Goodness me, that was a busy one! It was lovely to have so many GoodGymers along this evening, and very much needed!
Our task was to remove a LOT of wood, metal and boxes from the Library of Things storeroom down three flights of stairs, two sets of doors, up in a service lift and across to a skip. We split in to three teams - Dave and Richard were Team Skip, then Val, Judy, Ranjitha and Louisa were the Corridor Runners. The rest of the team were the tasked with getting all of the oddly-shaped and awkwardly weighted items down from the store room.
There was some amazing team work this evening, and nobody fell down any stairs, or into a skip! We did briefly lose Sinéad in a recycling bin, but we won't worry about that!

We welcomed David to his first GoodGym session this evening - great to have you along! He certainly got stuck in with our task, helping to take down some shelving.
Meanwhile, Lucy, Richard and I joined Clare at the new unit to help put up the new Repair Cafe / Library of Things signage. Cue lots of scrabbling up and down ladders, then an emergency jig-saw break when we realised the sign was a little too long!
Back at the old unit, the rest of the team made great progress filling holes, taking down shelving and sweeping the floors. We finished up by taking a few bits and pieces across the new unit. Sinéad has reassured us that, despite appearances in the photos, she was not in drink whilst using a power tool!
So much achieved in such a short space of time - amazing work, everyone!

Bravo brave GGers, battling with high winds, inside-out bags and bored or bemused pet dogs!
We each chose a beach or river to litter-pick during September, getting out in the fresh air to join the Marine Conservation Society's campaign to clean Britain's coasts and inland waters.
Well done for taking a moment from your month to make a small difference that adds up to a big impact.
