Find out about GoodGym TaskForce
Report written by Yianny (he / him)
Lambeth crew were back at it yesterday evening, making their way out in the lightening evenings to help out in the local community while having fun and getting fit.
First up we welcomed Scott to his first Group Run with GG - great to have you with us Scott! Scott was joined by GG regulars Tilly and Fi ready for a nice steady 3km run round Brixton and Clapham and back towards base.
Our regular Litter Pick Bingo session allows for some 'competitive' action by splitting up into teams and seeing who can complete the bingo card of litter items. The session not only allows us to tidy litter and dispose of recycling on the way but also have fun seeing who can find the most bizarre item which normally decides the winning team.
The call was made to go Tilly/Fi vs Scott/Yianny (Scott full of non stop energy even running between pieces of litter!) and so the two groups set off in search of treasure (waste). The competitiveness was such that both teams considered buying a chocolate bar or take-away in order to get the packaging but thankfully no such action was required.
By ten to eight we were back to share and dispose of our haul with all items barring PPE interestingly, collected by both teams. For the weird and wonderful we found a mohair coat, dog toy, pregnant cat (don't worry we didn't dispose of it!) and a single mattress.
Big thanks to all for a fun session and we move on to next week's session - see you then :0)

Apparently one of the least popular GoodGym missions, but I love it and think it makes a tangible difference to the local community. Great idea on bingo and splitting into teams- I will suggest this for Woking.

Thanks Rebecca, the group here like the session and it can be super fun if made mildly competitive! Let me know how you guys get on - good luck!
