Lambeth Report written by Yianny (he / him)
The days are getting longer and the Lambeth team were down at Papa's enjoying the last rays of the sun as it dipped below the houses on Pulross Rd because it was Tuesday and that can only mean one thing - Group Run time.
This evening was a classic help out our friends session so we were heading out to post flyers for our friends at Get Rid of and Donate as well as some GoodGym ones to raise awareness of two awesome organisations (if we do say so ourselves).
Four members so Manos, Tilly, Katie and AA Yianny set off on a lovely loop through Brixton and down to Brockwell Park before heading back and starting the leafletting around the Rattray and Mayall Road block.
We had a decent chunk of flyers so divided them up but by 5 to 8 we were standing triumphantly by the side of St Matthew's Church with empty hands and a feeling of achievement!
So that's it, another great task and another fun evening. Big congratulations to Tilly for setting a new PB on her half marathon the weekend past, to Katie for hitting a double session trail run + GG group run and Manos who was back for his second ever session (one of the family now!)
Wednesday 2nd April
Emmanouil Bakantakis has done their first good deed with GoodGym.
Emmanouil is a now a fully fledged GoodGym runner. They've just run to do good for the first time. They are out there making amazing things happen and getting fit at the same time.

The evening's planned collab with Friday Night Lights didn't come to pass but that doesn't mean that Lambeth GoodGym wasn't ready to party.....
The team met as usual at Papa's and 6 trusty GGers including a new face were ready to crank up the tunes and head out to the task. The group offered a warm welcome to Manos for his first ever GG session - great to have you with us Mano!
We set off with AA's rather clunky speaker blaring out Motown hits through Brixton during rush hour and of course nobody batted an eyelid as many a stranger thing has been seen than a group of red clad runners partying to Ben E King and Bill Withers!!
On arrival at the Tulse Hill estate we were greeted by: - A very enthusiastic resident who danced with us in the car park despite being on CRUTCHES! - Alfred the very protective and excited dog - And our host Vinnie who had arranged the task for the evening
The task was a classic lift 'n' shift, grab all the timber and relocate it from the playground to the polytunnelas well as a massive roll of underlay and some pin boards, then dispose of the pallets by the recycling bins. We had serious muscle with us so while Alfred serenaded us with barking Ben, Manos, Scott, Tilly and Fi grabbed as much as they could and we were done in no time.
Task completed and Vinnie was delighted (Alfred maybe less so?) and so we loaded up Spotify to disco classics and were able to boogie our way all the way home.
Big thanks to all and see you next time (oh and Scott I'm expecting you to follow through on that 80s fancy dress in the coming weeks!)
