Firstly, welcome to new Good Gymer Richard! Welcome to the gang! And great to have company on the run this evening and learn about your speedy running escapades.

Great to see Paul back along for tonight's task too and returning core members Bruce, Imogen, Pippa and David.

We were straight in to the task tonight as the job looked big. A serious amount of KGs in donations had arrived at the Salvation Army and we had to create some order in the chaos.

Life's biggest, most pressing and existential questions were quick to surface: is a fleece a jumper or a coat? And what about gillets? Should jeans be folded or arranged by size?

In 40 minutes the room was transformed and Beverley was very pleased. Aesthetics and levels of order did plague Imogen, Pippa and myself: should we introduce colour coding next time too for ease of browsing?
