35 excellent runners gathered at Papa's Park for our group run tonight.
We said a huge Lambeth welcome to 6 brilliant new runners - Anna, Jessie, Emma, Isla, Kate and Harriet
Next, we heard about these exciting events coming up in Lambeth and our neighbouring areas:
- A community mission at Herne Hill Halloween party at 7pm on Thursday 31st October.
- A parkrun takeover at Burgess Park with GG Southwark at 8:30am on Saturday 2nd November.
- The monthly kebab chase meeting at 10am on Sunday 3rd November at BaBa Boom Battersea.
- A big GoodGym London social from 6:30pm on Friday 9th November.
Lots of lovely things to get involved with :)
It was also SPOTM week and this week's very well-deserved winner of a unique assortment of National Trust pens, Puregym freebies, a bookmark and possibly the world's smallest notebook was Shauna. Despite only joining GoodGym recently, Shauna is already on her 15th good deed and her 9th for October. Huge kudos and thank you!
And onto the main event aka tonight's task.
We split into two groups to run there, David and Charlotte leading a slightly longer run whilst George and Nicky led a more relaxed party pace troop.
On arrival, we surprised Karen with the size of our group but quickly split into teams, digging up stones around the veg plot, moving planks of wood and clearing the area around the Bug Hotel. After half an hour, Karen seemed very happy with what we'd done and we headed back to base to enjoy some delicious cake expertly baked by Becca and Angela
Great work everyone, thank you so much and hopefully see you at next week's group run for more getting fit and doing good.
