7 Goodgym Southwark members ran off on a slightly chilly Wednesday night to Elmington Community Garden...

We arrived, and were met by Mansur, Sam, Lindy and Jessie who joined us at the task. Together we hauled woodchip to three different parts of the Elmington Estate, making sure the soil stays moist in this dry spring and stopping the growth of new weeds.

For those that did run to and from Old Spike, Nathan had bought some sweet treats back from Colombia - que bueno Señor Wood!

Tonight, we went to Salvation Army in Nunhead to help Polis move some donations from the attic to a second storage location. The items were mostly furniture, often bulky and sometimes strange. We worked as a team and managed to move everything super quickly to create a wobbly mountain of things. Hopefully the items will find a permanent home one day!

Eight Goodgymers (including two newbies- Johnnie and Daniel) met this evening at Old Spike for our group run to Elmington Gardens. We had a lovely 3km run over while the sun was setting. Our plan for the evening task had been to move woodchip, however, we arrived to find it had been stolen! Instead we cleared the wildlife triangle and path or brambles and picked the litter. We made a wonderful transformation in 40 minutes ☺️
