On a wet evening only the toughest (or foolish) GoodGymer's were out doing good in the borough! It was time for a trip to Senior's, little did we know what was in store...

On arrival, there was no one to be seen, we checked all the rooms, even the cafe (with much concern that Steve should not be left to go alone) but we didn't check the basement, we didn't think everyone would be down there!!

The task for the evening was to help clear the basement. We had been down there many a times to collect the Christmas decorations and marveled at the things that were down there. This was now our chance to dig deeper. The only problem is no one from Senior's wanted to throw anything away! Not even the boiler collection notes from 2011...

One team of Oli and Louise were tasked with going through the DVD's and removing any inappropriate ones. A task that was very subjective to everyone's tastes in films (Oli's = classic 90's films).

Another team of Alison and Paul tackled the paperwork dating back from 20 years ago!!

And Lindsay and Steve went up and down those stairs taking things to the bins and also labeling boxes!

The photos don't even do justice the variety of items that we found! Great work tonight team, I think we made a dent in the many many items in the basement!
