10 Walls Painted 9 Hedges pruned 8 (hundred) flyers posted 7 Gardens weeded 6 Litterpicks 5 ParkRuns Run! 4 Marshalls Cheering 3 Sheds sorted 2 Ceilings gilded and 1 run report to write now...
OK, so tonight's task did not involve all of the above. However, 10 goodgym-ers did meet for a very productive painting task this evening!
A meet up at Charlton House for a quick warm up led to a lovely run through some Charlton streets featuring several impressive festive lights displays. We ended at Charlton Manor Primary School where caretaker Michael briefed us on our task, which involved painting the walls & cupboards in the Key Stage One assembly hall, used by both the school and various community groups such as the Rainbows.
Brushes, rollers and containers at the ready, teamwork was key as we cut in, rollered & reached for the the top spots with the finest Magnolia emulsion. Time flew by but we covered lots of space, which now needs to dry for the next coat.
Big welcome back to Roshan for his second task with us in a week!
Great work all and Roller On the weekend for our GGG Social...!
On Saturday we've got Clean up Charlton and coffee. Next wednesday is TBC - watch this space!
Until next time 😁

Despite the December chill, Julian led a determined crew of runners to yesterday’s GoodGym Greenwich task. Khai, Ceci and Kerry joined him on the run, while the rest of the team met us at the Brooklands School. We were especially pleased to welcome back Sevan, making a triumphant return after a work Christmas do, and Aman, who left Bristol early just to make it in time. That’s the kind of commitment that keeps GoodGym glowing - heroes, all of you!
Our mission for the evening was to paint the staff room and finish cleaning the cupboards. And true to the evening’s punny title (No Whisk, No Reward) we kicked things off by seeing what on earth we could use to stir the paint... it actually wasn't a whisk but we couldn't resist Khai's excellent pun anyway. With slightly fewer rollers and brushes than ideal (and absolutely no spare whisks), we embraced classic GoodGym ingenuity and made do with what we had. Before long, the first coat was on the walls and the cupboards were sparkling.
We didn’t quite manage to get around the whole room this time, but fear not, we’ll be back in January to finish the job!
Looking ahead, there’s plenty more GoodGym goodness on the horizon: 👉 This Saturday: Talk and Tidy and Westcombe Woodlands 👉 Next Wednesday: get ready to flex those painting muscles again for an indoor task at Arthur’s school!
Brilliant work everyone🛠️🎨💪🏽❤️
Until next time,
Rachel

Last night, 9 of us made our ways to St Luke's in Charlton, a few of us walking and some of us running the 3.5km from the Royal Naval College. A special welcome to Syd on his first task with us - great to have you along and hope to see much more of you over the coming months!
We soon got to work polishing pews, shining brass, scraping wax off tables and giving the church a good old hoover - it smelt lovely after just half an hour (where did the time actually go?!) and then we took a picture and headed out.
Lovely to see you all, as always!
On Sunday we've got helping out CABAHS at the Horn Fair and next Wednesday we're at Charlton Manor Primary School.
Until next time,
Rachel

Pruning & Positivity at Mycenae Gardens
This morning a bright bunch of GoodGymmers swapped dumbbells for hedge-trimmers and headed to Mycenae Gardens to give the greenery a good tidy-up. We welcomed Loren to her first session and hope it will be the first of many.
The Dream Team 🌿 • Julian: Our resident hedge fund manager (of the leafy kind), expertly snipping back branches with precision. • Marta: Proved she’s a cut above the rest, mastering the art of pruning with flair. • Vic: Got stuck into the shrubs, proving that many hands make light plant work. - Kerry made it in to those hard to reach spots pruning .
What We Did 🌳 • Pruned back wayward growth so the gardens could breathe again. • Collected up trimmings and left things looking tidy enough for a rake-over.
Final Flourish ✨
The team left Mycenae Gardens blooming with beauty and buzzing with good energy.
