Monika and Maena set off to deliver leaflets for St John the Divine church, covering the Easter celebrations. Leaflets were delivered to houses along Blue Anchor alley (discovering some artwork along on the way) as well as Kew road and Michel Row. A job well done just in time for Easter.

Yes! It was believable, 5 Goodgymers braved the weather (was it rain, sleet, snow?). Who knows, but we all delivered invitation cards for the St John the Divine church, inviting the local community to their Christmas mass and celebrations. We all had our allocated streets to cover and quickly managed to deliver quite a few bundles. And I really looked forward to a good hot coffee after that!

Not all heroes wear capes, but some do...

This evening two dedicated members, Sam and Chris did just that to celebrate 250 GoodGym tasks each. The capes really did bring some extra hero energy to the evening as Chris set the pace for run training around Richmond Green and Sam found unexpected energy to join in, despite smashing an epic time at the Cabbage Patch 10 mile race the day before.

There were more heroics in the group too as the speed walking group discovered a crime scene by a car on the Green. They sacrificed their session to do the right thing and ring 111 to report the smashed car window and belongings strewn across the grass.

The rest of the group headed to the next stage of the hero mission, sweeping up and bagging leaves at St John the Divine, followed by some weeding.

The final leg saw a heroes' welcome for Chris and Sam at the Batcave/Stark Tower/Tap Tavern, where more members joined to raise a glass to their achievements. Cheers Chris and Sam 🍻

We played Easter bunnies this evening, spreading some joy and community spirit to drop Easter services cards for St John the Divine.

Meeting at Tap Tavern, the seven of us set off with our bundles of cards to the streets in the parish to battle difficult letterboxes, enthusiastic dogs and inquisitive Ring doorbells!

Always a good step maker, we each clocked up around 3.5km before completing the task, that's nearly 25km collectively!

11 helpful elves, reindeer and santa fans, hit the pavements of Richmond for a festive feast of good deeds! Delivering Christmas cards for not one, but two organisations - Richmond Good Neighbours and St John the Divine Church.

Starting at the Tap Tavern, cards were divided up for runners to deliver and walkers headed straight to St John the Divine to collect some of their cards and complete delivery to some of the streets in the parish.

One pair racked up nearly 4.5km of zooming about while walkers got at least 4000 steps in, a great chance for members to get involved in their own way.

There are more streets to deliver to for the church, have a look at our upcoming tasks if you think you can help.

St John the Divine church had asked for some help delivering Christmas cards in the roads around the big Richmond roundabout, and GoodGym was only too happy to help out.

It was a small crowd that gathered at our new meeting point of the Tap Tavern. Luckily though, the cards were not designated for delivery to specific addresses like in a previous mission - we just had to door drop the residences in a few key streets.

So the merry band of Xmas elves set off with a sack of cards, starting with the side streets off Kew Road and making quick progress through the stacks we each carried. We continued on to Church Road and the areas behind it, then divided to conquer the remaining spots on Sheen Road and Park Lane.

Card games over and pleased to have done our bit for the week, we headed off home to our Monday evenings :-)
