Benches, Weeds, and Wimbledon Dreams 🎾

Greenwich Report written by Rachel Henry

On a warm summer evening, the lovely GoodGym Greenwich crew took a short dash to Charlton Manor Primary School to lend a hand in their nursery garden. The mission? A mix of bench painting and weed-busting to get the space looking spick-and-span for the little ones.

Paintbrushes in hand, we gave the playground benches a fresh coat of colour while the rest of the team tackled overgrown patches of the nursery garden with gusto. It didn’t take long before the place looked greener, neater, and definitely more welcoming.

During our weeding adventures, we made a surprising discovery: 15 tennis balls scattered around the garden....Perhaps a mini-Wimbledon had taken place without us? (Very on-theme, with the real Wimbledon just around the corner next week!)

To top it all off, a group of curious fox cubs peeked out to watch us work, clearly approving of the transformation.

A good workout, a tidier garden and some brighter benches for the kids to enjoy. Game, set, and match to us!

This weekend we've got our river walk and weeding at Mycenae gardens. Next week to kick off July we've got a new task in the woodland garden of the memorial hopsital. Be prepared for a run up shooters hill for that one 😁

Until next time!

Mind the gap was a good de-fence

Greenwich Report written by Julian Osman

Today we were back at Maryon Park community garden, a wonderful space that has been lovingly run by Edna and Tim for many years. Coming here has always been a favourite task for Good Gym Greenwich and it was nice to be back. The tasks today were manyfold; the garden having become quite overgrown in places and a gap had opened up in the orchard that needed to be plugged to make things safer.

So to work, and two of the team worked to plug the gap using some old pieces of fence (with some masterful manoeuvring needed to get said fences to the orchard), two of us set to trimming overhanging foliage and the rest of us set to removing copious numbers of weeds.

And karma was kind to us: despite a terrible weather forecast the rain held off for the whole session and after an hour’s hard work we were done. As usual Tim and Edna had generously provided snacks and we also benefited for some lovely leftover cake that Cat had prepared for her book group (thanks Cat, it was lovely).

They got us hooked

Greenwich Report written by Rachel Henry

Yesterday 8 of us gathered for a foray back into Charlton Manor Primary School.

The task: paint the cloakroom, cubby room and construct a load of crates for the kids to throw their coats in rather than across the playground when they get hot.

Julian and Sarah got to task outside, putting the crates together with Joe. Meanwhile the rest of us got to work painting walls and skirting to freshen up inside. 45 flying minutes later and all the crates were up and most of the cloakroom and cubby room given a fresh lick of paint.

Good work team!

Next week we're at St Richards with a Naval College start.

Until next time!

The One with Two Parts: Episode 2

Greenwich Report written by Sarah M

Grab a pew & welcome to this week's run report! Greenwich GoodGym sprung into February with the second week of our 2-part task at St Luke's Church in Charlton Village.

An ice-breaker discussion on the joys of those first flower shoots peeking out as spring approaches ,followed by short but sweet run around the periphery of Charlton Park meant we were energised and ready to go as we met Liz, Church Rector, to update us with this evening's to do list.

From bubble-wrapping the lovely hand-carved nativity set, vacuuming the aisle and pews, to filing the hymn numbers, we had plenty to keep us busy. The DIY experts in the group dismantled a table, while some of us got to polishing the brass in the church (of which there's lots!) including plaques dedicated to local figures with possibly record-breakingly long names.

A polished performance GoodGym-ers!

Next week we're painting at the Montessori School And we're litter picking in Charlton on Sunday

Until next time!
