What a fabulous team of volunteers we had at The Hockwell Community Centre for setting up and serving at the Seniors' Christmas lunch. Our GoodGym team of 5 was supplemented by two of the All Saints guys who we met a couple of weeks ago during the Church Cleaning task - I think they probably count as associate GoodGymers.

Gil (here's a surprise) was stuck mainly in the kitchen carving turkeys and helping to plate the food, ably assisted by Omar once service was underway.

It was lovely to have Anthony, Ali and David heading up the serving team, starting off with serving up bowls of piping hot vegetable soup to the 100 or so guests, before getting in their steps as they came back and forward from the kitchen to the hall with plates laden with a traditional Christmas Dinner.

There was time for a brief interlude, which they needed, to recharge their batteries and scoff some turkey, before returning to the kitchen to serve up the mince pies. The final task was to help with clearing up and washing up. It was a long old session but Vera was very appreciative. And we all left with a goody bag of chocolates to help us celebrate at home.
