All good things come to those who wait some say....well, we were made to wait for the harvest season to hit the Foodbank before being able to return to one of our favourite tasks...and it felt like a long time....

....not as long as we had to wait to have Andrew back with us though!!! HURRAH!!!! Welcome back stranger! Great to see you!!

GoodGym's outsourcing of the t-shirt delivery service is working a treat too! Laurie getting her t-shirt super quick and looks great in it too!!!

Tonight the lovely Matt at Brewhouse and Kitchen welcomed us with open arms and gave us a place to meet on Wednesday and we're very grateful!

The run to the Foodbank was a healthy 4km each way and we were happy to go at an easy pace tonight, nice not to have to stress about getting back!

Lauren had volunteered to open up for us and make sure we were kept to task. The gang scattered and soon were squirreling away sorting donations and making food parcels.

35 minutes later, with lots of crates emptied and 7 food parcels made up, it was time for us to gather again and set off back again.

Awesome effort everyone! Special thanks to Hannah for back marking expertly!

Well done to Keith for completing his grueling OCR on the weekend and still making it to the group run!!

See you all next week!!
