GoodGym Newham’s weekly Tuesday evening visit to Cody Docks coincided with a bit of rain, which brought with it a glorious rainbow, but meant an alternative activity to our ongoing rail painting task was required. Luckily for us, Basia had some nice heavy things lined up to be moved from out of the Gallery, which is to be freshened up (maybe a job for us soon 🤔) ready to welcome the public back for some classes and exhibitions again soon.

First out of the door were some lockers – we speculated that these may be for the changing and shower block facility that the dock will house as part of wider development plans. Then secondly and very carefully, some sculptures of various sizes made by one of the resident artists were to be moved up on to one of the studio balconies. Apparently some of the heavy looking ones were quite light and vice versa… Obviously there was a sofa to move as well – a standard of the GoodGym heavy thing removal repertoire, surprisingly easy with four people and a dolly cart.

A big welcome to Charlotte and Matt on their first visit! Hope you enjoyed it and look forward to seeing you (as well as everyone else of course) back there next week – sign up here.
