We kicked things off at Old Spike and somehow managed to dodge the heavy rain as we made our way over to Old Alleynian Rugby Club. We had three newbies with us—Roland, Kamil, and Olga—great to have them along for their first Southwark Group Run!

Ian met us at the club and set us up with some weeding and patching up the pitches with seed. Once the hard work was done, we got our reward: a game of touch rugby. Ian then fueled us up with winegums before our run back.

After that, it was back to Old Spike and straight on to Brick Brewery for a well-earned drink and a good catch-up.

We met at Old Spike before our group run to Old Alleynian Rugby Club. Our warm up was short as we were all suitably warm from it being a scorching day! We ran over to Dulwich and met Ian who put us to work. Some of us helped seed bare patches of grass and others helped move some sand. Our treat at the end of was a game of touch rugby and a chocolate! Those who did the run back we went via Dawsons heights to check the view of the London skyline at sunset.

Tonight we ran 3km from Old Spike to the Old Alleynian Rugby Club. We were met by Ian and were put to work clearing ivy away from the path. It looked a lot better but the time we were finished. As a reward we played a game of touch rugby after which was a lot of fun. Before we left Ian treated us to mini rolls to fuel us for our run back to Peckham.

Gemma, Rosemary, Will, and I set off from Old Spike after a quick warm-up for a sunset run to Old Alleynian Sports Club. There, we met Isaac, Sam, and Nathan, ready to tackle our task for the evening. Ian put us to work clearing the astroturf in front of the rugby clubhouse. We used the soil we removed to fill in holes on the cricket pitch, helping to smooth it out in time for summer. By the time we finished, the astro looked much better! As a well-earned reward, Ian treated us to Easter eggs before we set off on our run back to Old Spike for a cool-down. To end the evening we headed to the pub for a well-deserved drink.

We had 10 GoodGymers this week for our group run to help Ian at Old Alleynian Sports Club.

Ian split us into two groups with one group taking wheelbarrows of sand to put on the pitches and the other clearing the area around the back of the clubhouse. Once the group had finished with the pitches, they came to help move logs that were stashed behind the clubhouse.

After the task tonight the majority of us headed to Four Quarters in Peckham for the return of our monthly social after a few months without one.

We had 8 GoodGymers braving the cold for our group run to help Ian at Old Alleynian Sports Club.

When we got to the club, Ian split us into two groups. One group took loppers and saws to clear ivy from a tree near the small pedestrian entrance. The other group started clearing leaves at the entrance before being re-joined by the group clearing the ivy as we continued up the drive. A couple of people peeled off as we neared 8pm and the temperature dropped. Those left were rewarded with a bag of chocolate bars to share by Ian before we set off on our way back to Peckham.
