Nottingham Report written by Rachel Levick
For our latest task we returned to The Place Activity Centre in Sherwood to help with their renovations. We were hosted by Kirsty and Lauren who greeted us on arrival and provided us with tea and coffee during the task – amazing! It was a few weeks since our last visit and we were really impressed with how the transformation of the downstairs rooms was coming along.
The room we were painting last time was almost done, so on this visit we turned our attention to the second room where the painting was underway. Matthew, Hussein and Tom started by giving one of the walls another coat of white paint. Nigel and Leah took on moving some big shelves and all their contents into the centre of the room so that the other wall could be accessed. Once they had done that, they started scraping off the old paint on that wall in preparation for its paint job.
Meanwhile, Rosemarie took on the satisfying task of pulling up a load of tape from floor in the foyer area. Remember during the pandemic when we had to keep 2-metres apart? This tape was a relic from those days. Finally, Rachel took on scrubbing off the paint stains and sticky coating from the sink in the room which had seen better days (taking a ‘before’ photo but completely forgetting to take an ‘after’…).
The hour whizzed by and before we knew it, it was time to down tools, drink up, take a photograph and head off home.
The team behind The Place are working to a tight deadline to get their renovations finished by the end of October, so we were more than happy to agree to go back next week to help some more. It’s the perfect place for a task on a chilly Autumn night, and with friendly hosts and tea and coffee, who can resist?!! Sign up here.
It’s been a little while since we celebrated any milestones, so here is a little update on how this lot are getting on:
We welcomed Hussein to his first GoodGym task – lovely to meet you! Matthew has now done 4 tasks (plus the all-important pub quiz). Rosemarie is on 9 so will be hitting her 10th very soon, and Nigel is now on 21 – we missed your 20th, but congratulations on that milestone! Leah has just hit the big 40 so the countdown is on to her half century, and amazingly this was Tom’s 80th task – will he be the next to 100?!
