Two tasks, many kilometres, much cakes and multiple pints

Tonight we celebrated an amazing 200 good deeds from Marie and gave a black T-shirt to Ruth. Huge congrats to both runners, who are fantastic members of the GoodGym community!

Group 1 was led by Tom Benson - they zipped off into the night on a 4.5km uphill stretch to Streatham, where we once again helped to clear out the attic for the Streatham Youth and Community Trust.

Group 2 stuck behind at Papa's for an extended warm up and some sprint work before heading over the road to POP Brixton. The urban farm there is used for school groups and adult education classes and we needed to help them pack it down for the winter. The more green fingered started repotting plants and the rest split between sweeping up the greenhouse, spreading woodchip and moving large oil drums with trees in them. This required some roly poly skill but we mastered it in the end and even gave them a good water. With some more fitness outside POP, we headed back to base.

Everyone got to enjoy Victoria's Italian bake off goodies and then we headed to the pub for some sustenance. Lovely stuff!
