The below standard operating procedure was followed on Wednesday 6th March (evening) by some good people in the Camden area.
- Arrive outside the Francis Crick Institute at 6:15pm.
- Wait for Alex to appear dressed in red. He will tell you about GoodGym; a charity made for fitness and volunteering enthusiasts.
- Say your name and number (meaning: your position in the circle; please do not give out your personal mobile number).
- Alex will lead you into the bright night. Get lost in socialising chitchat.
- Suddenly, you will be outside the American International Church on Tottenham Court Road.
- Enter the church and head downstairs. Fold-up beds leaning against walls will be magically waiting for you.
- Unfold a bed by unclipping a small plastic fastening and be wary of the bed’s desire to fold back up.
- Place the plastic fastening in a purpose-made jug.
- Tuck a sheet onto a bed and chat to other people in red T-shirts about fitness and volunteering.
- Dance to Dire Straits.
- Invert a duvet cover and place it entirely over your head.
- Explore through touch the mysterious corners of the duvet.
- Listen to the guitar solo in Sultans of Swing.
- Fling the duvet cover forward and hope for the best.
- Once all beds are completed in the above style, go to the stage area of the church, which is found through a secret door, and set up another bed while admiring the theatrical set up in the room.
- Try and guess which show it is.
- Take a photo of all the people in red T-shirts without making it very blurry.
- Head back into the bright night, very proud and very happy.
