An awesome 33 GoodGymers ran between 4-9km to help Cecil Sharp House, delivered 500 leaflets for Veg Box and collect Christmas trees

Welcome along to Alejandra and Farrah whose first time it was last night, we also had lots of second timers who attended last week and various regulars out for some January fun!

In the news this week:

1. TODAY there is the first GG Monthly Drinks of the year at the Beehive in Tottenham, hosted by GG Haringey - go along!
2. On Saturday there is the GG Islington Starter Session helping Comption Square Gardens (NEW TASK) - bring your friends!
3. JANUARY CHALLENGE - GoodGym nationally is aiming to complete 5000 Good Deeds and run 50,000 KM's - get involved and get those numbers in for Camden

We split into three groups to do three tasks across Camden. Here is what you did:

Group One to Cecil Sharp House (4km) led by PB:

Covering 2km on the backstreets of Camden on the way there we arrived to see Susannah and prepared everything as normal. This has been a monthly task since June 2016 and it's a great one. Splitting into three teams:

1. Freya and Frances swept and cleared the front of the building of cigarettes and other nasty stuff.
2. David and Lucy bagged up twigs, branches and sticks which had littered the lawn with the recent windy weather.
3. Everyone else scoured the huge flower bed, clearing it of leaves left over from December.

After cutting up a Christmas Tree we ran back to Somers Town, on our way picking up two trees for recycling!

Biggest leaflet sesh ever!

Group Two leaflet-ed for GG & Vegbox (8.5km) led by Katesh:

Combined they are Katesh, Kat and Pritesh led a team to Kentish Town and the Gospel Oak area to ditribute 500 leaflets for Vegbox and 100 leaflets for GoodGym. They covered an impressive 9km around the area and got rid of them all, that's amazing!

Vegbox is a fantastic local scheme organised by our partners Green Gym - read all about it!

Group Three Christmas Tree Collections (7km) led by Krosie:

Rosie and Katherine, both awesome taskforce members are now known as Krosie. They led a team of eight people to the Kentish Town area to find, collect and recycle Christmas trees. This is the last week we will be doing this fun task - everyone has done great!

Market tree-research

I hear Hanry and Ben climbed a lot and Team Krosie got an impressive 29 trees!

Lots of fun guys, thanks for coming - see you next week we are off to Castlehaven and Skip Garden - both regular faves! Sign up here!
