Wow 42 of us helped Kentish Town City Farm last night with their May Day celebrations!!
Thanks for coming everyone, one of our biggest groups for a while! Welcome along to Tom and Katy whose first time it was last night.
In the news this week:
- It's the GG Monthly Social TONIGHT down in south London (Bromley) - go along for puns, fun and Pritesh!
- The GG Olympics is on the 30th June and Camden want a big team out there to keep our trophy! Gonna be awesome :)
- A huge well done to Sophie Hedges who is hitting 300 Good Deeds - this is seriously awesome and whole lot of good over the last 5 years!
Woah last night was pretty cool, there was so many of us that we had to split into two groups on our way up there, with Chris leading the longer group along the canal. Everyone bloody loves the farm so much as Frances said if you are having a bad day, seeing a goat makes you happy!
Kentish Town City Farm is Camden's touch of countryside, they are having May Day Celebrations on the weekend so we came to help set up. After being greeted by a big pig we split into the following groups:
Poo people: Led by Captain Poo (Thomas Samuels) a group of 10 shovelled and moved lots, lots and lots of poo from one site to a more accessible pile for the farmers - with Rosie and Sophie leveling it out.
Shit just goat real
Good movers: A team of 15 people lifted and carried 20 straw bales, 10 tables, 10 chairs and plenty of other things to be used for the activity area on the weekend. Good carrying!
Marquee Crew: Another squad of 20 people put up the marquee, this is a centrepoint of the celebrations and used for face painting and more! Getting the right poles in place and working as a team was key.
Well done all, over 40 minutes we made a huge difference and then got to chill with the goats, cows, sheep and more. After saying out goodbyes we hoof'ed back to base...
Thank you all for coming - we are back next week to unpack everything we just put up - sign up here.
A massive thanks to Rosie and the team for the capes, brownies and cards! Here's to the next 300 Good Deeds :)
PB out.
