17 brilliant GoodGymmers gathered on a pleasant autumn (๐Ÿ˜ณ) evening, struggling to believe that it's actually September. Our hosts Tony and Taye weren't there to guide us in weed-identification tonight but fortunately, Mark had a big list of helpful tasks for us to do ๐Ÿ˜…

In classic GoodGym style, the main aim of the evening was bindweed-clearing (and fortunately, GoodGym Lambeth are well-practised at identifying this particular weed!) We were delighted to welcome Patricia for her very first good deed and hope that we'll see you again soon ๐Ÿ˜

After an hour in the wildlife garden there was significantly less bindweed than when we'd arrived ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿผ We gathered into a big bindweed pile for some bindweed-friendly disposal and called it a day.

There wasjust time for a group photo at dusk before we lost the daylight, and then Mark led a lovely fitness session for some impressively-energetic members of the group ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿผ

And that was that. Thank you everyone, great job ๐Ÿ˜„
