7 Goodgymmers hustled and huddled on a chilly North London night as they leafleted on behalf of Trees for Streets.

Can yew believe it?

Believe it or not, we had some much fun a few weeks back leafleting for Trees for Streets that we had to squeeze another session in.

Encouraged by the knowledge our last session had resulted in a few trees being sponsored in our neck of the woods, we put our sneaks on, grabbed our face warmers, Gramps even considered long socks at one point, and we all headed towards the Harringay Ladder for some good, old school leafleting.

Oh, and we leafleted. We leafleted real good.

Rung by rung, we started covering the ladder at speed. All the while we discovered that Latoya may turn parkrun 50 this weekend (work permitting - watch this space), that Gramps will not wear long socks after all even if his life depended on it, and Niamh arrived fashionably late and then proceeded to enlighten us on the finer details of the law regarding... erm... check notes.. erm... I think I need to consult my lawyers before I commit this one to print. I guess you had to be there for that one :)

Before you knew it, 8pm was upon us. Dave had to peel off but the rest of the crew decided to sneak another rung on the ladder before we called it quits. Rebels.

While we took some selfies, Niamh came up with a frankly preposterous High Five, a double dip of an elbow bump and high five. Gramps described it as the Salt Bae bump. We'll see if it catches on.

Fun times.

Don't forget our social Moselle River walk this weekend - it should be lots of fun.

And we'll be back next week on Wednesday for some more japes and capers - join us!

7 indus-tree-ous Goodgymmers paced the streets of North London, flyering for the wonderful Trees for Streets.

Kudos Corner

Sam the Conqueror laughed off Covid just a mere couple of weeks ago and got back in the saddle, racing her way to her 200th Good Deed tonight! Hero!

Also, a busy running weekend saw our Julie and Sarah tackle the Manchester Marathon, our Niamh and Dave smash the Camino Epping Forest Ultra, and our Charlie speedy-gonzales his way to his first ever half marathon at the Royal Parks. Speedsters galore! <3

On Wednesdays, we smash the pa-tree-archy

The good folk at Trees for Streets are on a mission to give London another push to become a city forest and at Goodgym Haringey we had to get involved in the party.

Heroics started the night before when Lizzie from TfS was let down by a courier but undeterred, she commandeered a hire car and traversed London town to deliver a very heavy box of leaflets to good ol' Gramps.

Tonight at HQ, both Charlie and Dave turned up looking fresh after their speedy exploits from the weekend and joined Nurj, Geraldine, Kapil and Gramps in celebrating the wonderful Sam as this was her 200th Goodgym Good Deed. We had vegan jellies and badge maths shenanigans.

We then ran a rather hilly route towards the valley at the bottom of Alexandra Palace where our efforts were to focus tonight. And before yew could say 'who put Bella in the Wych Elm' our Goodgymmers had divided into two groups: one led by Sam, the other by Nurj and Geraldine and we ran on opposite sides of the road, leafleting to our heart's content.

After about 45 minutes and 4k later, we came to a halt before the group's timekeeper had a chance to tell Gramps off for overrunning.

Selfies here, more vegan jellies there. And a nice run back to HQ. An ace eve.

Join us next week when we're visiting the Friends of Tottenham Green for more fun and games.

And while we're at it, however punnily tangentially, fuc* the patriarchy.
