We arrived to help set up the 116th Annual Petersham Horticulture Show and were greeted by Ken, who immediately set us to work putting up bunting to draw in the crowds.

We de-tangled, reached high with cable ties, and battled with a keen breeze to line the route from the road and guide punters to the horticultural delights within.

Lucy had got a head start on the rest of us, coming straight from Park Run, so when she left for her next task and Ken asked the remaining four to divide into two groups, we naturally split between those already in possession of the much-coveted black tshirts, and those not far off them.

Beth and Rosie continued bunting about the place, adding welcome signs to reassure weary travellers they were almost at their destination, while JP and Suze used brain and brawn setting up the coconut shy.

Another group of GoodGymers will be back later to help pack the show away, good luck with all the cable ties, guys!
