Well, not exactly dancing but we were leafleting about the Community Hospice's Boogie Wonderland party night, and it was in the moon light...

After a short warm-up we headed off on a gentle run around the streets, leap-frogging each other to deliver the fliers through letterboxes.

Sue did the task with a broken toe - that's true dedication to helping out a good cause!

It's amazing how going up and down driveways and garden paths clocks up the distance and step count. And with six of us on the go we got the job done in no time.

That's one of the things about GoodGym, we try to keep our sessions short and sweet!

Next week it's all change for a spot of painting. Hope to see you there.

We had so much fun tonight, sorting out the musical instruments at Holy Trinity Lamorbey RC Primary School.

Jane, the Deputy Principal, explained that the music room had become a bit of a dumping ground and the time had come to give it a new lease of life.

We got busy adding the bars back onto xylophones and glockenspiels, restringing triangles and finger cymbals, mending jingle bells, testing the keyboards, checking the strings on guitars and organising the all the different recorders and percussion instruments into separate trays. 🥁 🎹

There was some spontaneous dancing with castanets 💃 , and our guitar-playing GG-ers gave us music while we worked. Our team photo was properly tuneful!

We'll be back in a few weeks to paint the music room so the nicely sorted instruments have a smart new home where the children can enjoy using them.

Tonight we got busy at Hurst Community Centre washing the outdoor play equipment used by Bexley Bears Nursery.

Things were pretty sandy from the sandpit, so our starting point was to brush everything down. 🧹

Then it was on with the rubber gloves and filling buckets with soapy water to give the toys a good scrub. 🪣 🫧 🧽

Tempted to sing while we cleaned, we had to be mindful of the ballet class taking place in the hall with open windows next to where we we're working. So there was plenty of quieter chatting instead.

Finally we sloshed away the suds with fresh water and the job was done in just under an hour. All ready for the children to play on tomorrow.

Next week we're indoors tidying the music room at Holy Trinity Lamorbey School. Variety is the spice of life with GoodGym. Come and join us!

This morning three Bexley Goodgymers helped out at the Hornfair Junior Parkrun in Greenwich. It was a lovely sunny but cold morning. We eventually found the breifing point and got to our posts ready for the off! The children were all fantastic runners and put 100% effort in to finnish! Well done to everyone who participated!
