We all (milk) float on, alright

Islington Report written by Simon Fitzmaurice

On a warm Monday evening, 8 keen Goodgymmers including first timers Mehmet and Martha joined us for a super pleasant run from Emirates Stadium, along McKenzie Road and over to Market Road Gardens (just on the border of Camden and Islington). Upon our arrival, we met with local gardening and green space expert Frannie Smith, who had agreed to spend here final session for Octopus Community Network with the Goodgym Islington crew!

Area Activator Simon and Frannie have been working together on projects in Market Road Gardens, Highbury Quadrant and Tufnell Park plant nursery since 2019, and we certainly hope to continue in the future! This evening, our main task was to give "Bessie", the Octopus Community Network's beautiful old electric milk float / laundry vehicle a complete clear out. The lovely little van has been used as a garden shed for years, but has now been sold to another project, raising funds for the charity. Together, we pitched in to give all of the interiors a good sort out and a bit of a clean, ready for Bessie's new owners! We discovered loads of forgotten tools, stuck at the back of he boot (litter pickers, loads of building merchant bags, useful planks of wood), all in good enough condition to be used towards future tasks.

Within 40 minutes, we had completely revitalised Bessie, and said Goodbye to Frannie for a few months (watch this space!). After our return trip to Emirates and the Arsenal Community Hub, we arranged to meet up at Memsaab Islington Indian Restaurant for our January Social and meet-up- good times, quality food, great catch ups!

Come and join us for our next Monday group run over to Caledonian Park and Clocktower!
