Personally, this is one of my favourite tasks. Watching the empty hall be transformed into a mini art gallery is so satisfying.

Our first job was to help move the stands from under the stage, construct them and place them according to Wendy's plan.

Julie and Jen helped make sure there were hooks available at each stand so the art could be hung, whilst Jess helped with numbering the stands.

It was all hands on deck to transfer the art from stage to screen, literally, and to hang the art as directed.

Thankfully we were told not to worry about hanging them perfectly as a member of the Arts Club would cast their artistic eye over them and make any final touches.

Once the art was hung, and the table packed up and moved back onto the stage, it was time for a lunch break followed by a bit more furniture moving and setting up the 'crafty' table for the sculptures and other pieces of craftwork on display.

Having a sneak preview of the art was great, we spotted all of Amy's pieces (& were in awe of her talent).

If you can visit the exhibition over the next 2 weeks, it's definitely worth it.

There is still time to sign up for the task in 2 weeks to help them pack it all up until their Spring exhibition.

Its nearly time for the annual Cookham Art Exhibition at Pinder Hall, and 4 GoodGymers went to help the organisers set up for the first phase - Art Submission. Wendy, our taskowner had a detailed plan of what needed to go where, so all we had to do was get the right things in the right places. We moved chairs, tables, boards, frames, posts, posters and hooks until it was all in the correct place, ready for tomorrow. Then it's over to the Sunday team for phase 2!

6 GoodGymers helped the Cookham Arts Club take down their Spring exhibition. It's a really fun task, involving dismantling large display screens and stowing them away under the stage, as well as shifting tables and chairs.

There is a fine art to fitting the screens under the stage, in which Jess is now well rehearsed. She didn't hesitate when asked to crawl under the stage and play tetris with the screens. The rest of us were busy bringing more and more kit to the stage hatch when there was a cry from below,

'We need another one of those red people down here!'

Georgeta took her cue and joined Jess in the confined space below.

Sheila, Viv, Tony and I meanwhile made the hall emptier and emptier, until everything was clear. And in record timing too!

Jess and Georgeta eventually emerged from their hiding place, still smiling, and it was time to take a bow and head for home.

PICTURE the scene: four goodgymers, one village hall, screens, tables, and chairs all to be packed away.

EASEL-y done with this dream team with the two shortest ones dwelling under the stage.

The hall soon looked like a BLANK CANVAS.

Nothing to see here...just another good deed CHALKed up and a report full of SKETCHy puns...

This is my 3rd good deed today, my word WATERCOLOUR full day it's been.

This was such a great GoodGym session! Sol, Sheila, Jen, Jess and I helped Cookham Arts Club set up for their annual Summer exhibition.

We had a great mix of tasks:

• Shifting display screens out from a very cosy space under the stage..."Mind your head Jess! We're clear!"

• Synchonised slotting of hooks into holes to hang each screen from posts around the room..."In top, in bottom, in and in on our side! And ours!"

• Team challenge to stick numbers on the 37 screens in record timing. This looked like a one person job, but we divided into blue tack stickers, number runners, and long-armed number stickers, all directed by clipboard lady Jen - go team!

• Shifting paintings from the stage to their designated screens

• Carefully hanging paintings in their designated spots using special hooks

• Jiggling (technical term) hung paintings around to get them all evenly spaced...it's a fine art!

• Setting up chairs and tables for lunch

• More shifting of chairs and tables

We also had the pleasure of being the first people to see the paintings hung and window shopping for our favourites. There was a great mix of different styles, media and subject matter on display - very inspiring!

As if that wasn't enough, we were also treated to a home made buffet lunch, including second helpings of some very scrummy puddings. Thank you CAC! You've got us hooked!

Amy, Angela and Jess met at Pinder Hall to help the Cookham Arts Club get started on set up for their art exhibition.

The first job was to move two 'coffins' from the back room into the main hall - but they had to go round the outside to avoid the stage steps! Next up was to help move screens, easels and stands from under the stage into the main hall. A lot of mind your head and squats later everything was out in the hall and it was beginning to be organised.

Exhibitors will be dropping off their art work over the next couple of days where it will then be sorted and on Sunday Goodgym return to help set up the remaining screens and allow the art to be hung for viewing during the week.

Join us on Sunday to help out!
