Because of the length of this work party, a tag-team was the best approach! I arrived st Hillfields Community Centre at 11 am to be met by Sarah with a lovely cuppa! A quick tour identified the different painting tasks to do. Sarah's priority was the kitchen area which had had the old cupboards removed and been cleaned. I got to work with the masking tape so that by the time Nicky (another of Sarah's team of volunteers) arrived we were ready to paint! We continued until 1.30 when it was lunch/cuppa and choccy finger time! Janka arrived and donning the overalls she took up the roller to continue the painting. After a quick interview for a community film project, (I wasn't allowed to mention names, but hopefully the camera caught my iconic top!) it was time for me to run home, leaving Janka to continue the battle against the previously green painted walls.

Sarah has recently taken over responsibility for the centre and there's lots to do so I expect Goodgym will be called on again to help. A great task, really helping the community, and always nice snacks! Before photos as it'll need at least 2 coats!
