Thursday at 6:15pm is GoodGym Windsor Night! πŸ‘‘πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈπŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ

Tonight we were at Windsor and Eton FC CIC to due to the weather to instead help in the clubhouse removing some paint that had not been applied properly and was easily coming away. Was lovely to see the tables we had sanded at previous sessions all smooth and painted β™₯️

Zoe, Devon and Mandy had a social run from The Binoy to the task and Jen, Brenda and Caroline met us there.

It’s was Brenda’s first Thursday session and it was her 10th πŸ‘πŸ» Goodgym task so huge well done Brenda!

We were met by task owners and given the indoor task due to the incoming rain. Zoe picked some 80s tunes and we were supplied with scrapers to get all the paint off the wall panels. It was very satisfying watching the paint just peeling off. Then a sand down was required to ensure the surface was ready for painting. It was one of those tasks where it looks like we made it worse 🀣 but it needed to be done. Then we tidied up and gave it a quick vacuum.

We just about scraped through 🀣 one wall so we may have to finish the others another time.

Mandy insisted on a bit of footy action ⚽️ (there was no e-scraping it) with the sponge ball at the end although I don’t thing any of us will be asked to sign up for the team 😬

A quick curtsy and bow πŸ‘‘πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈπŸƒπŸ»β€β™€οΈand we made our way back.

Thank you as always for attending πŸ‘πŸ»
