It was a long weigh to go to our task tonight, 3km in each direction to get to St George's Hall in Moulsecomb to meet up with Cllr Kate Knight who helps run a Social Supermarket from the hall.

First a warm welcome to Mel joining us for the first time. It was great to chat about your very interesting job (enhancing the health of rivers) and great to have you along!

The weather was great for running, no wind and a cooling drizzle but not so great for outdoor weeding so Cllr Kate redeployed us to the inside of the hall to help get organised for the social supermarket which happens on Wednesdays. This is a great scheme where members pay £3.50 per week to shop from a bank of donated food and goods. Tasks tonight included breaking down bulk packeted goods into smaller parcels, for example weighing large 10kg bags of rice into 1kg bags, counting teabags and nappies into smaller parcels. There was a also a box of donated greetings cards to be sorted, a large pile of cardboard boxes to be broken up for recycling and some large rubbish bins to be painted to identify as belonging to the hall.

We got all the jobs done in about 20 minutes and headed back into the night for the 3km run back to base, although a significant part of the group decided the best weigh to go was to get the bus!!
