The Exercists

Ealing Report written by Sevan

Kash, Sevan and Steph ran from different sides of the borough to meet Clare at Northfield Allotments. This was the final task of the allotment's Halloween weekend... to exorcise the ghouls that had been plaguing the plots for the past few days.

As Clare led them into the allotments, past a dead body wrapped in crime scene tape, she pointed to the opposite side of the path. She matter of factly shared that police had dug up that plot for real in search of a real body 20 years ago, but nothing was found. Yikes.

Back to today's bodies, the GoodGym crew were sent out with a wheelbarrow to collect any spiders, skeletons or most scarily, bunting, which hadn't returned to the underworld after Saturday night's Halloween event. GoodGymers know that bunting can cause nightmares, so it was carefully removed from its stakes and neatly clothes-pegged together. Hopefully it won't cause any tangle tantrums at next year's setup.

Next, body parts and beasties were fished out of vats of water, spiders captured from their webs and Kash wrestled a snake out of a tree (check out the photo). Skeletons were put back into their cardboard coffins and moved to the "skeleton shed", with ghosts decanted into containment units. The team had to get particularly intimate with the old gardener skeleton as they needed to undress them before they were packed away 😳

With the allotments mostly back in order, Kash discovered the pumpkin graveyard where carefully crafted pumpkins had been placed on the compost heap. Was this a bad thing? Not if they were sacrificing their last days to feed the next generation of giant Northfield pumpkins.

Clare stayed a bit longer to wrap up the packing away. Kash, Sevan and Steph headed off to get some more exorcise, running onto their next jobs of the day.

Bunting was a bane of many poor GoodGym souls in the past indeed 😱

Many Bones About It

Ealing Report written by Ealing runner

Todays Mission brought GoodGymers to the drop-in session at the spooky Northfields Allotments, for final preparations and set up for the Halloween family event being held later in the day!

The day started bright and early with four GoodGymers on hand, Clare leading the charge for all the arrangements of the Halloween event, and with Kash, Sevan and Christos on litter picking duty along Radbourne Walk. Walking along the eerie entrance route of the event, the team picked up and disposed of bottles, wrappers and cans… and dug holes… clearing the path for visitors’ safety!

As the team made it halfway down the litter picking route, we welcomed some much-needed extra hands by Steph, Chris, Tish and later by A.B - now enough GoodGymers to divide and conquer the ghostly tasks at the Northfield Allotments, and spookify the Radbourne Way entrance route.

With Kash, Sevan and Steph continuing to make safe and clear out all the litter from their path, Christos, Chris and Tish were on hand with members from the Allotment community putting up decorated ropes and banners across the entrance route, swiftly carrying, connecting up the carabiners, and testing the batteries for the lights. But wait… this rope doesn’t fit across the walk… Some improvisation needed to rearrange the decorations and some creative problem solving with nearby trees to get all of the banners attached.

Lights checked and ready for the show!

What’s next on our list of tasks? Time to set up the tables and chairs in the main area of the event, with GoodGymers bringing out the Halloween-decorated table tops, attaching the legs and giving everything a spring clean before visitors arrive. Plastic chairs were carried out, as though appearing like ghosts from nowhere by Kash and the remaining group set to cleaning and wiping these down. Listening to the Halloween tunes played by A.B. helped to make quick work in setting up the chairs.

Some final odds and ends completed, and the Allotment was looking more ghoulish and terrifying! A parting comment by Clare for the completed tasks – “You really saved us today!

Looking forward to seeing the incredible event!

No Time to Gaff-a-round

Ealing Report written by Ealing runner

Extra help was needed today at Northfields Allotments to continue setting up for the sold-out Halloween family event on Saturday! This was just the task for four GoodGymers on Friday afternoon, with Clare, Christos, Roberta and Kash joining to continue decorating and preparing the site for the event.

The invaluable guidance provided by Clare to help our decorating talents shine through for this Halloween event – “More is more!!

And with that, the group were focused on decorating the inside of the food and drinks marquee whilst the rain was falling hard. Christos and Kash started out carefully tying up the Halloween-themed “Trick or Treat!” bunting to the inside of the marquee. But with more complex decorations, a simple tie was no longer an option. What to do now?

No issue at all when there is Gaffa tape on hand, quickly becoming the tool of choice to hold up all the decorations! Roberta ensured the eerie bat had a prime place looking down on us, and with balloons being blown up, this completed the Spooky-themed decorations in the marquee.

Still time for one last task… to set up half of the more than 100 pumpkins - that had been so impressively carved by the previous days’ GoodGymers - along the Pumpkin trail! The team made quick work spreading out the pumpkins across the trail in both directions, whilst admiring the ghostly, chilling, plots across the Allotments.

The task was finished up with a well-deserved tea and Jaffa cake, amongst the spooky decor!
