What a great turn out this Sunday morning! Ten GoodGymers turned up to help Levi with his project at The Mall Bexleyheath.

We met Levi and Conroy who showed us what needed to be done.

We set to work painting the two washrooms, a kitchen and an office! Sounds a lot, it was but we got it done and what a transformation!

Sarah W was on coffee duty and we had the music playing in the background! Lots of conversations about parkruns and football was being had. It was a great way to spend a Sunday morning!

We managed to finish in good time and then went for a bite to eat at the Weatherspoons.

With the next visit secured in our diaries we headed off.

A blustery but thankfully dry Saturday morning in October blew 2 goodgym-ers to Maryon Park Community Garden in Charlton. 

For anyone that's not visited, the garden is a community food growing area within one of Charlton 's many green spaces, where plothouders grow everything from pumpkins to tomatoes, beetroot to beans, and today we saw some pretty giant courgettes!

Our task today was to clear away a build-up of leaves from the entrance pathways, to make the area safer and tidier. Leafblower & shovels at the ready, we'd soon run out of space in the composting bins and it was time for a tidy up and a catch up with Tim & Edna. 

Have a great weekend all! 😊

Tonight's task for 4 goodgym-ers started with a quick change of venue, from St Lukes Church to St Richard's, both regular task locations in Charlton. A slightly wild, grey sky looked down on us as we jogged down towards our destination discussing our proudest moments.

Our woodchip pathway is still looking good! A little bit of weeding was still needed, but the membrane & woodchip is doing a great job of repressing the growth.

The grey skies turned darker so we headed into the Church for a whole new world of tasks in the hall including cleaning up some dusty chairs and a good old hot floor mop. The tasks just seemed call for a bit of a disney singalong, so whistling a happy working song, the time warped away for us to step in time into the unknown.

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious work everyone!

After the nail-biting game yesterday at Charlton Athletic, 9 Goodgymers and some friends of CleanUpCharlton ventured out to clear up some of the post-match debris.

While one team tackled the home end of Anchor & Hope Lane, the others took to the midfield of the Woolwich Road to clear the cans, bottles and cigarette ends. The game of two halves ended with a photo line-up at the end of Popeye's Path (formerly Frankie & Benny's Alley) which always needs a good grounds-person or two (or even 11)!

The boys and girls done good and 13 bags were left for the referee (Greenwich Council) at final whistle. Man/woman of the match was awarded to all players in the form of a nice cup of coffee at our favourite M&S cafe (we might tap them for sponsorship next season). They thought it was all over - it is now until next month!
