In tonight's task: Goodgym Greenwich foil the Rhubarb plot at Prince Phillip Maritime Collection Centre...

An unseasonably mild 5th November saw 8 GoodGymers make their way to Prince Phillip Maritime Collection Centre in Kidbrooke, where our tasks often involve gilded ceilings, or work in the thriving community garden.

A veritable rainbow of fireworks guided us on our run, and once at the task we sparked into life in the community garden area, cutting back some amazing smelling but slightly overgrown rosemary, weeding the woodchip paths, and clearing wilted tomato plants. A sad part of the task involved removing a giant sunflower (a definite sign that Winter is Coming...) but a cut back of the huge Rhubarb plant provided a great harvest we'll be stalking about for weeks.

The run home loomed, and we managed not to crumble, however being accompanied by the flash, bangs and whizzes of fireworks, poor Rhubarb was unable to utter the immortal lines of "It's all gone quiet..."

On Sunday we've got Clean up Charlton and next wednesday we're leafleting for Age Exchange.

Thank you all & catch up soon!

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
