10 ran to MENCAP to paint the dining room

This week we welcomed Ian who will become trainer for Ipswich in a couple of weeks and he helped with several aspects of the session. We began with a fun warm up led by Ian before setting off on the short run to the MENCAP Office where we were greeted by Grace once again. We quickly set to task coating everything that was not yellow already, except for the wood work which was painted white. A big effort from the team and we managed to cover everything and leave it looking good.

With the clearing up taking a little time we drank our tea (and one Coffee) and helpfully tidied up the biscuits too. we then grabbed a quick photo and set off into the night! Well, off to central park that is, so that Ian could put us through our paces. A fun circuit with various exercises involving balance and coordination was perfect to end the evening. We wish him all the best when Ipswich opens!

Next week we are preparing the interact garden for their garden party, and we have a long list of jobs! see you then!
