Wow, what a weird but beautiful sky we had yesterday evening. The winds were strong so we were all hoping that it would be behind us on our way back........ Last night we headed out to our friends at the Welling Community Hospice Shop. With a great reception on arrival as usual we were greeted with a welcome drink and smiling faces. Tonight they had a few tasks they were hoping we could help with, and help them with we did. We split up into 3 teams. Team 1 - Chalk Board painting. Team 2 - Toys off shelves, shelves and toys cleaned and them put back on display. Team 3 - deep cleaning and sorting out new kitchen area. It was then all hands on deck for a floor sweeping and moping. Boy that was our fitness session for the night :-) After getting so much done it was time to say our goodbyes, or should i say, see you soon's and we headed back along the High street for base camp Crooklog. Let me tell you that on our way back we passed the Welling Library and a task we done a couple of weeks ago and it still looked brilliant. It gives you a proud moment feeling knowing that all the work was done by our Bexley Goodgym team and that it has really made that location look so good. It was a pat on the back moment.

This evening we were really please to have two new faces at Goodgym Bexley. Big welcome goes out to Matt and David for the great company and the hard work you guys put in. I know for a fact that Greenwich and Bexley Hospice really appreciated your help and we loved having you with us. Hope to see you both next week.
