I'm kinda, sorta tempted to copy and paste last week's run report here as tonight was less of a sequel and more of a remake. Like all the best remakes (think Peter Jackson's 2005 King Kong), it was even better than the original. Once again we had tea, once again we had biscuits, once again we had paint and once again we had hill reps. This time though we had more and longer hill reps! I could tell everyone loved this by the collective groan when I uttered the words "and now for five hill reps of this massive steep, long hill", or words to that effect.

To be fair, we had to do something as our destination of Greenleaf Road Baptist Church is about 1-minute's run from our base at Mirth. Fortunately, Walthamstow is not short of hills, so we didn't have to venture too far to find our Everest.

Anyway, enough of hills and back to painting. The crew done a right bang-up job tonight. This room is taking shape now and one more visit should just about finish off its transformation from its drab 1990's colour scheme to a lovely bright white.

That's about it other than a couple of important dates for the diary:

  1. This Friday quite a few of the Waltham Forest crew are showing up in town for The Unofficial GG10th Birthday Party. Please come along.

  2. As next month happens to be December. We thought a Christmas Party would be nice. Check out the details and register your interest here
