and 7 GoodGymers to deliver the flyers for the over 60's dance classes

We set off from Glass Mill with a well laid plan to head past the area that we flyered a couple of weeks ago and tackle the flats and houses on the other side of the main road. We also agreed to meet Jacqueline at the end of the road but she was nowhere to be seen...

We continued our plan and split into groups to tackle the flats and houses in Deptford to hopefully deliver flyers to our target group and spread the word about the "pay what you" dance classes.

Meanwhile, I'd shared my located on whatsapp and ran back to find Jacqueline at the meeting point, no sign of her, ran back to the other meeting point, decided to go for a wander, check out if we could flyer a block of flats, decided it probably wasn't the safest thing to be wandering around in the dark on my own. Then I heard this familiar voice: Kim stay still, stop moving around" I'd finally found Jacqueline!!

Onwards we went to locate one of the groups and found Marta and Julian efficiently delivering flyers. We also managed to get a tip off that we could get into one of the blocks of flats through a broken door.

I headed off the meet the other group and reunite us then all very cold by now we headed back to Glass Mill.

Amazing job in the cold weather but we spread the word about a great community initiative!

We joined the Friends of Lesnes Abbey and Woods for their monthly litter-pick.

Today's star find was a Dracula Pez dispenser!

Aside from this it was rather slim-pickings on the route we took, but we had some laughs as we looked out for rubbish along the woodland paths and around the abbey ruins.

We'll be back in a couple of weeks for the Friends' conservation session. We'd love to see you there!

Normally your author would start the report with a summary of the task, but today seems a perfect opportunity to remember who we are and what we bring.

So firstly, I want to shout out our newest member, Cecliia, who has just dived in to Good Gym, doing not one but three missions on her first weekend of Good Gym volunteering.

And secondly, we have the genius of Khai. Many of us are happy to write run reports but struggle with a good pun for the title. Khai has made this task so much easier with many amazing suggestions including today’s report title.

And so to the task. Today we were back at St Richard’s church hall in Charlton to continue clearing the garden of weeds. For some time, we’ve been slowly clearing out the weeds, the alkanet, the general overgrowth and the brambles. In fact, one of the tasks today was bagging up the huge pile of cuttings we’d cut down on Wednesday. Four of us got down to work digging and cutting and after an hour we’d cleared a huge space. And dare I say that, after many months of work, we’ve finally cleared all four sides of the church ready for them to start work on creating a paths and green spaces or all of the local community to use.

Well done to everyone involved. Our next run is a rare Thursday trip to perennial Good Gym favourite More2 childcare https://www.goodgym.org/v3/sessions/group-run-helping-at-more2-nursery-6826c8ed-1377-414f-bb6e-91f3aaf528cb
