Mission: Operation Windrush Sweep! 🧹✨

This week our legendary crew tackled the rubbish problem at Windrush Square (see what we did there? 😏). Armed with trowels, dustpans, black bags, and one trusty broom, we went full CSI: Litter Squad to give the square the deep clean it deserved!

The Highlight Reel: 🌟

🎉 The Return of the Legend! After a 5-year hiatus (we're not saying he was having a long nap), Harry made his triumphant comeback! We were so excited we almost threw confetti... but then remembered we'd just have to pick it up again. Welcome back, Harry! 🍻

🦸‍♀️ Our Core Crew of Champions: Fi, Dan, Tilly, and Michael (aka the Treat Master 🧁) showed up ready to sweep the competition. You absolute legends knocked it out of the park (and the litter out of the grass)!

We popped bottle tops, nabbed broken glass with military precision, and generally showed that litter who's boss. Tom from Lambeth Council sends his thanks – the square is looking rubbish-free and gorgeous!

Pun Score: 10/10 would pick again! 🎯

Same time next week? Let's keep the good times rolling and Lambeth cleaning! 💚

This week's mission: Litter Pick Bingo and Plastic Patrol! 💪🏼

TRASH TALK 🗑️ Our lovely crew proved that one person's trash is another person's...well, recycling! We gave an old favorite a new twist and honestly, it was RUBBISH (in the best way possible)!

Armed with bags and the Plastic Patrol app, our heroes combed the local area like environmental detectives, picking up every piece of recyclable waste we could find. We bagged it, logged it, and made sure it all ended up in the right bin. Because sorting is our cardio! 📱♻️

PICK OF THE BUNCH 🌟 Huge shoutout to our usual cast of legends: Fi, Katie, Ben, and Tilly - you absolute trash pandas! 🦝 We love you guys! Your dedication to keeping Lambeth clean while getting fit is truly un-RUBBISH-able! 🤗

STATS 📊 Keep your eyes peeled on the WhatsApp for our full haul - spoiler alert: we absolutely cleaned up! 🧹

THE AFTERMATH 🍻 As if picking up litter wasn't rewarding enough, tonight was a RUNNER MANDATED SOCIAL (the best kind of mandate, let's be honest). The whole crew headed to the pub afterwards to raise a glass to our success. Cheers to making the world a better place, one pint and one piece of plastic at a time! 🍻

Same time next week for more fitness, friendship, and doing good!

Mission: Operation Deep Clean at Max Roach Park

This week, our magnificent mob of do-gooders descended upon Max Roach Park for what can only be described as a rubbish time (in the best possible way)! 🗑️

Tom from Lambeth Council gave us our marching orders: wage war on litter with the fanciest grabbers this side of the Thames. We’re talking haute couture litter pickers, darling! 💅

The Great Divide

Our troops split into two elite squads:

Squad 1: The Litter Legends 🦸‍♂️
Armed with our premium picking equipment, we swept through the park like a well-oiled cleaning machine. No crisp packet was safe. No stray cup escaped our grasp. We came, we saw, we picked it up.

Squad 2: The Bottle Top Battalion 🍾
Meanwhile, the bench crew got down and dirty (literally), performing emergency surgery on the ground to extract embedded bottle tops. Talk about getting to the root of the problem! Their determination was truly cap-tivating. 💪🏼

Our Cast of Cleanup Crusaders

Shout out to our usual suspects who showed up ready to make Max Roach Park sparkle:

🌟 Andrej, Dan, Tilly, Michael, Eric, and Jo 🌟

Special mention to Jo, whose homemade flapjacks provided the perfect fuel for our litter-fighting endeavors. Nothing says “community spirit” quite like baked goods that actually stick to your ribs after picking up rubbish! 🍪🤗

The Verdict

Another week, another park saved from the scourge of litter. We came for the fitness, stayed for the bins, and left with that warm fuzzy feeling that only comes from making your community a cleaner place (and maybe from Jo’s flapjacks).

Until next week, keep running, keep doing good, and remember: every piece of litter picked is one step closer to a trashy-free Lambeth!

Total Trash Talk: MAXIMUM 📈
Good Deeds Done: COUNTLESS ✅
Puns Made: TOO MANY 😄

---

Keep calm and carry on picking! See you next week, legends! 🎉

Mission: Rush Common Deep Clean

This week our heroic band of litter-busting legends descended upon Rush Common for what can only be described as a TRASH-tastic adventure! 💪

Tom from Lambeth Council had issued the call, and boy did we answer it with bells on (and brand new fancy litter pickers in hand)! ✨

The Mission Breakdown 🎯

Our crack team split into two elite units:

• Squad A: Armed with shiny new grabbers, these warriors tackled the park’s surface litter with military precision 🎖️
• Squad B: The bottle top extraction specialists, who gathered around bench areas like archaeological experts, popping those pesky caps right out of the ground!

Star Performers 🌟

🏆 Cutest GGer Award goes to Jo’s baby boy - proving that community spirit starts young! This little champion showed us all how to be absolutely adorable while saving the planet 👶✨

🔍 Discovery of the Week: Adam cracked the code on the mystical “bottle top pop technique” - apparently it’s all in the tap! Who knew physics could be so satisfying? Pop goes the litter! 🍾

Our Usual Suspects (The Good Kind!) 🦸‍♀️🦸‍♂️

A massive shout-out to our regular crew of community champions:

• Katie - crushing it as always!
• Dottie - back in Lambeth and we couldn’t be more delighted!
• Jenny - bringing the energy and enthusiasm
• Fi - not only did she clear litter, but she also treated us to DELICIOUS homemade treats! Talk about going above and beyond! 🍪
• Tilly - proving that teamwork makes the dream work!

The Bottom Line 📊

Another week, another park transformed from trashy to classy! Rush Common is now sparkling clean thanks to our incredible volunteers who know how to have a rubbish (good) time while making a real difference!

Until next week, keep running and keep doing good! 🏃‍♂️💚

GoodGym Lambeth: Where fitness meets civic duty, and puns are always encouraged! 😄

🏃‍♀️🗑️ After a last-minute plot twist worthy of a soap opera, our heroic squad pivoted from their original mission to tackle the streets with some competitive rubbish collection. Nothing says “flexible fitness” like a spontaneous game of Litter Pick Bingo!

The Rubbish Results

Our magnificent crew turned street cleaning into pure bin-go gold, collecting everything from the mundane to the absolutely pants. Speaking of which, among today’s “treasure” haul were some bikini bottoms and underwear - proving that Lambeth’s streets really do have some cheeky surprises!

We’re not sure what story these garments could tell, but we’re betting it’s a brief one. 😉

The Dream Team

• Fi, Katie, Jenny & Ben - our usual suspects who never fail to pick up the slack (and everything else)
• Khai - our Greenwich guest star who traveled across boroughs to join the fun, proving that good deeds know no boundaries!

The Verdict

Another successful mission in the (bin) bag. The streets are cleaner, the community is tidier, and we’ve all had a rubbish good time doing it!

Remember: One person’s rubbish is another person’s fitness opportunity!

Next week: Back to our regularly scheduled do-gooding (underwear optional)

Despite some misgivings about the weather at about 3pm GG Lambeth did what we do and turned things around for th Tuesday Group Run!

We had a 100% meet up at Papa's for once and we were delighted to welcome Patrick to the team for his first ever session - great to have you with us Patrick!

The group was also honoured to receive GG royalty after a long time since the last royal visit - his highness John of Shirley came down from the North (of London) and bestowed his good graces on us, likewise great to see you down John.

We (including Tilly, Katie, Michael & AA) set off for a quick loop via Stockwell and then down to Max Roach Park to meet Father Nature (James) and continue the planting and clearing work on the Lavender Maze. The main task was to clear the weeds and other invasive species that were trying to muscle in on the maze and we had a nose full of lavender the whole time which was lovely - unless you have hayfever in which case this was a running task in more than one sense!

James also shared with us the success stories of local youth benefiting from the project and how grateful Lambeth Parks have been for the support of the volunteers as well which was great to hear.

By the end of the session the maze was looking much clearer and whether it was the pollen or the shared bond within the group we set off with eyes streaming and snotty upper lips.....

A huge thanks to all for another great session and we will see you next week for the next one :0)
