🪘An office ConunDRUM 🥁
9 GoodGymers made their way 5km to help the Mencap in Kingston upon Thames.

Tonight we were off to Searchlight to help out GoodGym member Martel and the other trustees.
The runners made it just in time before the heavens opened whilst others had a little shower on their walks and cycle rides over.
Martel explained the challenge. Empty a large office and fit it into a smaller one and move the drums from the small room to the large one to give the drumming group their own room.
We split into 2 groups; one group emptying the drums out of their storage room and the other emptying the office. We found all sorts of things including a hobby horse, spray paint and broken chair legs to name a few.
Having cleared out lighter items it was time for the heavy lifting. Tom, Petra and Julie moved the desk, whilst Emma helped with the safe shuffle. Petra and Julie’s gym sessions definitely paid off as they managed to lift a filing cabinet between the rooms.
Once empty Jade gave the office a good hoover then Emily and Claire started to put drums in.
We converted the small room into an office working out how to fit all the furniture in and sorted the items we had taken out of the old office until everything had a home.
A quick spot of drumming whilst we had a photo (we won’t give up the day jobs!) and it was time to head in to the drizzle on our runs, walks and cycle rides. A big shout out to Luke who ran all the way to the postcode but couldn't find the entrance! Hopefully we've figured out a way to get in touch next time there's an issue with directions.
