In a day marked by resignation fever, 7 Goodgymmers stuck to their guns and ran up that hill to Stroud Green and Harringay Library for an evening of literary scrapes and giggles.

The Great eScrape

Our seven Goodgymmers joined Peter from the Friends of Stroud Green and Harringay Library on a balmy Wednesday evening for a spot of scraping. The outside of the beautiful library building  has been renovated but a section of the skirting was left unfinished at the time.

The Friends have come to the rescue and will be painting the skirting soon but they needed a hand from our GG heroes to prep the area for painting.

Our Goodgymmers scraped the skirting, getting rid of any loosened bit of old paint that might smudge the painting when it goes on over the weekend.

They also did a hard core pruning of some beautiful but spiky plants to offer easier access for the painters.

Before you knew it, about another gazillion ministers had resigned and our Goodgymmers got ready to leave. But not before playing a game of squat sprinting up the hill and as it was a draw by the time they got there, Neil found it appropriate to reward us all with a game of squatting Sally too. Aces.

After photos were shared on social media and a rather unfortunate textual faux pas took place in the group chat, we all ran our merry way home, refreshing the news websites for even more resignations shenanigans.

Join us next week when we'll be lending a hand to the Friends of Tottenham Green.

And don't forget to sign up for the Goodgym Rounders game next weekend - sounds like it's going to be a blast!
