It's part 2 of the painting task and the same team assembled like the previous one. We had two more GoodGymers joined this time. Nishy ran from Hanwell and Alaa joined us for her first GoodGym task.

Welcome to GoodGym Ealing, Alaa

We didn't have a problem wearing the aprons as we had experience from last time. Mandie got us some watermelons, pineapples, and water bottles to keep us refreshed. It was getting warm after some time.

Kash, Nishy, and I used the big rollers and went up and down whereas Claire, Clare, and Sevan focussed on touchup using small brushes. Tbh using the small brushes was a niche work and required more effort and care. This time we got a ladder and Claire was covering the top of the walls for some time. It was Alaa's first painting task. She took regular rollers and covered the area near the windows.

We got lost in time and it was almost noon. We then wrapped up and Claire owned the cleaning up like last time. Sevan was busy finishing up his artwork and was going at it till the last minute. We had some bites of watermelon before the team dispersed.

So if you feel like you missed this one don't worry as we will be coming back for another painting session sometime end of this month or next month.

West Ealing Community Managed Library

Paint the back rooms to make it look loved and inviting!

OPEN Ealing recently took over the management of West Ealing Community Library from the previous tenants. We opened the doors again on Tuesday 30 April. The library is run by two paid members of staff and a raft of fabulous volunteers. Our aim is to make the library a place where the community comes together for companionship, culture and learning. We are also going to increase and enhance the focus on arts and crafts and make it the Go To place for anything to do with the arts. There's a range of creative activities led by volunteers and offered for free to people who want to drop in. We shall add to the list with some specialist activities as well as things like a film club.The room at the back of the library is large and we want to rent it out for rehearsal space, meetings etc etc. All the income we make from that will be ploughed back into the library to make it a sustainable centre which will remain open.
