Swap skip and jump

Saturday 4th January

Written by James Tilburn

A big turnout for both GoodGym and the public at the clothes swap this month, with plenty of task veterans and Mikael joining us at this task for the first time.

With people queuing out the door to get in, we all got our steps in and also kept things ticking over in the kitchen. Most of us also found an item or two to take home.

Don't swap till you get enough

Saturday 2nd November 2024

Written by James Tilburn

We were lucky to have four of us this month as the November clothes swap was very busy. It was Ana's first task and she got stuck in straight away putting out clothes. Me and Abi did the same whilst Leanne looked after the drinks counter.

Another successful clothes swap overall. The next one is already listed so sign up for some festive fun.

Swap to it

Saturday 7th September 2024

Written by James Tilburn

The first clothes swap of autumn meant lots of summer shirts and dresses being swapped for warmer clothing. The three of us got our steps in putting out the new stock and keeping the place tidy. After an hour and a half, the numbers died down and we were able to depart with a job well done.

Hangin' around

The queue was as long as ever for the first summer clothes swap! We helped the other volunteers put out the clothes and generally keep an eye on proceedings, while picking up a couple of nice pieces for ourselves at the same time. A lovely morning at this great community event!
