Report written by Sandy Dhaliwal
For the last few weeks we have been helping St Anthony's Catholic Primary School and the Antz Kidz Activity Centre with a rather fun and therapeutic activity.
As part of their new playground refresh project, we were tasked with priming and painting recycled car tyres in preparation for them becoming part of a brightly coloured play area.
This week five of us continued adding vibrant shades to the rubber rings, as we chattered on a variety of topics as always. As the colour scheme for the tyres is that of a rainbow, it got us all thinking about the much-loved eighties children's TV show of the same name, plus its iconic characters...
I was dubbed the group's Zippy - for obvious reasons, while Pam was sweet-natured George, and Naomi was inquisitive Bungle. And our lovely run leader Manjit was of course presenter Geoffrey.
But who were guest star musicians Rod, Jane and Freddy? I figured as task owner Salvo was a music lover himself, he could be Rod, GG newcomer Jess could then be Jane.... making fellow task owner Eva... Freddy - for absolutely no reason! Or perhaps Eva could be Georgette, George's cousin! Tune in next time to find out!
