Not the usual litter picking task this week as 5 GoodGymers were asked to help out with the Beats, Boards & BBQ setup. This is a small festival in Charlton park with a skatejam, dog skateboarding competitions, music and a BBQ.

Firstly, we were set to work putting out the deckchairs dotted around the park and cafe area. This tasks was harder than it looked as it took a few go to set the chairs up correctly! We also hoped they stayed up for the entire event as the weather turned a bit blustery!

Our second job, was as a team to erect the main gazebo. We were all enlisted with holding a pole each as guy ropes were hammered hard into the ground to ensure it didn't blow away. Due to the gale like weather conditions we made sure we had extra tent pegs and they were firmly bashed in the with a very hard mallet.

After making sure everything we firmly in place and looked set not to blow away, we took a few pictures and headed off to the cafe for a well earned cup of coffee! All in all we enjoyed the change to the usual litter pick schedule! Maybe do the same again next year. 💖
