Undefea-table

After a week off due to poor weather conditions 8 GoodGymers were back ready to continue our work on project Sanctuary Garden. We enjoyed a short run to Kairos and already half way there, completed a spontaneous good deed as a pile of Sainsburys crates had fell into the path. Realising this was a hazard, Greame started to move the crates back onto a trolley and was assisted by Jackie and Nigel - nice one guys!

Arriving at Kairos (in the light for a change!) we were greeted by Hannah who had a 'menu' of tasks for us to choose from including digging, painting and flat pack assembling. Allan took on the flat pack challenge, Lil and Deb armed themselves with the paintbrushes while Jackie, Nigel, Laura and Graeme got stuck in with the back breaking digging and removal of the never ending rubble.

The rubble needs to be dug up to make way for compost so that the areas can be used for planting, Jackie and Laura were digging and filling bags with the rubble, while Nigel and Graeme lifted and wheelbarrowed the bags of rubble to the van out the front. Deb and Lilian were painting the insides of the newly erected planters with bitumen while Allan was inside wrestling with a the flat pack coffee table.

By the end of the session we managed to fill the van with as much rubble as possible and paint the inside of 2 and a half planters. The table wasn't quite finished but Allan was determined to stay longer and complete the job with the help of Graeme. It was decided that the rest of the group would run back to base while they stayed to complete the flat pack task.

Before the run back, we enjoyed some madeleines (not mandalorians) courtesy of Graeme which were delicious along with some other delights bought by Kairos and had a group photo around said flat pack table.

Excellent work team!

Table update - Half an hour later and mission accomplished, one complete coffee table which Allan never wants to see again! Well done and thanks to you both for staying on to get the job done.
