On a very wet and windy May Bank holiday the plan was for Goodgym to do gardening work for the Mortlake Guides but due to the horrid weather Lynne from the Guides kindly switched the tasks to indoors. Monika and Mel started off by putting up a room divider to create a safe storage area for the Guides camping equipment, Rebecca set to work on putting up the freshly washed curtains. The next task was to erect a gazebo in order to take photos and list for sale to raise money for the Guides. Simple right. Johnny, Laura and Monika led on this only to discover we were missing several poles and despite the expert engineering analysis we were unable to safely put up the gazebo with the poles we had and admitted defeat and the gazebo is now destine for the tip. We still managed to tidy up the main hall and do some heavy lifting (with bent knees of course) for Lynne. Hopefully we can be back soon in nicer weather to work on the garden.
