Report written by Gemma
Last night, 13 GoodGym guys and girls headed over to Kirkstall Valley Development Trust HQ to paint chairs for a wedding taking place this May. Everyone either walked, ran or cycled to the task, which was so great to see - some people even added to their commute by adding in a couple of extra hills! :P

Thanks to Katie for the excellent photos, and to Helen for being a brill walk leader. It was also great to have Yusra joining us from Sheffield GoodGym and GoodGym head office!
On arrival at the task, we were given a stack of chairs to wipe, sand and paint. We each took on a chair for ourselves and then helped each other out so that we applied a first coat of paint to over 15 chairs. It was a brilliant upcycling task, and hopefully, will go some way to helping the KVDT guys to prepare for their super spring wedding.
It was the first Group run for two of our newest members: Cass and Simone - and they were both great, making their way to the task on foot and then getting stuck straight in with the painting. Well done Cass and Simone!
As the chairs will require another coat of paint, and there are lots more chairs, tables and other furniture to prepare, we will be back at KVDT soon. If you would like to join us next time, sign up to our newsletter to keep up to date with all our latest tasks and news. We would love to see you!
