Newham Report written by Nick Moore
Thanks to Adam for this week's run report title...as he smashed the fifth wooden chair onto the path this evening at the INUF's Mental Health Community Garden, he commented that this was definitely one of our most physical tasks in ages - a proper GoodGym workout.
On our first visit to INUF, our welcoming host Pat outlined the tasks she wanted us to complete this evening - the first being to empty a greenhouse packed full of wooden chairs, that could then be broken up into pieces and thrown into the corner of the garden - and so as Hilary and Bea played a game of life size Jenga to get the tightly packed chairs out, Graham, Adam and Nick lined up along the pathway and formed a chair destruction chain gang - there really is nothing more satisfying than smashing things up when you've been given the green light to go right ahead - apologies to the neighbours who's quiet Tuesday evening was rudely shattered by the sound of multiple chair legs hitting concrete. Once we'd worked out the technique to break apart each chair, we raced through the queue in what felt like no time.
Onto next task - moving some furniture item out of the communal kitchen, and then task 3, which was removing a stack of sticks and branches from the garden and disposing of them on top of the wooden remains of the chairs. Adam commandeered a nearby shopping trolley, which proved ideal for shifting the broken branches and twigs, and before long we had the whole area cleared...ready for our return visit on 5th May.
