Creativity Unleashed

GoodGym members were given the opportunity to display their creative side, by making bunting for the Maidenhead Town Show. The brief was to create bunting representing the GoodGym organisation, and the result certainly did not disappoint. Amy hid the blank bunting in her garden for individuals to collect by running, walking or cycling, and then they set to work in creating their designs. Sophie started the ball rolling with her bunting encapsulating the GoodGym experience, setting a high standard for others to follow. Over the next few days, more bunting followed from Hannah, Nicola, Matt, Georgeta, Claire, Sula, Sheila, Tessa, Amanda and Amy. What a wealth of hither-to hidden creative talent had been unleashed, utilising a huge variety of techniques - Sharpies, paint, embroidery, appliqué and crochet as well as some inspired use of pom poms, buttons, sequins, and even scrabble pieces and a playing card. The GoodGym logo and red and white featured heavily in the designs. Sheila and Amy sewed the 43 pieces of bunting onto over 10 metres of tape ready for display on the big day. A huge thank you to everyone who took part - a truly mammoth group effort, with stunning results, doing GoodGym proud. Even the ladies from the Craft Coop were impressed.
