Only six of us braved the slightly concerning forecast last night, including newcomer Scott! He joined Jen, Joel and myself jogging the short distance to our task, where we met Jess and Sallyann, and our host Jennifer.
We were shown to the Scrap Store, a treasure trove of crafting items, but in need of organisation. Thankfully, there were lots of shelves that needed also needed organising.
Jen demonstrated her inner Stacey Solomon and rallied us all into getting things into place. We moved shelves, cleared spaces on the floor, and Jess put countless rolls of fabric onto shelves.
And as a reward, it was dry for those of us who ran back!
A great task, and loads of sorting done for Artists at the Meadows. Thanks all for coming, and a big well done to Scott for starting with us on a wet January evening!
See you soon

8 Goodgymers braved the cold and rain and made their way to the meadows shopping centre where we were kindly let in by Jennifer ( and the security guard) into the warmth of the Artists at the Meadows Gallery.
Our task tonight was to do a bit of tidying in their upstairs store room which was overflowing with weird and wonderful items. After a bit of dressing up we got stuck in and sorted lots of things into a many a different pile. Mainly fabrics, but its a start, and possibly overloading a rack in the process but you can't fault our enthusiasm.
With alot sorted ( but also alot still to do) we said our goodbyes to Jennifer with a promise to return if needed. We ran back into the night and then i had Chips for tea... mmmmmm chips
See you all again soon
Run Happy
