The big BHF shop in the city centre have been running low on stock to replenish the shop floor as it’s all stashed two floors up without a lift.
They’re short of staff/their usual volunteers so a quick call to GoodGym and a community mission was launched. Alice even snuck out on her late shift's lunch break to help!
The stock room (one of three!) was chocker so we formed a socially distanced human chain to get bags of stock to the top of the steep stairs which were then cascaded down the stairs to a blue trolley a long, long way below. The boxes of books and crockery didn’t lend themselves to successful throwing so the team resorted to carrying down and up stairs whilst wearing masks and created their own GG HIIT workout. Nick decided he needs a bigger mask for these situations!
The cages in the shop floor stockroom were soon full to the brim, as were the trolleys, and we could run away after just 30 minutes having purchased a game of Dobble (GG Bristol favourite and mathematical wonder) to see us through Christmas Day. Russ got stuck in the arrows on the shop floor.
Once again the staff were amazed at our speed and prowess!
