Today 5 Goodgymers headed to Tyndale Baptist church to move in a van load of mattresses and duvets. We quickly worked out a streamlined mattress-moving-system with Alice unloading them from the van into the eager arms of the team with use of both of their hands. Laura even introduced a new technique of carrying the mattress on her head much to the awe of onlookers and passersby.

The task was completed speedily and the church staff were very pleased! They even asked us to come back for the new two weeks so we must have done an alright job ;-)
