GoodGym Merton hit the ground running (and cycling!) tonight for a fantastic session at Wimbledon Guild. A small group run, a couple of enthusiastic cyclists, and a determined solo runner made their way to the task to clear the area.

Armed with gloves and garden tools, what followed was an impressive flurry of weeding, and chopping back bushes that left almost three sides of the building transformed. Eight bags of green waste and a mighty pile of branches - not too shabby for a mid-week session.

The hard work didn’t go unrewarded. A sweet surprise in the form of cake gave everyone a well-earned boost before heading off. Thanks Jon for having us, we will be back in a few weeks.

A warm welcome to Jo - great job on smashing your very first GoodGym Merton task! Also to Jon for signing up as a member and a big cheer for Audrey, who’s now added the home team badge to her group sessions milestone. Lovely to have you all with us!

Next week is a big one with two group sessions and our 6-month anniversary social - plenty of chances to get your GoodGym fix. Whether you're a regular or visiting from afar, we'd love to see you at one, some, or all of the sessions so do come join the fun!
