It wasn't just good Jim

It was GoodGym plus. Barbara had brought along reinforcements in the shape of her sister Jackie - and we really needed that extra pair of hands which have become a regular at this task! Along with Ricky, Belinda and John that gave us an (in?)Famous Five to head into the task.

It's a task that has become familiar to us over the past few years. To get all evidence of the Summer Fayre removed from sight, so the building can return to it's primary purpose as a 60 bed veterans care home.

Nothing's too tacky for us

Fridges were emptied, bunting was taken down and neatly folded. Temporary posters were removed and disposed of with the blue tack delicately removed and kept ready to stick again.

A gathering of chairs

Inside and out, chairs were moved and stacked. Then they were wheeled round to the storage shed, which could well have earned the title Hothouse today. To ensure they all fitted, the chairs needed stacking as high as possible. With one of us on constant lookout for Ms Elf and her sidekick Safe T, we tilted piles and cajoled chairs in the best we could. The best work was definitely achieved under the seated supervision of John and Barbara. Could be a model for future GoodGym sessions.

It's a wrap

A quick walk around the centre looking for wayward chairs, and checking we had covered our list, we headed back into the sunshine.
