Report written by Charlotte Emms
The first day of London being put into tier 2 saw some brilliant GoodGym Lambeth runners meet at the Portico Gallery to help patch up some gazebos for the monthly West Norwood Feast.
They had some unlucky weather at the October Feast which put the gazebos to the waterproof test and many of them were in need of a bit of love. A small group of us had helped to mend about three gazebos the week before but this week, armed with more GoodGymmers, we were sure we'd power through loads more.
With Methuselah the cat watching and judging our every move, we set to work taping gazebo after gazebo and piling them up on the side ready to be transported to a new location for next month's use.
Over an hour of hustle and bustle saw us patch up over ten gazebo covers pretty thoroughly so we're feeling sure that even the wettest weather won't see those stalls getting soaked at the November Feast!
Feast is a community market in West Norwood run by volunteers on the first Sunday of the month from April to December. Our aim is to 'make West Norwood an even better place to live'. We have 60 plus market stalls with mostly local traders and a community focus with free children's activities, free community stalls and Tea and Talk for older members of the community.
