Thank you to Graham for stepping in to lead the run from Print House to Cody Dock for me,knew running wasn't going to happen for me due to a migraine.

We welcomed back Martin for a return visit to Newham and it was also great to see Paige back.

Julia one of the awesome team met us at Cody Dock and let us know what we can look forward to at the Spring Forward event,also go to look inside at the new visitors centre....opening is imminent.

We headed down to Star Lane and split into 3 groups to cover as many roads as possible to post our leaflets to let as many residents as possible know about the upcoming event.

Well done to Rosa,Hilary,Eugene and Graham managing to run to,from and during tonights session after the awesome effort of your trail half marathon in Wales....wow those hills(see photo of elevation they ran)

Well done everybody for this week’s task helping care4calais organising their donations.

Four of us met at the start point, with two joining us at the task.

Great fashion find this week was a pair of half leopard print jeans. Why would anyone give them up?! (Kitten/pirate tshirt is still there in case anyone’s wondering).

Two volunteer police officers amongst us making sure we felt super safe, with some discussion of getting the tasers they’re now entitled to.

Favourite national days was the thought provoking random weekly question this week, prompted some discussion of whether pancake day counts, world book day was a contender and no trousers on the tube got honourable mention. It was actually national homemade soup day on Tuesday… so.. y’know….wow.

Hackney adventure playground next Tue evening, so if you’re up for some adventure…

T’was 15 nights before Christmas, and all through the Printhouse, only 6 Goodgymers were stirring (and probably a mouse or two).

The mission was the Christmassiest of the year, wrapping presents for the kids to spread some Christmas cheer, Our host Rosie made the task nice and cosy, The wrapping stations were ready with a drink and a snack, To make sure it was good Christmas craic, We listened to a few Christmas songs that were a bit cheesy, We had lots of pairs of scissors so the present wrapping was easy peasy, Next week we’re planning to do an Xmas social, maybe pop open some fizz, So if you fancy it get signed up and join us for a Christmas quiz
