31 Goodgymers ran 6km to help Kentish Town City Farm pack up from their May Day Celebrations!

Welcome along to all the newbies - Carolyn, Abby, Lucy, Ollie and Shelley - lovely to have you along!

Okay lots of news. Back to last night - after warming up we headed 3k to Kentish Town City Farm to help them pack up from their May Day Celebrations. They raised over £5000, the best event they've had in 47 years!

We met Mel who explained what we needed to do but also that the Trustees are trying to bring in redundancies and close some of the programs. To read more and to sign the petition go here.

Gazebo fun

Our task this week was to take down all the chairs, tables, stands, boxes and more from the top field to the bottom of the farm for storage. Half the group did that, while the other half took down the gazebo. We had some initial problems with height but it all worked out in the end.

Once we were finished we hugged the goats and took a group picture before heading home.

Sign up for next week here when we'll be helping Cecil Sharp House.
