Kevin and I ran into Cody Dock to be greeted by Basia who advised us of the change of plan for tonight mission.

Instead of watering,painting and oiling we would be moving,shifting and erecting.....

Hilary,Graham and Rosa opted for a walk along the River Lea this evening,which is completely understandable as they got their marathon training run in that morning.

Charlotte ,Mathew and Miriam came from the less scenic side of Cody Dock.

Cable unplugging and gazebo transporting was the first job on Basia and Simon's list of jobs to be completed...then came the heavy lifting....picnic benches needed to be relocated before gazebo erection could begin..definitely a full body workout tonight finishing the session with some gentle bunting hanging stretches.

We also participated in a photo shoot (ensuring good product placement) as part of The Line promotion of their new art work(photos to follow)

The reason for the move,lifting,erecting and hanging is for Cody Docks first public event of 2021

On Saturday 11am- 5pm they are having a picnic....more info in the photos.

We shall be helping out at the event so sign up to come and help out for a couple of hours or bring a picnic and enjoy the sits and sounds of Cody Dock.

Then some of us again headed to the pub for refreshments.
