Last night four GoodGym-ers headed up the hill to Dads Lane Community Association to see how the renovations are coming along. Steve, Dan and the team have made amazing progress inside already and for now are focusing their attention on the garden, which will become a key part of the community space. Our job was to clear what was probably a literal ton of bricks from the back of the building, separating out reusable 'good' bricks and broken 'bad' bricks.

Jon (Jonny Four-Bricks) and Karin (Brick Astley) made swift work of shifting the pile while Miriam (Ice Cream Brick) and I (Bad Brick Good Brick Stanley Kubrick) ensured the good bricks were stacked in the most space-efficient manner to make the most of the storage bags, as well as pulling our weight with transporting. It was tough work and I expect there are some sore arms today.

There's plenty more to do at the community centre (soon to be renamed – watch this space!) so keep an eye out for more missions.
