Pack it up, pack it in, let me begin I came to win, battle me that's a sin...

Jump around! Jump around! Jump up, jump up, and get down!

6 Goodgymmers joined Femi from the Haringey Foodbank in prepping food parcels for families to collect this weekend.

A little bit of sugar here, some cereal there, a little bit of eviscerating recording artist Sia's Chandelier here, some Gramps jumping over food parcels and falling flat on his face there - you know, your standard, run-of-the-mill foodbank/ Goodgym mash up.

As the parcels started to pile up, Gramps did the only responsible thing and started taking bets from the team to see who could guess the final number of parcels. Predictions were as follows:

John - 65 / Neil - 95 / Sam- 58 / Cathy - 40 / Natasha - 53

Stakes were high, the tension palpable, Femi couldn't handle the pressure and disappeared temporarily without a guess (it's possible he was taking the recycling out, granted) and finally, the winner was announced. We had managed to put together 62 heavy food parcels, ready for collection this weekend. John was crowned the winner.

The award ceremony was held at a grand venue, under the light of a majestic chandelier. It was grand.
