Tower Hamlets Report written by Laura Williams
It was a beautiful evening for a good-sized group of GoodGymers to join Margaret and Ash on the Hollybush Estate last night.
We were once again working in Rocky Park, on the continuation of the overhaul of the community growing site.
(Only recently the Rocky Park Urban Growers were winners of the Tower Hamlets in Bloom award - see trophy in group pic).
Marvelling at how much Margaret and Ash have achieved in the short time since our last visit, we were soon dispatched to four sites across the small area to shovel soil before depositing into newly constructed planters.
Working in small groups of 2 and 3, it was an active, productive and very sociable hour.
After posing for the final picture complete with trophy, we gathered to celebrate Ilana’s birthday with John's phenomenal cake, and Lucinda's mysterious candles, before heading to the pub to continue the celebrations.
We return to Hollybush at the start of June for a Friday night special!

Tower Hamlets Report written by John Shirley
Never mind the Bank Holiday, GoodGym Tower Hamlets were out in good numbers for another visit to Margaret and Ash’s community garden. We met two new Good-Deeders – and 50% of them even managed to find the notoriously tucked-away Rocky Park in time! Good to meet you Ellie and Elena, hope to see you again soon. We also welcomed back Priscila, who was already heading for another GoodGym session the following night. And we congratulated Kitty and Michael on their recent Marathon efforts.
Our main task was to dig three large holes into which to insert olive trees which had outgrown their plant pots. We set to work so quickly that we’d soon excavated three deep, wide pits, into which the trees were carefully re-housed with the addition of some compost, and now have plenty of room to expand and thrive.
Additionally, we were tasked with weeding the neighbouring area, having eventually reached a consensus on the vital question “what is a weed?”. We also picked a few bits of litter which were blighting the area – including an unfortunate rat which had met its end midway across the grass.
Next Monday night we’ll be helping at Ocean Youth Connexions in Limehouse. See https://www.goodgym.org/v3/sessions/the-big-monday-night-task-may-visit-to-ocean-youth-connexions.
And don’t forget you can join one of our quiz teams at the Coburn, near Mile End and Bow Road stations, next Sunday. Sign up at https://www.goodgym.org/v3/sessions/quiz-time-at-the-coburn.

Hackney Report written by Sooz
It’s finally Gaze-built!
A strong team of hardy GoodGymmers heard Anne's calls, and responded in FORCE.
This amazing group spend 2 hours prepping, peeling tape, lifting and drilling to finally achieve the holy grail (wrong movie franchise) and put the roof on the gazebo.
Nathan as usual brought his calm and engineer prowess; Kareem held the fort (literally held the roof on!) as everyone participated in lifting and shifting it into place.
From the very first session with Anne, Jess, Nathan and Sooz, we've all been invested in the result!
It has been a labour of love and we've finally completed it.
I wish I had more Star Wars puns, but alas, escape me they did.
