Tower Hamlets Report written by Laura Williams
Tonight we headed to a brand new task on the Isle of Dogs! No fewer than 9 GoodGymers were greeted by Anne-Marie from the Island House Community Centre in Roserton Street to learn more about what we were doing this evening.
But first the fitness
A good-sized group joined at St John’s Park for tonight’s fitness session.
This well-lit local park housing tennis courts and well-tended gardens offers great views of the Wharf. A brilliant location for a quick workout!
We enjoyed our usual upper body stretches this evening, accompanied by a few laps of the little park, some squats and tricep dips on the benches.
We also welcomed Tom and Lovisha to their first GoodGym session!
Strolling up Manchester Road we were joined by Lobo and Fiona, before heading in to the warm community centre.
A well-prepared task
Anne-Marie was ready and waiting with bundles of equipment for tonight’s painting task.
We headed up to the large hall, opened doors and windows and set about mixing paint, laying dust sheets and turning radiators off.
With six teams initially spread out over the hall, glossing cupboards and coating radiators (and let’s not forget tackling some very high beams for cobwebs) we thought this would be a speedy job, but with careful painting and a clean-as-you-go attitude, the time slipped by faster than we imagined.
In spite of starting the clean-up effort at around 8:40, it was still nearly 9pm before this dedicated team were heading out (GoodGym Golden Rule #135: Never leave a task messier than when you arrived).
This was a brilliant effort from everyone, and we look forward to Part II of this task , when we return on Wednesday 3rd April!
Until then.
