Taking down the Maypole and the Gazebos
Monday 1st May 2023
Written by Michael Welsh
For today's task, I was flying solo on behalf of GoodGym. I visited the Brixton Windmill Beer & Bread Festival to help with the closedown of the festival. The festival was still in full swing when I arrived just after 5:00 pm. Still, I soon helped out with folding and taking the tables back to storage, helping to take down gazebos and placing them in the loft area of the storage room which is very handy as it helps to create space down below and finally the removal of a maypole, which I assume was used for a morris dancing activity during the festival. Along with a fellow volunteer, we dug it out of the ground and moved it towards the garden area.
The volunteers at the windmill were grateful for GoodGym's help in setting up and clearing up for the festival.
Windmill Bread & Beer Festival
Monday 2nd May 2022

A group of us turned up to Brixton Windmill to help set up for the Bread and Beer festival.
Lots of preparation went into this, with lots of local stalls and volunteers. The Windmill team put on a great event.
Our little group helped them out with tasks such as setting up bins, digging in a Maypole, setting up chairs, tables and displays. Great work, team!
