Pump it!
4 GoodGymers made their way to help the Walthamstow Pumphouse Museum and Community Centre in Waltham Forest.

Yesterday we headed to the pump house museum to help paint a new community centre.
Latoya, Louise and Kris arrived at the pumphouse first. While they were waiting to start the main task (painting) they also unloaded a delivery for the museum.
Then the work started on painting (after donning lovely blue boiler suits). The room was very high so some scaffolding had been set up to provide access to the ceiling and higher level. Kristina did an amazing job up high all morning. I arrived fashionably late and helped with painting the lower skirting and walls for a few hours before lunch.
After lunch (in the museum) I headed off and Louise and Kristina carried on with the task. Even by lunch time we could see a big improvement in how the room looked and Sean (who was running the task) said the room was much more inviting than before.
The museum is a lovely place (open to the public on Sundays)! While we were there, some chefs in the cafeteria were prepping for a supper club in a tube carriage, which smelled amazing (better than paint anyway).
