GoodGym turned out in dribs and drabs today, but certainly made an impact on the running of the Fratton Family Festival.

Jen and Dave were first on the scene, and helped put up billboards, signage and gazebos. Their final task was to assemble a homemade banner for Fratton Together and get it mounted on their gazebo. Jen's retro knowledge of knots (clove hitch, anyone) helped get the banner hung up beautifully and with an easy mechanism to get it down again at the end of the day.

Next to the relay was Jane who finished the set up with the Fratton Together squad. She reported a good atmosphere, with the tempting smells from the food stalls, the music and everyone was happy. She then set out the volunteers' secret lunch area (behind a screen in the church) and helped mostly at the Food Pantry stall.

The anchor leg of GoodGym support came from Tracey, who helped with getting the area tidy towards the end of the day. Nice work, everyone!

Area Activator for GoodGym Portsmouth. I swear like a sailor, burp like a foghorn. Human A - Z of Portsmouth. Ultimately charming.
