Trees a Crowd
13 GoodGymers made their way 5.0km to help the Samye Mindfulness and Well being Centre in Cardiff.
- Tuesday, 5th of December 2023
- Led by Nathan Swain
Unlucky for some, but not SAMYE as 13 goodgymers got together on a chilly evening to volunteer their time and get active. Split into groups, walkers, runners and cyclists we made our way to help our friends one last time for 2023.
The cyclists meeting us at the task as they made their own way, Nathan leading the runners from our start location, with Michael taking the walkers for a jaunty stroll through the city.
But before we head our ways, we have just enough time to . . . .
Welcome Neda
We arrived at Samye and headed straight into the warmth, as usual our tasks were listed on the white board;
- Move the glass bookshelves from library to cafe.
- Get the bookshelves out of the loft and put together.
- Clear out under the stairs, putting everything into the magnolia room.
- Get Christmas trees out of the loft and set them all up.
TO WORK
we split into teams to tackle each of the tasks, as a team vanished up into the loft, and one under the stairs. Once the stairs had been cleared everyone split into 3 tree groups to tackle the most important tasks of all.
Finally, all trees were ready and in their positions. Whilst the goodgym crew sat down to some food Michael ran around getting photos of those trees.
Thanks to everyone for coming out tonight, and a BIG thank you to SAMYE for their continued support of goodgym and all of our members.
Join us next week for the very last goodgym group task of 2023.
