Bench presses before breakfast

6 GoodGymmers turned up bright and early on Saturday morning to help the Penge Festival team set up for their opening fete. First up, we got both a physical and mental workout figuring out the easiest way to carry some very heavy wooden picnic benches from Goldsmiths Arms to the fete site on Royston Fields. We were then set to work by Maureen, one of the festival organisers, who had us erecting gazebos, making seating areas out of hay bales and using bunting and festoon poles to construct an ever so slightly lopsided stage area for the dog show and belly dancers. Just your average weekend in Penge, then!

Tired from our workout, we wrapped up at 9.45am, but not before taking the opportunity to put up some GG flyers on the community notice board.
