Grab a pew & welcome to this week's run report! Greenwich GoodGym sprung into February with the second week of our 2-part task at St Luke's Church in Charlton Village.

An ice-breaker discussion on the joys of those first flower shoots peeking out as spring approaches ,followed by short but sweet run around the periphery of Charlton Park meant we were energised and ready to go as we met Liz, Church Rector, to update us with this evening's to do list.

From bubble-wrapping the lovely hand-carved nativity set, vacuuming the aisle and pews, to filing the hymn numbers, we had plenty to keep us busy. The DIY experts in the group dismantled a table, while some of us got to polishing the brass in the church (of which there's lots!) including plaques dedicated to local figures with possibly record-breakingly long names.

A polished performance GoodGym-ers!

Next week we're painting at the Montessori School And we're litter picking in Charlton on Sunday

Until next time!

Everyone loves a new GoodGym Task, and this week's did not disappoint!

With a starting point of The Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich, a slightly hilly run led this evening's team to St Luke's Church in Charlton Village. This beautiful building, with plenty of history, (some of it slightly spooky with the UK's only assassinated Prime Minister being buried in the crypt below...) is a key part of the village, used by many community groups. If you've ever run the London Marathon you may have been greeted by the Chariots of Fire theme expertly played on the church bells...! We therefore had lots to keep us busy, from cleaning candle wax off various surfaces, cleaning chairs and pews, to sorting educational stationery (testing colouring pens & bible quiz sheets). It helped that we had a printed to-do list to refer to as well as lots to talk about, hence the time passed quickly. I'm sure there will be lots more to do at our next task here next week!

Amazing work on the January Challenge & hope to see you all soon!
