Report written by Paul Bown
20 Goodgymers ran 5km to help the Rose Bowl sweep leaves - plus finished with a time trial!
Welcome along to newbie Tim whose first time it was last night, lovely to have you join us!
In the news this week:
Back to what happened last night, after warming up we split into two groups. James led a team of 6 to leaflet for the This Girl Can Running Group in Islington, they dropped the leaflets on the way to the Rose Bowl.
The rest of us went straight to the Rose Bowl Community Centre via Higbury Fields and Balls Pond Road. This is a fantastic centre that looks provides education programmes, activities and counselling services to young people in the community. They've got a fantastic quad area and garden that is well used but at this point covered in leaves!
Party Ring Nostalgia
Our job was simple but big, to collect up as many leaves as possible across the space. Armed with brooms, rakes, shovels and bags we split into groups to get the job done. While everyone filled bags upon bags of leaves, a team of 5 was cutting back bamboo, trees and weeds - nice! Fuelled by hob nobs and party rings everyone smashed 30 mins of hard work. Well done!
After taking a group picture we headed back home slightly a different way and then did our monthly time trial!
Sign up for next week here when we will be returning to Mildmay Community Centre
