Lambeth Report written by Yianny (he / him)
The evening's planned collab with Friday Night Lights didn't come to pass but that doesn't mean that Lambeth GoodGym wasn't ready to party.....
The team met as usual at Papa's and 6 trusty GGers including a new face were ready to crank up the tunes and head out to the task. The group offered a warm welcome to Manos for his first ever GG session - great to have you with us Mano!
We set off with AA's rather clunky speaker blaring out Motown hits through Brixton during rush hour and of course nobody batted an eyelid as many a stranger thing has been seen than a group of red clad runners partying to Ben E King and Bill Withers!!
On arrival at the Tulse Hill estate we were greeted by: - A very enthusiastic resident who danced with us in the car park despite being on CRUTCHES! - Alfred the very protective and excited dog - And our host Vinnie who had arranged the task for the evening
The task was a classic lift 'n' shift, grab all the timber and relocate it from the playground to the polytunnelas well as a massive roll of underlay and some pin boards, then dispose of the pallets by the recycling bins. We had serious muscle with us so while Alfred serenaded us with barking Ben, Manos, Scott, Tilly and Fi grabbed as much as they could and we were done in no time.
Task completed and Vinnie was delighted (Alfred maybe less so?) and so we loaded up Spotify to disco classics and were able to boogie our way all the way home.
Big thanks to all and see you next time (oh and Scott I'm expecting you to follow through on that 80s fancy dress in the coming weeks!)

As AA Yianny had to travel unexpectedly the GG team stepped in and Fi kindly covered the group run this Tuesday.
Feedback from the team was that it was all fine and dandy. Fi and Ben ran together from Papas and met Paul, Adam and Michael at the task.
The group chopped 6 big holly bushes right back (with some secateurs) which took up the whole time available Helping to not block the windows and provide a bit more light ahead of spring.
Big thank you to Fi and the whole group for stepping in / up and delivering another excellent task.
See you all next time!

Let's talk about last night's session back with Simon at the Thorlands project. The group was neatly divided by those meeting at Papa's fir the Group Run, those running directly to the task and thise cycling so we had all bases covered fotness wise!
AA Yianny was delighted to hear stories from GGers or holidays just taken to exotic climbs (and not AT ALL jealous...) leading to fun conversations about covonut cocktails and low cost flights on the run down to the land of Thor.
On arrival the three groups we reunited and ready to kick things off in the frosty evening air. Spirits were nevertheless high probably due to setting off while it was still light out and our tasks were clear, dig over the next section of garden 1 and collect and barrow in the woodchip to lay down preparing the next phase of this project.
The great spirit led to GGers discussing the best way to attract more members to the Lambeth community with some 'innovative' suggestions on fancy dress shall we say being floated.... Perhaps one to file under let's revisit after the next GG social?
By the end of the session all the planned work was complete, Simon was happy (and won his battle against technology!) and everyone could head home knowing another great task was in the books.
Huge thanks to all as ever and see you next time :0)
