Five fine fare GoodGymers made their way to the Russell School to help set up the Petersham Horticultural Society Summer Fair. We welcomed first timer Harry to the team at the start. It was a day of pole holding, bunting putting up, table lifting, marquee raising and general fair making by the fairest of fair makers ever seen. In no time Rosie, JP and Harry were in charge of polishing the poles for the coconut shy which was a very challenging task indeed and intrinsic to the success of the fair. Instructions of stand here and hold a pole were duly given and they complied with expert GoodGym proficiency. Joanna was then directing others into the table and chair arrangement and popping up marquees whilst others were skilfully erecting bunting everywhere. Soon the fair was laid out and the entries came with loganberries, Battenberg cakes, knitting, Cos lettuce, spuds, peas, beans, flowers and onions were some of the many entries that befell the GoodGym tables and marquees

Thanks to all that came out and helped set up for the 118th Annual Petersham Horticultural Summer Show! Next year GoodGym will need to enter a Three Pigeon Plot entry!
