This task brought with it some good memories and a sad goodbye. Over the last 2 years GG Luton has supported projects at the Square Garden in Leagrave Park and sadly, the venue is being closed and opened up as a refurbished public space by the local authority. This meant that there was lots of equipment that needed packing away into shipping containers for safe keeping. Before getting stuck in on this task, I went for a 5k run with Lizzy which was nice as it was on a route we hadn't run together before. We did a loop around the estate and back to the park. When arrived back at the park, David, Tigger and the always smiling Abim were hard at work loading bits and bobs onto trolleys to wheel over to the container. As we were all present by this point, we set about the biggest task, moving the inflatable stage (already deflated). We all chipped in to get it onto a flatbed trolley and we had it safely put away in the container before you could say, " did Martinbring the cake". The answer of course was, YES. Well, some cheeky vienesse whirls. This was just to toast my recent GG milestone. So after helping to pack up the remaining items, including the marquee the project had been using. We all shared a delicious sweet treat and toasted a job well done. Great effort team, well done 👏
