At the beginning of a hot and sunny week, we celebrated by heading to a local arts and theatre charity to help wash their many, many (many) windows....
It was great to see some familiar faces back again as well as our lovely regulars, and we started off the evening with a very energetic warm up. Check out the height on that skipping!
After a burst of activity that activated our muscles we set off through the sunny and bust streets of Wandsworth for the mile run to the Omnibus Theatre, a local arts hub that engages young people and aims to bring theatre and the performing arts to everybody in the local community.
Before we got stuck in, we had a quick guess about how many panes we would actually get done, with the estimated ranging from 17 all the way into the 70s.
Armed with sponges and buckets we wiped, washed and buffed our way from window to window leaving nothing but streak free shine in our wake. The theatre was really pleased with the job, so well done on completing a sparkling task. The panes were carefully counted and verified and I can reveal that we managed an amazing 58 windows...incredible work! To celebrate a job well done we headed over to a heaving common for a fitness session that saw us attempt a game of clusters and then take on a hot and sweaty circuits challenge. You all smashed it!
All that was left was some stretches and then off to the pub for a social where Annabel gave us a brilliant hack which resulted in free drinks all round - and very well deserved they were too.
Next week we're back at Doddington roof garden where there may or may not be compost to transport... you can sign up for more Monday fun right here. We also have the GoodGym rounders this Saturday, hope to see as many of you as possible there for what promises to be a very fun afternoon!
