Our first monthly afternoon litter pick at Germany Beck ended at the pub with local neighbours and two Goodgymers. A great time was had... which ended in a 'short-cut' through the woods with lots of laughing and double the time back, made for a good walk, but we might need more Goodgymers to supervise us next time!

4.15 rendezvous @ museum gardens main gate opted for scanning in punters Hmm @ my 1st ever go I unsuccessfully tried to use wrong end of scanner, D'OH but in 5min i was quite proficient @ this simple task.The day was a sell out so we worked like dogs getting crowd in pausing only for the unalloyed joy of people trying to get glass perfume btls thru security & having to leave a 100ml of Jimmy Choo in the dirt (play stupid games win stupid prizes) Ahem madam your ticket please, OMD were by far the standout act for me with many bands appearing to be tribute acts of themselves but a fun day was had 😁

Penny couldn't be with us due to routine maintenance on the ivory tower she resides in but undeterred we cracked on doing the same thing we do every week thereby negating the need for hierarchical management.However breaking news the last job of floor sweeping had been outsourced to a non GG volunteer so rudderless & without direction from Penny we clumsily lurched around like zombies unsure of our place in the cosmos.

Another fun Friday night setting up the clothes swap. Good to have three first timers for this task including Nada who got stuck in and will hopefully join us again soon.
