What terrible weather it was today - but Fay leapt to the rescue! We were going to be outside but she managed to get us an indoor task at the last minute - superstar!

We met in the cold and rain, the snow long since gone, and had a chat while I got a standing ovation for the quiz victory on Sunday.

We pootled the way to the top of the Meadows, chatting as we do. Good luck to Richard with the course he is doing, and I can only assume Andy banged on about a certain football result from this weekend.

We met Edith and needed to move all the chairs, the dragons, ironing board, and poles (amongst other things) to clear space for artists in the coming weeks. We will be painting the area soon. We were thanked for our speed, a great example of many hands making light work.

Edith invited us to submit a float into the parade in July - she can provide the wheels, we need to get creative and start making! send all ideas to Jenny who volunteered to do some CAD drawings. Should be fun!

Great to see everyone and a fantastic turnout considering the weather! Hopefully see you all - and more - next week! Do also check out the socials we have coming up, another pub quiz next month and a roast dinner on 30th April which Joe wanted to sample now

A new month, a new task. And this one is brand new to us! Writtle GP surgery are building a wonderful sensory dementia garden for their patients and needed some help.

First though, comes the run! We met in Central Park due to the length of the run. Setting off, we headed along the Parkrun route and then veered off towards Writtle. We admired the wonderful lights on the path and trotted along at a rapid pace.

We met Fay and Sallyann there (we almost always have a shorter option) and were introduced to Sally. We got stuck in various tasks - lopping back bushes, wheelbarrowing gravel to and fro to smooth out the path, and building a bench! We got as much done as we could, with leftover gravel but thankfully not leftover screws, consumed some delicious biscuits and juice and headed off on our way back.

Another great task we would always be happy to return to.

Hopefully see a bunch of you at the pub quiz on Sunday! We will be at the Ale House from about six, with the quiz starting from 7. Any questions, give us a shout.
