Another week, another lot of flyers for Age Exchange that needed to be delivered to spread the word about Age Exchange's Christmas Fayre. It's happening on the weekend if anyone wants to pop by!

We all gathered at Glass Mill and made our way up the hill to restart the flyering where we left off last week. At that point I left the group as I needed to rest my ankle so anything could have happened after I split the group into 2 and set them on their way!!

The groups continued where we left off and got most of the flyers delivered. The rest Paul very kindly delivered this week.

Hopefully they have a great turnout! Next week we are off to Florence Green to plant bulbs.

In tonight's task: Goodgym Greenwich foil the Rhubarb plot at Prince Phillip Maritime Collection Centre...

An unseasonably mild 5th November saw 8 GoodGymers make their way to Prince Phillip Maritime Collection Centre in Kidbrooke, where our tasks often involve gilded ceilings, or work in the thriving community garden.

A veritable rainbow of fireworks guided us on our run, and once at the task we sparked into life in the community garden area, cutting back some amazing smelling but slightly overgrown rosemary, weeding the woodchip paths, and clearing wilted tomato plants. A sad part of the task involved removing a giant sunflower (a definite sign that Winter is Coming...) but a cut back of the huge Rhubarb plant provided a great harvest we'll be stalking about for weeks.

The run home loomed, and we managed not to crumble, however being accompanied by the flash, bangs and whizzes of fireworks, poor Rhubarb was unable to utter the immortal lines of "It's all gone quiet..."

On Sunday we've got Clean up Charlton and next wednesday we're leafleting for Age Exchange.

Thank you all & catch up soon!

A dead-icated group of nine left Glassmill and went over a scary hill and were joined by four more at Seniors where our task was to make Stanstead Lodge Halloween ready!

A cauldron of bats, a coven of witches, a cluster of spiders, a clutter of spiders’ webs and a fraid of ghosts were fixed to walls, windows and ceilings. A terror-ific time was had by all.

We celebrated Jenny’s 500th GoodGym good deed, a real hallow-queen, such an important part of our community.

Afterwards, Vic was an absolute star, making sure that Diane from Seniors locked up safely and got to her bus stop.

Sunday saw us back at Woolwich Common for the monthly litter pick. We met at the Old College cafe with tales of the upcoming Greenwich Peninsula parkrun and cakes to celebrate Jennys 499th good deed (amazing work Jenny) before making our way off into the sunshine to the Common. On arrival we split into 4 or 5 groups and made our way in different directions, encountering different amounts of litter depending on which way we went. After an hour we were done, leaving the common a lot cleaner than when we started
