Discover Welling
Discover Welling is a community group which aims to help highlight all the good things about Welling as well as finding ways to help enhance the community spirit of Welling. We exist to build on what is good, not complain about things.

Welcome to GoodGym Bexley!

We're a friendly and sociable group who combine exercise with helping out in the local community. We meet every Wednesday evening to get active and do a physical task to help the community organisations and charities in our area.

The task

Having put up the Remembrance poppies on lamp posts along Welling High Street a couple of weeks ago, for this session we're helping Discover Welling take them all down again!

We'll be saving the poppies and the cable ties to be reused next year. A very environment- friendly approach ♻️.

A headtorch would be useful, if you have one.

πŸ“Where and when

The task starts at Welling Library on Welling High Street (Bellegrove Road, DA16 3PA) at 7pm.

Walkable

You will be able to join a group walking to the task if you'd prefer not to run.

Options are available to run between 3km and 4km in total

Remember that we run/walk to and from the task, so you'll only be running/walking for half this distance in one go.

This is a standard GoodGym group run. If you're worried about any aspect of the session, contact us.
