What a day: not only does your author get to link Simpsons favourite Ralph Wiggum into the report title (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Love_Lisa) but we also got to go back to one of the best Good Gym tasks, namely helping to assemble the model railway for the All Aboard club, an organisation that provides train-based play for children with special educational needs.

We we met by Richard, who must have hot-footed it over from the club's earlier session in Bromley (where they were, no doubt, ably assisted by Good Gym Bromley). We then set to work building our layouts, with, once again, the only real rule being that all our sections had to link up. After an hour's "work" the layout was complete and in came the kids, who looked like they were having a great time as we took our leave, with another task having been happily completed.
