Three GoodGymers met inside Salvation Army Nunhead for a mighty GoodGym mission. Lifting and shifting books from a cupboard on the ground floor to the attic space on the second floor.

Unfortunately, the scope of the task changed at the beginning as it was not only lifting and shifting bags of books, but to catalog and re-bag the books in the categories of Children, Cooking, Travel, Hardback and others (all other soft backs). This meant Sam had to stay upstairs to sort out the books whilst Stuart and Julian carried bags upon bags of books up two flights of stairs. Julian stated afterwards that he didn't need to hit the gym today as his legs had their workout! 💪

Out of the tens of bags, they brought up, only a fraction of them were sorted by Sam. Yet, he promised Polis (task owner) that he would finish it all off on Sunday morning.
