I was hoping to be really witty and write the report in the style of the lyrics to Ian Dury and the Blockheads "Reasons to be Cheerful Part III" (Google it) but alas there weren't enough GoodGymers attending or enough task items available at tonight's task for me to compile a clever long ditty. So here's the report in the normal style.

It was a third visit to Swindon's Central Community Centre to finally complete the painting of the stairwell that had been started by Simon and Charles on the first visit with Simon and Helen completing the 'middle bit'. Kirsty, Gaby and Charles were on hand to complete the job of sprucing up the door frames and skirting boards located at the top of the stairs. The main concern was to try and ensure that no paint got splashed onto Kirsty's multi-coloured jeggings, but thankfully no jeggings were harmed in the making of tonight's task. However Gaby somehow managed to get paint on both the top of her head and onto the bottom of her shoe! With the three of us beavering away we managed to complete the job in no time at all, and the stairwell now looks bright, clean and fresh.

We've suggested that we can come back here another time and spruce up some of the other rooms in the centre. I hope we do, as it's a lovely little task that is easily accessible for everyone to get to, so we hope to see more of you at the next one.
