Report written by Susan Lee (She/her)
Eleven Goodgymers came along to tonight's task for our 9th birthday. What a great turnout!
We were back at Box3Education, helping transform their unit in Bexleyheath Mall into a community space. Walking through the closed mall to get there was a little surreal!
Professor Levi met us and we soon got started with painting metal shelving units, and there was a lot of them!
We got stuck in with brushes and rollers, being super careful not to get paint on the nice floor. (Thankfully there were industrial wipes available to mop up drips!). While we worked there was lots of talking and banter, with a few jokes and hot drinks thrown in!
I noticed some black paint on my GoodGym top... I only had my-shelf to blame!
The session flew by and it was time to wash the painting gear and make our way out of the mall.
We then headed to the nearby Wetherspoons where Lisa and Graham had secured a large table for us.
The evening continued with food, drinks and more chatter, plus a chocolate Connie Caterpillar cake complete with candles and a rendition of 'Happy Birthday To Us'! Nine years of doing good and social fitness in Bexley - that's a brilliant milestone!
A great night was had by all, thanks for coming everyone. Here's to the next year!
