After a fantastic turnout from the GG crew at Dalby parkrun, and a fab breakfast in the courtyard cafe, we made our way to the visitor centre where we were given a task briefing by Imogen from Forestry England
There were 3 main elements to the task:
The first was for those with less of an eye for detail and involved cutting and sticking labels into books. Fantastic for likes of Mitch, Pete, Tristan, and Micheal (no offense guys). Hannah and Cara also joined in with this side but were definitely over qualified!
The second was for the more creatively minded, who would be coming up with 4 words to describe the books. Nick, David, Babs and Laura and Jackie were a natural fit and did a great job
The third was perfect for those who like to take their time over things and make sure everything is perfect. Catherine doing her first Good deed, Amy and Abigail were the ideal team for this job which involved wrapping the books in map paper so people wouldn't know the title of the books they were picking and could only go off the 4 words that Babs et al had chosen
Oh, and naturally the Area Activators, Ed and Vicky were on hand to make the teas!
A cracking morning full of fun, food, friends and a forest
