Good Will Bunting

2 GoodGymers made their way to help the Sherwood Art Week in Nottingham.

Led by Rachel Levick

Peter and Rachel headed to the Sherwood United Reformed Church to help set up for a craft fair. The craft fair is the flagship event in Sherwood Art Week, an annual celebration of creativity organised by enthusiastic volunteers from the local community.

Our task was to put up as much bunting as we could find in an hour. Sounds easy, but lack of places to hang it, high ceilings and the fact that we're not the tallest GoodGymers made it a bit challenging.

Special well done to Peter for being chief hanger, excelling at flinging various bits of bunting over speakers, inserting cable ties wherever he could find a gap and tieing all the knots - we hope we can untie them when we take it down tomorrow!

After an hour (and a cheeky addition to the community noticeboard) we headed home, stopping to take in some of the other decorations that had been put up around Sherwood ahead of the Art Week.
