This week we met at Charlton House and (whilst warming up) shared what our ideal superpower would be. We're obviously quite a practical bunch, with lots of responses involving cutting out journey times by flying, teleporting and such-like. And a curve-ball from someone who shall remain nameless who opted for controlling people, before hastily back-pedalling to something a little less...concerning 😳

After a little run we arrived at Charlton URC to get on with some weeding and we did soon get the lawn back in order, getting rid of the invading alkanet. Our work done, we headed off for a run back to base and called it a night. Good work everyone and see you next time!

Yes, its another Musically-inspired GoodGym report...🎼"But Goodgymers are all around me & so the good deeds grow... 🙂"

The last Wednesday of the January Challenge dawned like the recent pink skies over the Charlton area, and 11 Goodgym-ers awoke to pass the time until tonight's task. 🎼Workin 9-5 helped with that, and soon 6.45 rolled around, time to 🎼Run the World...or at least to St Richard's Community Church in Charlton. Our task this evening was based in the back garden area of the church, continuing our valiant battle against the ever-present weeds in the area. All while trying not to get 🎼Blinded by the Light (of the many head-torches). The recent rain had helped soften the ground a little, making pulling up the weeds that bit easier, and it wasn't long before we had a veritable stack of vegetation. A quick dig over with the 🎼Ace of Spades and our work was done.

Great work all & a warm welcome to Alina on your first task!

Next week we're meeting at Charlton House for some weeding at Charlton URC.. On Saturday as well as the ususal Parkrun volunteering, we have litter picking in Sutcliffe Park.

Until next time!

Tonight, 9 Goodgymers met for a school reunion, taking us back to Charlton Manor Primary where we painted the town grey! (Well, some cupboard doors anyway).

After an ice-breaker discussing favourite nuts, a slightly stormy evening pushed us on our way for the run, readying us to brush up on our artwork once we got to the school. Here we continued our project of painting the key stage 1 hall, this time covering the wall of cupboards in a glossy grey. Teamwork makes a task run super smoothly, and with rollers, cutting-in brushes and a few stretches & climbs, our job was done.

Brazil-iant work all, and cashew soon!
