We kicked things off at Old Spike and somehow managed to dodge the heavy rain as we made our way over to Old Alleynian Rugby Club. We had three newbies with us—Roland, Kamil, and Olga—great to have them along for their first Southwark Group Run!

Ian met us at the club and set us up with some weeding and patching up the pitches with seed. Once the hard work was done, we got our reward: a game of touch rugby. Ian then fueled us up with winegums before our run back.

After that, it was back to Old Spike and straight on to Brick Brewery for a well-earned drink and a good catch-up.

Some stellar clearing of a couple of beds in Crystal Palace Park tonight, right next to our regular Water Tower Base haunt, and a similar task in a way.

Invisible Palace look after a bunch of flower beds around the park and are taking on one that is particularly overgrown. Their volunteers had made a great start and we were continuing to clear out grass, weeds, brambles, bindweed and a huge buddleia.

We got a good workout in and made a really big difference to the space.

Nice one team 💥
