After a 1st session in the morning and a quick lunch before running again to the 2nd mission of the day, the 3 Goodgymers with supernatural forces : Kash,Sevan and Steph Ducat arrived at their destination to meet another Emma. Tamzin welcomed the crew and Emma was shown the ropes at Care4Calais. Tamzin mentioned that the numbers have decreased as the council was using other partners too alongside Care4Calais. Kash, Sevan and Emma prepared packs with the usual socks, undies, tshirts, hoodies, trousers but today had a twist...put a silly jumper in the pack. Steph Ducat was with Tamzin and prepared 7 packs that were requested to be delivered to those who needed clothes. As some bags were returned, they then had to separate the clothes and put them back in the correct boxes by gender and sizes. Steph Ducat had a lot of small sizes ...children sizes up to new borns, but also found some very silly tops and socks. We unraveled a series of extraordinary mysteries with the clothes donations like flashy tops, cycling and running gear and alot of tops people went or events they participated in. What tops would the Goodgymers wear?
