1 GoodGymer made their way to help the Derby Cathedral in Derby.

In a moment of madness I signed up for this community mission – for the exercise portion I chose to keep moving with an outward cycling journey on a grey day, then later travelled back to our house through the sun and the rain.
Dressed in baggy trousers and a two tone GoodGym T-shirt, I arrived on time at Derby Cathedral. There was a moment of embarrassment when I found out I was in the wrong place – the venue was one step beyond: the Cathedral Café over the road.
Along with a dozen other volunteers, we folded the wings of a dove from paper shapes that had been decorated by members of the community as part of their work, rest and play, ready to be displayed as part of the Peace Doves installation.
Was it worth it? Absolutely!
PS Rachel has listed a community mission for volunteers to welcome visitors to the house of fun to view the doves. You can sign up here.

Tracey this report is brilliant! Complete Madness ... I'd even go so far as calling it Divine Madness!
