We do Duvets, you do duvets
6 GoodGymers made their way to help the Bristol Churches Winter Night Shelter in Bristol.
- Wednesday, 6th of February 2019
- Led by Bromley runner
We had a good old chin wag until the van arrived (the teeny smart car didn't have 12 mattresses and duvets on board) and explained all about GoodGym to someone who asked.
Our human chain system is perfected, after clearing the ping ping table from the duvet space, and we made short work of the mattresses before passing for this week's photo. Top work, top team!
A bonus report...
Bed time (awww mum!)
It’s Wednesday, 8:40(ish). That can only mean one thing. As the city woke for another day of fun, for us it was bed time as we met at The Emmanuel Meeting House. As we eagerly awaited the vans arrival we sold someone else on Goodgym, talked about hot desks, nails, breakfast and running with work. Then the van arrived. By now it was obvious that some people were old hands at this. We formed a chain to take the duvets then took it in turns to take mattresses in to make a massive pile. There was no pea but we were still tempted to sleep on the top. A quick but satisfying task that will have a big impact. Until next time.

I didn't miss GG in the rain yesterday evening to paint my nails and pamper myself, not at all... :p
