22 Goodgymers ran 4-6km to leaflet for Green Gym and sweep leaves for Castlehaven!
Welcome along to Miki, whose first time it was last night! Lovely to have you along.
In the news this week:
It was a bit chiller than predicted but we were still out there doing good and getting fit - nice!
Green Gym Leafleting:
Chris and Frances led a group each to leaflet for the wonderful Green Gym, a group that organises monthly outdoor tasks in the community, a bit like us but no running.
Leaflet fun!
Frances' group headed to Kentish Town and Tufnell Park area to circulate around 150 leaflets, meanwhile Chris' team headed to Primrose Hill area to deliver there's. The most exciting thing that happened was a passerby telling Steve he has nice legs!
Castlehaven Community Centre:
The rest of us headed to Castlehaven to finish off a task we started three weeks ago. This fantastic community centre have big plans for their Nature Area, but before they can get started they need all the leaves cleared from the compost area (where they put all the leaves in Autumn from the two parks).
Armed with rakes, grabbers and big sacks we got to work collecting all the leaves up and then dragging the sacks to area for recycling. Good work! We then headed along the canal for a run back to base - lovely jubbley.
Sign up for next here where we have a new task helping Age UK and we'll be back making beds for the homeless.
PB out
The Centre provides a variety of community activities and opportunities for people of all ages, cultures, abilities and backgrounds. 'Whatever your age or ability, we have something for you.'
