Gazepros

Sunday 4th August

Written by Bristol runner

Let the gazebo ranking begin. How would you go about ranking a gazebo? Would you judge it by how easily it is erected, by the number of pieces or how wobbly it looked at the end? As you can guess the task involved some gazebos. But we are getting ahead of ourselves.

Four goodgymers met to help setup for the Amnesty Garden Party. The main tasks involved putting up gazebos, tables and helping move things to their location. We also helped set the tables ready for cake nom’ing and tea sipping, and constructed some bins so no bin juice escaped.

Personally I like my gazebos to have a bit of a challenge though it was also nice to have the cover already on. Variety is the spice of life though and I think we can all add Gazepros to our CVs now.

After a couple of hours we were done and it was time to enjoy the rest of a sunny day. Those damselflies were acrobatically x-rated and the fashion was on point!

Until next time…
