Croydon Report written by Conroy

Last night Today 13 runners ran 3km,to ECCO to clear litter along the boulevard and cut back the overgrown ivy.

We welcomed Paula to her first GoodGym outing, she had heard about us from a neighbour and liked the idea so she decided to come and have first hand experience of what a GoodGym session was all about.

Having received our instructions from Jerry about what he wanted us to focus on, we donned our hi-vis vest and embarked on our task. Due to working along the tram tracks and with safety being paramount we doubled up when required to ensure there was always someone looking out for oncoming trams and buses.

The group broke into little sub groups of litter pickers and weeders and hedge trimmers, Ingrid our resident litter picker was in her element wonder up and down the Boulevard looking for litter. Unfortunately for her there wasn’t much litter about which is also a good thing, because the people of Croydon cares about their community and keeping it clean.

At one point we even had Sarah, Nicola, Stephanie and Mo treating us to a performance of the candy dance, we won’t start selling tickets just yet to their performance however it was quite entertaining.

Elsewhere along the path the other members of the group, not having much luck at finding any litter downed their litter pickers and picked up secateurs and brooms (none was able to fly good thing we didn’t try to drown them) however they had a good system in place where the sweepers followed the cutters which meant at the end of the task we had less cleaning up to do as it was done immediately.

Despite being her first outing with us Paula seemed quite at home as she with her lookout Paul in toe worked on trimming the overgrown ivy along the tram side of the raised beds.

That old saying that never gets old “time flies when you’re having fun” because there was a lot of laugher in the group which despite the rain earlier and a few questions as to whether we were still running had all disappeared and drowned out by chatting and laughter. Must have been something to do with it being the last Tuesday of the month!

Next week we will be Flyering for Broad Green Big Local sign up here, there’s going to be a competition!!
