I've attended a number of these volunteer fairs on behalf of GoodGym but this one was the best yet. The engagement and sheer number of people that came to talk about GoodGym far exceeded any of the other ones. This was helped by being registered for the medical school's citizenship volunteering, which let to dozens of medical students coming to ask about GoodGym. If you are one of them, or any of the other students that heard about GoodGym today, please get registered and comment below!

I was so busy that I didn't have time to get someone to take a photograph of me stood at the table. Six and a half hours is a long GoodGym session, but the time seemed to fly by due to the many conversations I had!

The organisations were positioned in alphabetical order. My neighbours were The History Society and, the rather more surprising that they exist, Gilbert and Sullivan Society. They both bribed people to stop by offering sweets and chocolates. Maybe that is something for us to try next year as it seemed to work pretty well!
