‘Tis the season and a man with a whit(ish) beard and dressed in (some) red and some (distinctly unelvish) helpers set out to spread some Christmas cheer at Hornfair park in Charlton. We were met by volunteer Angus in the rose garden who had with him a number of spare bulbs that had been generously been donated to the friends group and which Good Gym were there to help plant. John, Khai and Julian got straight down to work and 40 minuityes later what had seemed like an infinite supply of bulbs were in the ground ready to spread some fresh joy in spring.

Thanks are once again due to Good Gym resident punster Khai for another (Christmas) cracker of a pun.

It was great fun cheering the children and parents around the 2k course at Hornfair junior parkrun.

High fives and smiles galore!

We had fun helping at Hornfair Park junior parkrun.

We marshalled with giant foam hands giving high fives to the runners.

We did timekeeping at the finishing line.

We handed out finishing tokens.

We scanned barcodes to give everyone their results.

And we cheered a lot.

Happy Sunday everyone!

A team of GoodGymers helped out as 28 children took part in the very first Hornfair Park junior parkrun in Charlton - filling in a gap in the local junior parkrun map and hopefully giving a boost to this forgotten-about park. This will be a regular GoodGym task, although you might have to bring your own cake in the coming weeks...

Five of us joined the Friends of Hornfair Park on Sunday to help out with the parks first PARKSfest. And a good turn out it was, with great community spirit and no incidents that we were aware of other than the toilets running out of soar which Sarah quickly solved with a trip to Co-op! Let's hope it was the first of many fairs in this park. Bring on some beer at the next one :)

Nice one team!
