After the great painting work at the rehearsal space in Hanwell Community Centre by the Ealing group runners, four weekend-shift GoodGymers raised early on Saturday and came over to the cave of rock to continue with the makeover. This time we were hitting the high notes by patining the ceiling.

We were excited to welcome a new joiner. Madiha did a great job recruiting her sister, Saima, who came all the way from Portugal! The distance is a bit of a stretch but we hope to see Saima again joining other community missions.

The task had a little bit of slippage. After some comms on the phone (and some confusion as there was another Kash - not the GoodGym one - involved!), we were assured the person who is supposed to let us to the basement is on their way.

Once we got in, we used different tactics to reach the ceiling: Saima jumped on a very secure table, Madiha and Sevan installed their paintbrushes on the two poles available and Kash used the ladder which she found the most exciting option. We did what we could in one hour that we had for the task. The delay and our numbers didn't let us finish the job today but our efforts were nonetheless welcomed with gratitude.
