This was such a great GoodGym session! Sol, Sheila, Jen, Jess and I helped Cookham Arts Club set up for their annual Summer exhibition.

We had a great mix of tasks:

  • Shifting display screens out from a very cosy space under the stage..."Mind your head Jess! We're clear!"

  • Synchonised slotting of hooks into holes to hang each screen from posts around the room..."In top, in bottom, in and in on our side! And ours!"

  • Team challenge to stick numbers on the 37 screens in record timing. This looked like a one person job, but we divided into blue tack stickers, number runners, and long-armed number stickers, all directed by clipboard lady Jen - go team!

  • Shifting paintings from the stage to their designated screens

  • Carefully hanging paintings in their designated spots using special hooks

  • Jiggling (technical term) hung paintings around to get them all evenly spaced...it's a fine art!

  • Setting up chairs and tables for lunch

  • More shifting of chairs and tables

We also had the pleasure of being the first people to see the paintings hung and window shopping for our favourites. There was a great mix of different styles, media and subject matter on display - very inspiring!

As if that wasn't enough, we were also treated to a home made buffet lunch, including second helpings of some very scrummy puddings. Thank you CAC! You've got us hooked!
