That's Oil Folks!
2 GoodGymers made their way to help the Katherine Buchan Meadow in Ealing.
- Wednesday, 21st of August 2024
- Led by Sevan
Another Wednesday, another threatening grey sky over Hanwell. Despite this, Steph and Sevan joined 3 volunteers from the Katherine Buchan Meadow Trust to finish sanding the meadow's benches to protect the wood through the coming autumn and winter.
All five spread across the meadow to get sanding, with Steph and Sevan focused on the smaller bench that curved around a tree. The group sanded sanded so hard that sawdust flew and heat rose from the benches and sanding pads, creating a localised high pressure system, dispersing the rain clouds for the whole session.
When all the sand had flowed to the bottom of the GoodGym hourglass (i.e. their hour was up), both benches were ready for oiling and as a bonus, so was the meadow's notice board. That's all the help that task owner Amanda needed from GoodGym and she and the other Meadow volunteers will finish oiling the benches at the weekend.
