On a hot and warm Sunday afternoon, I along with several other non-GoodGym volunteers helped pack away tables and chairs following the end of the arts festival held at the wonderful location of Brixton Windmill.
Upon arriving just before 5 pm, as the festival was finishing we cleared the area where the festival took place. The task took approximately 40 minutes to complete.

A little bit of history in central Brixton!
The Friends of Windmill Gardens (FoWG) were formed in 2003 with three aims: * to get the Grade II listed Brixton Windmill restored and opened for public visits – in 2002 it had been put on English Heritage's buildings at risk register; * to make Windmill Gardens park a more welcoming space for local people; * to have a new education centre at the windmill. Windmill Gardens gained a Green Flag Community Award in 2015 and we have just been judged again so our fingers are crossed that we will retain the award for the next two years.
