Islington Report written by Simon Fitzmaurice
On Monday evening, Area Activator Simon met with 6 local Goodgymmers (including first timers Bonnie and Florence- welcome!), and Rufous, a lively 10 year old border terrier at Caledonian Road Underground Station. We were all super excited to enjoy Easter Breaks and good times over the next week- trips abroad were planned, time away from classrooms and visits back home to see family- lovely stuff!
Together we walked to Caledonian Park, and met with the wonderful Gail, (who some of us know from Caledonian Park Junior parkrun) by the Tollacre Café and under the beautiful Victorian clock tower. Our objective for the evening was to shovel up as much bark chip as possible over the course of an hour, and to lay it on the new pathways around the woodlands near Market Road. The volunteer team have been really keen to allow this great North London park to be as accessible as possible for visitors during the Spring and Summer months.
Our crew did a smashing job over the course of the evening, and really contributed to this huge task. Well done everyone!
