11 GoodGymers ran and walked 4km to paint for the Ideas Hub

For the first time in ages, we met up on a light and dry Wednesday evening!

We were excited to meet Rachel and Marie for their first GoodGym tasks.

After a more thorough introduction than usual, Joel led us out to our task of painting a new photography space for the Ideas Hub.

We met Sallyann and Edith at the task and got stuck in with painting a second coat of white on the grey walls.

David and Andy eventually joined us, and spent their time hanging out on the dark staircase with a headtorch and some masking tape, followed by finding more props to dress up with, which Richard couldn't resist either.

We'll be back next week to finish getting the photography space set up, see you all then.

7 GoodGymers ran and walked to the Ideas Hub to paint

After our previous task fell through, our wonderful Area Activator Fay jumped into action and found us a replacement, and even better, it was an indoor replacement!

Two set off walking and the rest of us jogged in the drizzle to the Ideas Hub where we met our task owner Edith and put on our hi-viz.

Our task was to paint a large section of grey walls with white, to prepare them for a new photography space run by the Ideas Hub.

We moved the items away from the walls and put dust sheets down ready to paint. Rich and Joe paired up with long rollers, whilst Joel and David picked up shorter rollers, Richard got up a ladder to meticulously cut in the top of the painting area, and Fay found her ledg-end place.

We painted more than any of us expected, and will be returning next week to continue!

See you all next time!
