they have earned the community cape.

Katrin has done their first good deed with GoodGym.
Katrin is a now a fully fledged GoodGym runner. They've just run to do good for the first time. They are out there making amazing things happen and getting fit at the same time.
