It started as every Halloween should – on a dark cold October night.

The sky was black and with every exhale you could see the grey mist of your breath.

The clock struck seven.

Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding ding, ding…

And, at that exact moment, a group of GoodGymmers, dressed in blood-red t-shirts, were to be seen shivering outside Herne Hill station.

What is with cold? Was it with terror?

No – it was excitement to be helping Herne Hill Forum clear up after the Halloween Party they had put on for free for the community!

As the final little monsters departed to do more trick or treating, we found there was skeleTONs of work to be done. There was SPOOKtacular sweeping, BOOrilliant balloon collecting, GOURDgeous gathering of decorations, TERRORific tent taking down and fiendishly good deeds happening all around.

Within the hour, we had Herne Hell transformed back into Herne Hill and we disappeared off into the night.

But just when you thought it was all over...

...Herne Hill Forum got in touch to say: "Hello - just to say thank you again on behalf of the Forum for all your work last night; as ever, having Good Gym there at the end makes a huge difference in being able to clear the street and get things back to normal as quickly as possible. Many thanks from us all."
