A dead-icated group of nine left Glassmill and went over a scary hill and were joined by four more at Seniors where our task was to make Stanstead Lodge Halloween ready!

A cauldron of bats, a coven of witches, a cluster of spiders, a clutter of spiders’ webs and a fraid of ghosts were fixed to walls, windows and ceilings. A terror-ific time was had by all.

We celebrated Jenny’s 500th GoodGym good deed, a real hallow-queen, such an important part of our community.

Afterwards, Vic was an absolute star, making sure that Diane from Seniors locked up safely and got to her bus stop.

14 of us gathered at Glass Mill ready to plant the bulbs at Florence Green. Paul kindly lead the warm up and brought the group up to Florence Green whilst I tried to walk as fast as I could so not to delay getting stuck into the bulb planting.

Subo had organised the bulbs by tree and we were each assigned a pack of bulbs to plant with a variety of tools. Some more effective than others... A variety of bulbs were planted including daffodils and aliums.

We then moved onto our next task for the evening which was removing the stakes from the hedges that we planted a long while back, only if we thought they were strong enough to survive on their own without support!

We were soon done and dusted with that task as well and it was time to head back to Glass Mill.

Welcome Joshua to your first GoodGym session - hope you had a wonderful evening and we'll see you again soon!

We might be visiting Florence Green again before the year is out as they're expecting another delivery of bulbs from the council.

Next week we are heading to The Albany to tackle a list of jobs in the garden and of course the usual litter pick of the perimeter.

Our task for this evening was to deliver as many flyers as we could for the over 60's dance classes at Trinity Laban. The group gathered at Glass Mill where we spread out the leaflets between bags and also traded hats!

With most of the group running to Deptford, myself and Marta walked and met the group mid-flyering. We spread out across the estate and I delivered some flyers to Trinity Laban reception to spread the word as much as possible.

It's quite difficult to take photos at a flyering tasks and also to keep an eye on where everyone is but we all managed to safely regroup and head for burgers!

Well done to everyone that ran the big half!

Another summer of keeping on top of the weeds at Luxmore Gardens! This week we had a bumper group of 13 of us ready to tackle the weeds or was it the fact Vic had said she was being a dog!!

Welcome Aisha to your first group run, hope you enjoyed it and we'll see you back soon!

As I'm still not able to run, Paul led the group up the hill to Luxmore Garden. There were rumours of did I walk or get the bus....I walked! And it was perfect timing for us all to arrive together and see what was in store for us.

What was in store was digging up the remaining weeds and the alkinet. As always we debated what was grass we could dig up and what was ornamental grass. Maybe next summer we'll find the answer to that.

Next week we're heading to Deptford to hand out flyers for over 60's dance classes and then heading for some food and drinks in Deptford after to celebrate the big half and recent birthdays! You'll only need to run one way or we could walk together.

Now enjoy lots of pictures of us with Wilfred!

It was wonderful to see quite a few signed up, some last minute sign ups and easily persuaded GoodGymer's joining us at a brand new task in Deptfod.

We didn't really know what was in store for us but what we did find was an amazing community garden tucked away from the street. I'm not sure you'd know it was there unless you were in the know.

There was plenty of tasks for us to get stuck into and our hosts were very excited to have us there. Once we divided up tasks, we all got stuck in. There was the standard alkinet removal, digging up some plants, sweeping up leaves, clearing under some bushes and then last but not least, sitting on a yellow chair to fill the buckets with water.

That leads me to mentioning it was Mo's last group run before his move to Geneva. We celebrated with some swiss rolls! We'll miss you Mo and thank you for all your hard work. You've been a big part of the group!
