We are more than a number, but as GoodGym #1 to #9 turned up to the Bedminster Lantern Parade HQ, we were assigned our tasks by the aforementioned numbers and went about our role.

Most of us had the challenging role of traffic control, and found out that lots of people really want to go to Aldi at 6pm on a Saturday. Additionally there was the added excitement of Bristol Rugby finishing a match 117:19 what a result! With bemused spectators who hadn't seen the signs which had been up for two weeks...

The parade itself is a lovely community event showcasing the best of Brizzle spirit, with some amazing lantern creations and designs by adult and children.

This was Sian and Erika's first community missions so I hope you enjoyed it , as much as the rest of us.

Till next time,

Matt
