One, two, three, four, tell me what this table's for

This week we were heading to the brilliant Portico Gallery to help sort some tables out that are used for the West Norwood Feast.

There were 37 people, which is an impressive turn out for a solid 8km round trip. After a nice warm up we headed off up the hills to the Portico. On arrival, there were some issues with the outdoor lights but those of us with headtorches got them on and we were able to get to work.

The tables needed to be graded on a scale of 1-4 from Good to BAD. The BAD ones needed fixing by John ahead of the first Feast in a few weeks time. Ruth, Vix and Lucy were the X Factor Table Judges and the rest of the runners worked in pairs to take their table for judgement before adding it to the correct pile. It was a beautiful circle of table judging excellence and in no time everything had been grouped and was ready to be put back on the metal crates ready for fixing or not.

A slightly more downhill run back to base was followed by stretches and a trip to the pub for our monthly social visit. Nice!

Thanks to Tom Hunter for the inspiration behind the title and this jazzy number by Feist.
