If you noticed an unusually large number of vehicles parked at the Wheelchair Shed in Arundel in recent weeks, the reason became quickly apparent: It's been rather hectic lately! The previous Saturday, a container bound for South Africa was loaded with some 300-odd wheelchairs. Then last Saturday, a recently arrived container with components for 400 wheelchairs (new bike wheels, tyres, swivel wheels and all sorts of other paraphernalia) needed unloading. And as they always do, our volunteers answered the call to "put the shoulder to the wheel" and got the job done.
Not only that, as soon as it was emptied, completed wheelchairs ready to ship were loaded into it (yes, even after shipping over 300, we still have some more ready to go!). Thank you all (you know who you are). And then, all gathered for some fellowship to enjoy a cuppa or two of Lionel's fabulous, traditionally brewed coffee or tea and some good ol' fellowship (picture).
And then it was back (literally) to the grinding wheel, paint brushes, sandblasting, sprayguns, plywood routers... Heaps more pictures on our Facebook page www.facebook.com/rcsurferssunrise
