Loads of excellent runners did some fitness and then gave a white wall another lick of paint at Brixton Community Base
We were heading to local community space Brixton Community Base but were not able to get in until 7.45. With that in mind, we did an extended warm up and fitness session in the basketball court. We did some nice balances, calf and ankle strengtheners and John H showed us some skiing and figure skating moves, which made us all look silly but our legs will be ultimately grateful.
After a little bit of speed work we headed over to BCB. There was a top room that needed painting so some of the group set about giving it another coat, whilst the rest of us did some more running outside. On finishing the job it was back to our base - Papa's park - for some stretches and heading off home.
BCB provide a vibrant base for local arts, community and fitness groups. They hire the halls for rehearsals (as featured on the BBC), workshops, evening classes, children’s activities and meetings. They also manage community projects such as Brixton Youth Theatre for local children and young people.
