Agnes Riley Gardens - Pond Weed Warriors!

This week, our magnificent GoodGymers wheely outdid themselves at Agnes Riley Gardens! 💚

We joined forces with Harriet and the Friends of the Gardens for some serious pond-to-compost action. The mission? Transport mountains of freshly dredged pond weeds to their final resting place. It was time to get mucky! 🌿

The Dream Team 👏

A huge welcome to our fabulous first-timers Omkar and Bill - you absolutely smashed it! We hope this is just the beginning of your GoodGym journey. You’ve set the bar-row very high! 🎉

Our legendary regulars were back and better than ever: Ben, Perdie, Fi, Adam, and the amazing Tilly, who blessed us all with her heavenly brownies and meringue cookies (because nothing says “well done” like sugar and carbs after manual labour!). 🍪🤎

The Task 💪

Armed with garden forks, spades, and brooms, we got straight to work loading up our trusty wheelbarrows - affectionately dubbed Barrow Obama, Wheeliam Shakespeare, and Scarlett Jobarrowson - and sprinted them over to the compost heap. It was basically CrossFit meets gardening, and we were here for it!

Special Guest Appearance 🦎

Mid-mission, we discovered an adorable pond newt (now officially named Isaac Newt-on) chilling in the weeds. After a brief photoshoot, Sir Newt-on was safely returned to his watery kingdom. Long may he reign! 👑

The Verdict ✨

Another fantastic evening of fitness, friendship, and freshly cleared ponds! The gardens are looking gorgeous, our legs got a serious workout, and we all left with muddy trainers and massive smiles.

Until next week, GoodGymers! Keep running, keep doing good! 🏃‍♂️💚

Mission: Operation Deep Clean at Max Roach Park

This week, our magnificent mob of do-gooders descended upon Max Roach Park for what can only be described as a rubbish time (in the best possible way)! 🗑️

Tom from Lambeth Council gave us our marching orders: wage war on litter with the fanciest grabbers this side of the Thames. We’re talking haute couture litter pickers, darling! 💅

The Great Divide

Our troops split into two elite squads:

Squad 1: The Litter Legends 🦸‍♂️
Armed with our premium picking equipment, we swept through the park like a well-oiled cleaning machine. No crisp packet was safe. No stray cup escaped our grasp. We came, we saw, we picked it up.

Squad 2: The Bottle Top Battalion 🍾
Meanwhile, the bench crew got down and dirty (literally), performing emergency surgery on the ground to extract embedded bottle tops. Talk about getting to the root of the problem! Their determination was truly cap-tivating. 💪🏼

Our Cast of Cleanup Crusaders

Shout out to our usual suspects who showed up ready to make Max Roach Park sparkle:

🌟 Andrej, Dan, Tilly, Michael, Eric, and Jo 🌟

Special mention to Jo, whose homemade flapjacks provided the perfect fuel for our litter-fighting endeavors. Nothing says “community spirit” quite like baked goods that actually stick to your ribs after picking up rubbish! 🍪🤗

The Verdict

Another week, another park saved from the scourge of litter. We came for the fitness, stayed for the bins, and left with that warm fuzzy feeling that only comes from making your community a cleaner place (and maybe from Jo’s flapjacks).

Until next week, keep running, keep doing good, and remember: every piece of litter picked is one step closer to a trashy-free Lambeth!

Total Trash Talk: MAXIMUM 📈
Good Deeds Done: COUNTLESS ✅
Puns Made: TOO MANY 😄

Keep calm and carry on picking! See you next week, legends! 🎉

Mission: Rush Common Deep Clean

This week our heroic band of litter-busting legends descended upon Rush Common for what can only be described as a TRASH-tastic adventure! 💪

Tom from Lambeth Council had issued the call, and boy did we answer it with bells on (and brand new fancy litter pickers in hand)! ✨

The Mission Breakdown 🎯

Our crack team split into two elite units:

• Squad A: Armed with shiny new grabbers, these warriors tackled the park’s surface litter with military precision 🎖️
• Squad B: The bottle top extraction specialists, who gathered around bench areas like archaeological experts, popping those pesky caps right out of the ground!

Star Performers 🌟

🏆 Cutest GGer Award goes to Jo’s baby boy - proving that community spirit starts young! This little champion showed us all how to be absolutely adorable while saving the planet 👶✨

🔍 Discovery of the Week: Adam cracked the code on the mystical “bottle top pop technique” - apparently it’s all in the tap! Who knew physics could be so satisfying? Pop goes the litter! 🍾

Our Usual Suspects (The Good Kind!) 🦸‍♀️🦸‍♂️

A massive shout-out to our regular crew of community champions:

• Katie - crushing it as always!
• Dottie - back in Lambeth and we couldn’t be more delighted!
• Jenny - bringing the energy and enthusiasm
• Fi - not only did she clear litter, but she also treated us to DELICIOUS homemade treats! Talk about going above and beyond! 🍪
• Tilly - proving that teamwork makes the dream work!

The Bottom Line 📊

Another week, another park transformed from trashy to classy! Rush Common is now sparkling clean thanks to our incredible volunteers who know how to have a rubbish (good) time while making a real difference!

Until next week, keep running and keep doing good! 🏃‍♂️💚
