An early morning start for Ben, Ryan & Tom to help the JQ trust setup for their annual fete to raise funds for St Paul's Church.

After meeting event organiser, Brian and David the Vicar; we started by setting out the welcoming tables before hanging the sponsorship banner from the church before setting up the vendor area with tables and chairs.

Tom & Ben assisted with other assorted tasks such as helping vendors before returning to a GoodGym staple; litterpicking. Meanwhile Ryan marshalled the food vendors, classic cars, music stage and craft vendors to the drop off/parking spots.

Later in the day we were joined by Josie from the JQ cemeteries team and the dynamic duo; Laura and Miriam who stayed to enjoy the day's festivities (pastries) with Ben & Tom.
