A perfect evening for a bit of hard liftin' & shiftin' down at Loughborough Farm so what are we waiting for let's go!

AA Yianny was in a race against traffic to get to Papa's from out of London to drop off the keys with Lambeth Run Leaders Joao taking the group out this eve. In the end I made it and in the end no-one needed to use the hall - standard!

It was great to have Ellie back with us after a while away - she even brough some juicy GG insider info - although the veracity of said info is currently under review (it made us all laugh though!)

This evening's category was favourite childhood character with Billy Joe Armstrong of Green Day, Tony Hawk, Tigger among others that made an appearance.

We had Marie-Noelle and Paul meeting the group down at the Farm and Anthea and her team were there to show the crew what needed doing. Mainly it was shifting the heavy boards from one railway arch to another so that the Farm can complete its' move.

As ever the team got through plenty of work and Anthea was delighted so well done all!

We will be back next week - same time - same place -see you then.

Loughborough Farm
A patchwork of community growing spaces

The Loughborough Farm is a community food growing project in Loughborough Junction. The Farm is well attended and goes from strength to strength since its launch in August 2013, which GoodGym Lambeth contributed to. They are now in the process of building a network of growing spaces around Loughborough Junction on pieces of land that are currently derelict or underused. Food grown is for local consumption and volunteers get training that can suppport them in finding employment.
