Clothes were flying off the racks at the St Joseph's Hospice Jumble Sale, unfortunately this was due to the gale force winds that overturned a couple of racks while we were moving them. Undaunted however, the crack team of new and experienced Goodgymmers descended on St Josephs Hospice for a favourite GG task - helping with the clean up after the Jumble Sale.

The sale was due to finish at 1pm, but bargain hunters were still eagerly searching through the hospice's impressive collection of clothes, CDs, books and furniture when we arrived. After splitting into two groups, we got on with the job of moving everything into the basement storage space. The organisers were evidently well prepared for the Goodgym whirlwind this time, making sure we knew exactly where things needed to go and helpfully labelling areas. Hassan, having done a previous tour of duty at the hospice even knew to circumvent the bottleneck (the single lift) and made sure the loading ramp to the basement was open. All in all, a smooth and satisfying mission which we finished ahead of time and Steve led the way to the pub for a well deserved pint.
