6 peace-loving Goodgymmers rolled with the punches in a feisty evening at Tottenham Green
Budding Ambition
The first rule of GGFight Club is... you don't mess with Niamh.
It was a very pleasant evening at Tottenham Green as we all came together, having made our way to task by running, walking, and even a short drive for our crutch-swinging Niamh. Laura took us to the tool depot to collect our toys for the evening and then... Enter the scoundrel.
Not all Goodgym tasks are created equal and alas, tonight's was an aggy one to say the least. One of the park users was a - how to put this delicately - a right twonk and decided to take offence at a group of volunteers spending their Wednesday evening cleaning up and weeding a public park. Go figure.
Although faced with a lot of aggression, our heroes remained polite and in good spirits - engaging in the tried and tested don't engage with flipping twonks in the park strategy. Or at least we did until the scoundrel took it a bit far and this is when he discovered the first rule of GGFight Club. To be fair, our Niamh put it back in his box very nicely, steely as she was.
Anyway, never ones to let an idiot ruin our party, we rallied and we cut down buddleias and sycamores to our hearts' content and did a thorough litter pick.
We took the time to find some old shoes, marvel at Dave's heart-shaped sweat patch, photograph beautiful spiderwebs before they were summarily obliterated, and banter about which GGHer would be the most likely recipient of a King's Honours List title (and what Gramps and Niamh would suggest the King do with them should they ever be offered one).
In the end, all's well that ends well and we smiled as we helped Laura put the kit away and hobbled home with our convalescent comrade. Just don't ever piss her off.
As always with thanks to Charlie and Niamh for today's punnery and photography.
Join us next week for a new task!

I LOVE BEING A LOSER
Haha. I forgot about that particular pearl of wisdom 🤣🤣🤣
Good Gym are the peace and love club. We twinkle in twonk company.
Ah the wonders of random twonks. I do love it when they see us running and ask what we are doing, as if they've never seen someone run before. Good work you guys!
