Musicless Chairs

Monday 4th August

Written by Derby runner

Gwyn and Tracey joined their chums at the DCF’s Monday Mates session, getting there early to set up the chairs. We were in a different building to our usual one, so Gwyn gave directions in the car park, while Tracey took the register. Everyone enjoyed tea, biscuits, wordsearches and a quiz, followed by a game of seated cricket, with the GoodGymmers on fielding duty. Once the mates had gone home, we put all the chairs back again.

Terris, Tracey and Gwyn met Ged at Mickleover Memorial Hall for a session of painting. A big welcome to Terris on her first GoodGym good deed!
