Report written by Katie Welford
This evening we welcomed lots of lovely new people and celebrated Tess's 50th run. What a good start!
We had two cracking tasks this evening - the shorter run was led by Beth. Here's what she had to say about it:
Following some confusion about where the woodchip had been delivered, we headed to Loughborough Junction farm to meet Karen and to help spread woodchip around the paths at the farm. We utilised anything we could find to move the woodchip, a couple of wheelbarrows, buckets and even a plastic bag. After about half an hour of shoveling, wheeling and spreading the pile was gone and any last bits swept up. With time to spare John lead us in a quick fitness session which required us to do impressions of rockstars, frogs and skiers.
The rest of us headed 4km up to Streatham to help the fantastic family support charity, St. Michael's Fellowship. They had loads more clothing donations for babies and toddlers that needed sorting into packs before being distributed to local families who need them. Everyone set about their spring, summer, autumn and winter collections with aplomb and loved being in such a positive space.
Do these shorts go with this top? Asked Andy. NO! Said everyone.
On return to base we enjoyed some stretches and bake off delights from Katie (that's me!) and the elusive Jay who got up at 5am to bake his. Now that's commitment!
The Loughborough Junction Action Group, or LJAG, is an independent group of volunteers who live or work in Loughborough Junction in south-east London.
