Once upon a time, in the ever-changing weather of East Finchley, our brave GoodGym Barnet heroes assembled at the Phoenix Cinema, ready to embark on a noble mission. Their task? To distribute leaflets promoting the cinema’s latest films. But alas, the leaflets were nowhere to be found! Undeterred, they shifted to Plan B—an epic litter-pick along the High Street.

The skies raged with downpours, but our heroes sought refuge in the Phoenix foyer, where they prepped for the battle ahead. Armed with litter pickers, they set out, rain or shine, to rid the streets of unsightly rubbish.

Beattie, with her keen scientific eye, analyzed every scrap with precision, leaving no piece of trash behind. Tom, the swift and strong, raced ahead, gathering the heaviest bag of rubbish, proving that speed and strength win the day. Lucinda, the finder of strange artifacts, unearthed a rare floral arrangement made from litter, earning her the “most unusual find” prize. Paul, the ever-wise strategist, coordinated equipment and worked alongside Tom to pack up a hefty load of debris. George, the rising star, quickly honed his litter-picking skills, and Rachel, the social glue, ensured teamwork was flawless, quietly filling bags without seeking glory.

In an unexpected twist, our heroes stumbled upon a car key—mysteriously abandoned, left safely for its owner. They cleared blocked drains, freed cycle lanes, and even unearthed a massive trash pile at a building site. Meanwhile, Gus, the superhero dog, sniffed out a ball, triumphantly adding it to his collection.

With their mission complete, the team returned to the Phoenix Cinema, where they tied up the Barnet Council bags and basked in the satisfaction of a job well done. Another victory for the GoodGym crew, leaving the streets cleaner and the community stronger!
