Sing a song of GoodGym A cupboard full of ducks Four-and-twenty steel bars Have us in a state of flux

Sort out some lost clothing Give bits to charity Not the stash of undies, though That's destined for the bin

With the lurgy taking out several GoodGymers this week, it was a motley crew of three who turned up for our first visit to The Lenton Centre. We were greeted by Angela who led us down to the basement and showed us around.

Our first job was sorting out a few bin bags of unclaimed lost property to figure out what could be donated and what had to be ditched. It turns out that more people than you'd think leave their swimmers and towels behind after a dip in the pool, and more than a fair few apparently went home commando. Once they were sorted, Tom nipped down the road to put the donatables in a BHF bin down the road, while Leah and Heidi located the outside bin for the remainder.

Next, we were off to another room of the basement to put together a shelving unit that had clearly been waiting a while for assembly. With a combination of contortion, logic and brute strength (and a couple of random gardening tools and keys), we managed to get it together and just about stable. It's currently being guarded by the giant duck full of his own plastic brethren we found in a cupboard.

Finally, we took a bit more rubbish and recycling out to the bins before heading our separate ways.

There's plenty more for us to do there, can't wait to go back!
