Well done to the team on another easy and super smooth service, extra kudos to the hosting crew for running the evening while being short staffed. They welcomed 19 guests and served a delicious menu of Asian cucumber salad, a hearty vegetable tagine, and freshly baked banana bread for dessert. The atmosphere stayed relaxed from start to finish, guests were happy, and the team kept everything flowing beautifully. Another lovely night all round!

Helping with packing away the Christmas Fair. This mission involved moving tables, dismantling chairs, and shifting numerous items from the hall into the storage container. The extra pairs of hands proved incredibly helpful for the heavier jobs and it was a great workout.

Post-Parkrun was spent helping Friends of Morden Park tackle a classic winter task: mulching the pathway. Armed with shovels and barrows, we made great progress spreading fresh woodchip along the path to help keep the mud at bay during the wetter months, making the path accessible and neat. It was a great workout of shoveling and wheelbarrow relay!

It was a lovely morning for volunteering as we supported with cheering on runners then scanning barcodes playing a vital role in kicking off everyone's weekend with a dose of active community spirit.

After GoodGymers helped to set up the fair yesterday, this afternoon it was time to clear it all away. We filled boxes, shifted them, dismantled tables, stacked chairs, swept up and left everything clean and tidy. The fair raises money to help the homeless so it's great that we could pitch in and be of assistance.

This festive mission took us to Deen City Farm to help transform the space, ready for Santa's Grotto visits. The team had a brilliant time channeling their inner elves. We worked on creating the enchanting scene: assembling Christmassy arches draped with lights, setting out candy cane pathways, and making friends with some polar bears.

What a fun way to bring some Christmas magic to the community. We are looking forward to being back next week for elfing duties, why not join us: https://www.goodgym.org/happenings/elf-support-at-deen-city-farm-0243bc94-e4ae-4faa-bf54-6436ae548cec
