Back to our roots

Islington Report written by Dan Dunn (He/ him)

Six GoodGymers arrived on this sunny Saturday morning to help clear an unusable allotment bed which was covered with ivy, random objects and deep roots.

We cleared the whole bed making a big difference and it looked as good as new! Ready for growing and it will help with biodiversity in the area.

We also uncovered a forgotten bench and found time to give it a bit of a spruce up.

Canonbury Share

Islington Report written by John Shirley

Canonbury Square has been described by the Evening Standard as “London’s most beautiful square”. But it takes work to keep it that way.

There were several tasks to be undertaken, so it was good that six GoodGymers were on hand to assist. Dan and Byron worked on the composters while Alison, Emily, Ines and John shared the task of sweeping the paths. There was even time for some weeding before a coffee and a chat.

Byron Heffer completed their first run in a new area.

Curious? Byron has just run their first session in another area. For that explorative spirit Byron is awarded the scout badge. A Scout is trustworthy

So FIR So Good

Islington Report written by Simon Fitzmaurice

On an absolutely Baltic evening (2 degrees and threatening to snow!), 5 intrepid Goodgymmers met at the Arsenal Community Hub for Goodgym Islington's annual Christmas tree pick-up task! We began with a dynamic warm up on the Emirates Stadium slopes (much appreciated considering the weather!) before heading towards Whistler Street, and onwards towards Highbury Fields. Area Activator Simon even found a tree on route, and scaled a solid ascent and descent before dropping it off at the designated Islington council drop point outside the Highbury Leisure Centre.

Perhaps he was training for our next Goodgym Race Team: Met League Cross Country Fixture in Welwyn Garden City on Saturday 13th January?

https://www.goodgym.org/happenings/met-league-cross-country-welwyn-garden-city-274823d4-9ad0-4792-82e7-56681fbec46c

Upon our arrival, we split up into two groups- team 1 (Alison and Byron) headed to the North of the park, while team 2 (Paul and Adam) ran South, on the search of discarded Christmas trees. Within 20 minutes, we were able to drop off 5 trees from the surrounding area, ready to be recycled!

For the last part of our session, we decided to run to Paradise Park, by Freightliner's Farm to try a new area for Xmas tree pick-ups. This proved to be a great idea, as we found a Massive Christmas Tree in a church yard on route, and proceeded in directing this tree down McKenzie Road! Great job team! 4 more trees were discovered while we were making our way over, bringing our number to 10 recycled Xmas Trees on a very cold Monday evening. Wonderful work all!
