Once upon a time, on a slightly windy and far too cold Tuesday evening in April, 4 adventurous GoodGymmers, Richard, Tanya, Helen and Meyrick ventured out once again to help the British Heart Foundation in their annual book moving exercise.

To explain, there are two British Heart Foundation shops in Bath, you could almost call them Bookends to each other. One has a giant storage room in the basement, the other does not. I guess, over the year, book donations build up in the one that can't store much and a tipping point is reached. That is where GoodGym step in.

We've done this for them over the years many times, and all that is required is that we move books from one shop to another. It's a short walk for sure, but the books are heavy. Usually they have a logistical solution for us, and this year it was in the shape of a massive wheelie bin.

In truth, the mighty GoodGym could have carried all the books across by hand well within the hour we had to complete the task, but the wheelie bin helped speed up delivery time and we were done in half an hour. Client satisified, we made our way home and everyone lived happily ever after.
