Turnip the Beet
6 GoodGymers made their way to help the St. Margaret's House in Tower Hamlets.

This was a lovely afternoon in East London where 6 runners supported St Margarets's house to set-up a free storytelling event in the backyard of their vegan cafe. This evening was all about secrets, where where 9 people have up to 10 minutes each to tell a real story from their own lives.
There were about 50 people coming and we had 1,5 hours to organise a variety of tasks. To maximise efficienctly the group split into pairs and each had ownership of a different task. One pair did all the set up of tables and chairs in the garden (50 people were expected to come), another pair did the sound and also some last minute weeding happened to create a clear garden! Unfortunatley it was forecasted to rain a little later in the evening, so the event organisers also had a contingency plan in place in the venue next door.
It all happened so quickly that we finished well on time - 45 min prior to the event.
We hope everyone enjoyed the event and we'll be back soon!
