Community mission

Setting up the farmer's market at Royal Arsenal

2 GoodGymers made their way to help the Greenwich Co-Operative Development Agency in Greenwich.

In a first of a hopefully regular set of missions, our band of GoodGym'ers rocked up on Saturday to help setup the bi-monthly market. Small intermission to complain that bi-monthly, here used to mean twice every month apparently is equally valid to mean every two months!?! Inventing another word would've been a good use of time...)

But anyway, with our many hands we tried to make light work of this mission, but discovered that in fact the gazebos were still very heavy. It must be said that having three people lift up a tent from inside to slightly reposition was a very interesting sight that morning as well. Adding the weights to prevent the wind from taking over the tents also meant that we could strike off weight exercises from our todo-list for that day.

We will be helping out setting up the farmer's market over the coming months (or at least until Parkrun returns!), so do sign up for the upcoming community missions.
