Find out about GoodGym TaskForce
Report written by Yianny (he / him)
The crew were out in good numbers last night despite the drastic drop in temperature - Spring reverting to Winter - and we were ready to set off and help out Valcie from Papa's Park at the Landor Road allotments.
First up we were delighted to welcome Perdie to the Lambeth group for her first session - great to have you with us!
Tilly, Ben and Fi then joined us and we set off on a loop via Clapham North to Landor Road and despite being hesitant about the run portion, Perdie decided to join and in the end made it round no problem.
On arrival Matt was there to let us in and show us the tasks and our cyclists Marie-Noelle and Paul were there to meet us as well. The tasks were simple clear out the alkanet from as much of the plot as we could and once the tools were distributed we hit the ground hard.
By 8pm we had cleared a huge tract and Matt was surprised that we had filled the tonne bag full of weeds and grass and that was time for this session.
And so we set off back to base, a few cheeky Haribo were shared to keep our blood sugar levels even (...!) and we look forward to the next session and hopefully some better weather as well. Valcie was very pleased and sent her thanks to the group as well.
See you next time - Let's Go Lambeth!!
Papa's Park is a community playground, hall and basketball pitch. It offers low cost hire for the community to come together and play sport. Papa's is where GoodGym Lambeth meet every Tuesday evening.
