Nicole Wong completed their first run in a new area.

Curious? Nicole has just run their first session in another area. For that explorative spirit Nicole is awarded the scout badge. A Scout is trustworthy

Kung Fu Gooda

Islington Report written by Paul Bown

25 Goodgymers ran 5km to help Rose Bowl and Ramsey Flowers Group N1

Welcome along to the newbies - Emma, Matthew, Juliette, Nikky and Konstantina - thanks for coming guys!

In the news this week:

  1. September's Long Run will be led by Beth Nelson and Andy Cowan - full details here.
  2. Cross Country Season starts soon and we'd love for you to join, there is one race a month from October to February for £5. See more details here.
  3. We are going to Sofia in May 2019 for racing, spas and buffets - come join us here.

After all the news and various questions about biscuits we warmed up ready for the evenings activities. Then we were off, through the Emirates and over Highbury Fields while it was still light.

Our tasks were luckily next to one another, first there was Ramsey Flowers N1 Group which look after a public park and wildlife area, next there was the Rose Bowl Community Centre which provides services to the local community. Splitting into two teams, with Alix and James leading the Ramsey Flowers group and Steve and Graham leading the Rose Bowl squad, we got to work.

Where the panda's at?

The leaves are certainly starting to fall, over both areas teams swept and bagged them up. Steve, Graham and Frances got to work in cutting back and clearing away lots of the Rose Bowl's bamboo - apparently Islington's panda's hadn't been by in a while!

Over 30 minutes everyone did a fantastic job of weeding, sweeping and clearing both areas for both non-profits - totalling 8 rubbish bags and 2 large sacks of leaves, debris and of course bamboo. After a group picture we headed back to the Emirates where we did time trial - nice! Everyone was rewarded with biscuits - yum

Next week we are off to help Thornhill Square Gardens (and another task probably) - sign up here.

PB out.

Scoping it out

Camden Report written by Paul Bown

30 Goodgymers ran 6km to help to Scope Charity Shop on Camden High Street

Welcome along to Nicole whose first time it was last night - hope you had a good first GG! Also welcome to the GG Barnet Crew.

It fills me with great sadness to share that a fellow GoodGymer Jenny Spencer-Nairn has passed away, we send all our love and support to GoodGym Bristol, her family and friends. To start the evening we held a minute silence to remember her. RIP.

In the news this week:

  1. Please note we are back meeting at the Living Centre next Wednesday, it's the same building just the other side address here - 2 Ossulston St, Kings Cross, London NW1 1DF
  2. Come along to the social today in Hammersmith - Pritesh will be talking the talk. More details here.
  3. Goodgym is taking over Peckham Rye Parkrun this Saturday - we still need pacers, volunteers and general red tops. Full details here.

Some of the group had a very special Crick Institute Tour - see pictures in the report. Thanks to Abi for organising!

After warming up we were off to help Scope Charity Shop, this fantastic shop sells clothes, accessories and more to help raise money for people with disabilities. We ran just under a mile to get to the shop and to get tasking.

Queue & get your tasks here!

As ever Helen was very organised and had all the jobs written down to be handed out:

  • Six people including Hanry, Thomas, Rosie and Lucy sorted and priced up clothes, jewellery and accessories.
  • CJ and Katherine collected funds for Scope outside the shop - raising an amazing £7.50 between them!
  • Kat, Katie, James, Hayley and others sorted donations; ironed, tagged and hung up clothes ready to be priced up.
  • Steve and Jordi measured and hung trousers.
  • Chris and Tom cleaned and polished shoes before arranging them for display.
  • A team of 10 cleaned every inch of the shop and two floors above, including windows, display cases, stairs, the kitchen and toilet.
  • Frances and Abi set about picking some of the best clothes around the store to dress the mannequins - cool

Over 35 minutes we made a huge impact to our local community. Next we were off to Regents Park Inner Circle for a time trial and a run home.

Next week we'll be leafleting for Older Persons Services in Ashdown Crescent and gardening for Cecil Sharp House - sign up here.

PB out
