Jen, Angela and Viv arrived during the final stages of the Town Show, to join Sheila who had been undertaking various tasks during the afternoon.

Now we were #TeamTakeDown making sure vehicles exited the site safely, helping stallholders pack their stalls away, minding stalls whilst stall holders brought their cars closer to load and then made sure stallholders vehicles exited the site safely. The High Street was soon returned to normal appearance and we all went our separate ways home but not before Sheila and Angela collected their award winning competition entries.

Sheila, Jen and Angela helped out during Maidenhead Town Show, a great community event raising funds for Thames Valley Adventure Playground. our tasks were varied, including looking after the Craft area, selling raffle tickets, blowing up balloons, checking that stallholders were Ok, and bringing them teas & coffees. It was great to be able to contribute to such a lovely event despite the weather, and Sheila was very excited to meet Alex Horne and tell him all about Goodgym!

Sheila and myself had an early start this morning, as Goodgym volunteers for the Maidenhead Town Show set-up. We joined the other voluteers and, unlike last year, we had more of a supervisory role rather than hands-on. We started directing the cars arriving to their allocated stall spot on the High Street. Then Sheila got kitted with a walkietalkie and helped sort out any impromptu issues, while I was posted by the main entrance to the Nicholson Centre with the mission of only allowing authorised personnel and stall holders in until opening time. As a bonus, we were present to the opening ceremony, where the local MP, the Mayor and Alex Horne declared the show open. Let the fun begin!

After a successful and well-attended Town Show, help was needed from Goodgym to help all the stallholders pack up, leave the building and load up their cars. One disabled participant in particular needed help transporting all her stuff to her car, so well done to everyone for helping her out. Rosie earned her L-plates on the trolley cart, and we got SO many thanks from the stallholders for going the extra mile to help them get packed up in super quick time. Well done also to Stephan for manning the tombola stall for a couple of shifts. A brilliant effort from everyone, helping make the Show such a success

Rachel, Georgeta, Neeta and Sheila got up very early on a Sunday morning to help out at the Town Show. Stallholders arriving at the entrance to the Nicholsons Centre had to be found a place to park temporarily while they unloaded their stuff, directed to their pitch and sent off to park their cars, all as quickly as possible before the next cohort arrived. Everyone worked tirelessly, particularly helping the solo stallholders, and some of them had ALOT of stuff! Great work, everyone

Having helped with setting up for Maidenhead Town Show in the morning, the time had to come to take it all down again. The Goodgym team did any amazing job of helping stallholders to transport their goods across the Nicholsons Centre, look after it while their fetched their vehicles, and then help them load up. We transported all sorts of weird and wonderful things, including Geraldine the Giraffe. It all went very smoothly, and before long the Nicholsons Centre was transformed back to its usual self. Anne from the Craft Coop extends her thanks to everyone who helped out. Also well done to Amy, Georgeta and Sheila who were all award-winners in the Arts and Craft show. Go Goodgym!
