End of day egg-forts

Friday 3rd April

Written by Jade

An end of event session helping with the Easter Egg Hunt pack-down. Fortunately both GoodGym team members were early on site as the weather was getting gusty so we were able to help get a head start put everything back into storage, essentially running the morning's setup in reverse but with the added satisfaction of a successful event behind us.

Dismantling and shifting gazebos, folding down tables, and stacking chairs. We loaded the equipment onto the trolley for the short walk back to the storage area, then had the added challenge of counting eggs and stacking boxes into the available space making sure everything was organised and tucked away securely.

The art of adaptability

Friday 3rd April

Written by Jade

Original plans were to help out with the face painting stall, but with a full team of artists already on hand and the windy weather keeping things breezy, there was less canvas work to do than expected. True to the GoodGym spirit of adaptability there were other jobs covered off. Securing displays against the gusts and helping with clearing away recycling and rubbish to ensure the event area stayed tidy and welcoming for all the visitors despite the changeable weather.

A cracking start

Friday 3rd April

Written by Jade

We were up and out early (one for a run) and headed over to help with the setup for the Morden Easter Egg Hunt event. The mission involved plenty of lifting and shifting to get the event site ready - moving gazebos, tables, and chairs from the storage area to the main event space. With a short walk between the two, we made full use of the trolleys, turning the transport phase into a high-intensity morning workout.

Such a great way to kick off the day and help support with the heavy lifting and ensuring the community event was set up and ready - a cracking effort to start the easter weekend!

A just crate, clean up and catch up

Wednesday 1st April

Written by Jade

What a way to end the day! With the of the team headinh over to the Community Fridge to tackle a mountain of crates and recycling. It was a perfectly timed operation: we had one early bird getting us ahead of the game, a solid middle shift of organising and box-scrubbing, and a late-comer to finish things off with a thorough vacuum. Crate teamwork!
