Hi everyone and welcome to GoodGym Greenwich!
We're a friendly and social group who combine running with volunteering in the local community. We meet every Wednesday to get active and do a physical task for charities and community organisations in the area.
The Task
This week we will complete our first task at the Royal Garrison Church! This church is an important landmark in Woolwich. It was built in 1862 to serve the Royal Artillery and was bombed during World War Two. It's beautiful mosaics have recently been conserved and the church welcomes visitors and worshippers throughout the year.
They have quite a few bricks and stone slabs to be wheelbarrowed away from the front of the church.
This will be heavy and hard work so please take care and only lift what you are comfortable with!
We'll be returning for a community mission at the weekend to clear some of the brambles - sign up here: https://www.goodgym.org/happenings/de-brambling-at-st-george-s-garrison-church
The Run
We will be running from Charlton House which is a 2.4km run each way. You are welcome to join us at whatever pace - we never ever leave anyone behind!
Where & When
We meet at 6.45pm for a 7 o'clock start outside Charlton House The session will be about 90 minutes in total so we should be all wrapped up by 8.30pm.
What To Bring
This task is outdoors so headtorches will be particularly useful. Please bring some gloves and wear a headtorch and reflective gear as it will be dark travelling to and from the task!
See you then :)

Sorry to cancel this the day before but we are struggling for tasks this week and would have needed to list this one as a community mission. The team was very efficient last week and moved all the stone and our back up tasks aren't available. I think many of you are coming to the social on Friday so you will have the chance to catch up and celebrate then!
