Carrots and lanterns and bears, oh my!

On a very warm and sunny morning, GoodGymers gathered in the park to help set up for the final day of the FUSE International festival, with three different performance spaces appearing in Canbury Gardens.

The main task for the morning was decorating the trees around the spaces - which moved a few times while we were working! But by 11am, around 50 lanterns had been hung - with trees of increasing difficulty levels, both in branch and height. Today’s GG representatives were not tall… but thankfully aided by a stepladder.

There was also a deer and a bear mask to hide amongst the leaves, and a selection of mini wheelbarrows circling the Beauty and the Beast area filled with fish; oranges; apples; and a rabbit with carrots. No, we had no idea either.

Job well done, we walked / cycled / bussed off into the sunshine.
