One man’s trash is another man’s, er, trash
5 GoodGymers made their way to help the Friends of Charlton Park in Greenwich.

There is the common saying that one man’s trash is another man’s treasure. And we’ve all heard of the person who gave Aunt Betty’s stamp collection to the jumble sale only to later find it contained the inverted Jenny (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverted_Jenny) or who came across a first edition of Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone in the local Oxfam.
It would take a tremendous optimist to find value in what Good Gym clears out of Charlton Park but undeterred 5 treasure hunters descended on Saturday morning to clean the park. The park is popular on summer’s evenings and your author had expected to find a lot of mess to clean up but it was pleasing that after an hour or so we maybe had one black bags full of rubbish. The pick complete and having failed to discover a discarded copy of Action Comics No.1 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Action_Comics_1) we made our merry way off.
