After giving our arms a solid workout gardening at HANGOT, a number of GoodGymers decided it was only right to give our legs some exercise too with a post-task social at the Hanwell Hootie.

First stop was Momentum Coffee, where we refuelled before crossing the road to Hanwell Clock Tower to catch some of the afternoon’s buskers. The line-up did not disappoint, featuring a solo singer-songwriter and one of Hanwell’s finest musical institutions... the 40-piece Hanwell Ukulele Group (HUG).

From there, the group split off to explore the many artists performing across Hanwell’s pubs and outdoor venues… but somehow, all roads led back to the main stage at the viaduct meadow.

A number of GoodGymers had volunteered to help with the Hootie set-up and pack-down, and were kindly rewarded by the Hootie team with festival t-shirts and queue-skipping wristbands - a very welcome perk given the popularity of this brilliant volunteer-run free music festival!

Perhaps the best part of the afternoon was bumping into GoodGymers all over Hanwell. A wonderful reminder of the fabulous community spirit of the Hootie and GoodGym!

The trio Libi, Melissa and Steph Ducat stayed to clean the kitchen and service area. They were joined by Katarina and Jp shortly joined by Rainu - wow 6 Goodgymers on the cleaning shift. The cleaning was done in a blink of an eye - super heroes!!The whole area was spotless and Arul was impressed with the smell that came out of Jp bucket when cleaning the floor - secret cleaning recipe?

Happy Easter All.

Lunch time and it was time to rock and roll in the kitchen and service area. Melissa and Steph Ducat were in the kitchen to serve food and they were joined byLibi who decided to stay and help. The trio platted the dishes before they were handed to the service crew where Jacquie was handing over the food to hungry customers. As good Friday, it was a fishy day : Salmon with lemon served with potatoes and green beans or stuffed peppers with the veggies on the side.Then came cake with hand made cream.Something fishy in the air but the customers loved it. The team served food and started cleaning pots and pans to avoid stating behind with all dirty pots. Some take away dishes were provided once everyone had been feed.

All customers and volunteers received Easter eggs - Happy Easter all.
