Four GoodGymers headed down to Surplus2Purpose on a lovely warm Saturday morning to help combat waste and make the world a better place by preventing fermentation in the freezer and enabling acess to some lovely fermentated kombucha in the warehouse. It was a very quite weekend at the usual very busy organisation but I think Adam's request for the public to come help and clear THREE PALLETS of frozen goods on Thursday led to the public sating their appetite for the week.

We first started by quality assuring the baked goods section, which is completely FREE to the public, which included a variety of breads; white, brown, tiger, seeded and so on (i am not on expert on bread).

Helen and I tackled the defrosted bits left at the bottom of the freezers which were emptied on Thursday, cleaning the freezer and then a physical lowering of our bodies in to get little defrosted bits left such as small peas.

We were later joined by Leah and Christian who took the time to reorganise the produce on display, making them look neater and therefore more palatable to the public! The last bit of order to the day was restocking and correctly bunching the kombucha together in their respective brands and flavours.

Wednesday's Summer Social, if I don't eat them by then, you may be witness to some of the goodies nabbed from the warehouse.
