Another busy evening at FoodCycle and well done to the team from GoodGym who helped make it happen.

Gill had been on food collection and between her and hubby Tim they collected an amazing array of food, and with what the church had left us there was too much to choose from.

Martin and Gill joined the cooking team and were soon steaming up the kitchen as pans of soup, a vat of chilli, and fruit compôte were bubbling away on the stove. The meal was also complimented with a fresh salad, and baked potato and finished off with a bread and butter pudding.

Once again Omar, Shady and Moamal were on hand to set up the room and serve the guests. Shady and Gill got an upper body work out in as they loaded Gill's car with crates for her to return to the supermarket while Omar got stuck into a sink full of soapy. water to clean the dishes.

There were lots of happy guests, and many complimented the volunteers on such a nice meal and pleasant venue. mAnd they all got to take home two bags of produce from the food left over.

Well done Team.

And especially well done toMoamal who has helped at FoodCycle a few times now, but has never signed up as a GoodGymer.

Oranges weren't the only fruit we unpacked at St Luke's Church today, but that's only if you count the mini boxes of raisins as fruit. This was all part of the packs were putting together ready for the forthcoming Christingle celebration. Martin and Gill were keen to make a good impression as this was the first task we have done with St Luke's, so they both arrived nice and early and were soon unpacking Linda's boot and laying out the items to create a Christingle production line. Efficient as ever, it didn't take them long to walk up and sown the lune and get 100 bags packed, crated and stored ready for the event. In fact their super efficiency meant that the task had been competed before Omar arrived to help. Linda at St Luke's was amazed at how quickly we had competed the task and we hope that this will be a start of a new GoodGym partnership.
