Eight elves helped out at Level Best this evening, wrapping gifts for the trainees at their Christmas party. Everyone did a fantastic job, and although it looked like a tricky task to start with, as there were a variety of different shapes of gifts to wrap, and specific name tags to match each one, the paper and sellotape was soon flying into action, and beautifully wrapped piles of gifts started appearing. Conversation topics amongst the group this week included: Paris marathon, Cocodona 250, teaching, flamenco, compost, baby names, and Goodgym!
Leafleting of the highest level

A crisp and chilly evening to get the message out about Level Best Art Cafe's Christmas events. We posted the news around Manor Road, Crowhurst Road and Rawston Road Level Best's staff and clients show that hard work throughout the year is something that they, and Colchester, can be proud of. I certainly can not wait to try their variety of chutneys for Christmas that will be on sale at their Christmas Market and have a mulled juice whilst listening to A Christmas Carol.
Well done those who braved the cold - the next Level Best task will be indoors wrapping presents.

Five Goodgymers braved the cold and headed to Level Best to do a warm indoor task - yippee! We wrapped a mountain of gifts for the trainees and enjoyed the 'chilled christmas' mix on the sound system. Thanks for having us and enjoy the party this week guys!
I'm going to Level with you, this task is the Best.

An Elfy and jolly evening was had in the warm and welcoming Level Best Art Cafe. Our long-term friends who do wonders with adults with Learning Disabilities.
A huge GG Colchester welcome to Becky and welcome to Colchester and Balkerne Hill!!!
Our task was to wrap over 60 presents for the trainees to open next week! I will not give away what Santa has got them but I think I can smell a successful gift.
As we left Level Best we managed some Hill training, with a 75% effort and sprint triple and then conquered the whole of Balkerne Hill as a December treat. The ice was gathering on the pavements and we carefully jogged and jeffed home.
Wednesday was lit up for leaflets!

Stars, planets and helicopters shone above Colchester as the Goodgymers helped invite people to Level Best Art Cafe's Christmas Market (2nd December).
We delivered door to door before going into the city centre to check our the Christmas Light display. The High Street sparkled and Lion Walk was crowded due to presence of stormtroopers and batman!
Such big crowds for a Wednesday evening...the festive season has begun.
Fourmidable clean up crew...

An indoor task for a drizzly night? OK then...
Frazer's 12 Hill runs was the perfect warm up for a brisk walk and a work out whilst cleaning.
Our task tonight was to clean up the former home of Level Best Art Cafe, D'Arcy House. It was quite strange working around some old art work, a few remaining tables and chairs and the old coffee machine. We have some good memories in this building, from Valentine meals to wrapping Christmas presents so I can't imagine how much the clients of Level Best achieved here. And as you can almost see in the photos, they have moved on to an amazing new cafe and gallery. Well worth a visit for a great coffee, cake and jacket potato. (Not to mention the Xmas pickles)
Well done us!
