6 Goodgymmers braved the mean streets of Chelsea for a new task at Open Age.

While the centre is closed they'd taken down all the old notices on the walls but needed us to help scrape off the blu and white tack blobs and clean off the residue so the walls are primed and ready for painting.

Cue thrilled faces as we were given a nifty tool for the job which slid the tack right off the wall, a bit like a wallpaper scraper in miniature. So we split into pairs and started scraping and scrubbing different areas of the building. With entrance hall and computer room complete we all congrated in the gym (complete with ballet bars) to get the task finished.

A splinter group then quickly decamped to an ante-room to clean all the yoga mats with special lavendar scented cleaning spray and hang them to dry.

At the end of the 80 minutes we all agreed the walls looked different from when we arrived and concluded that was a good result!
