It was fantastic to see Surbiton market back up and running again for the first time since February and the recent restrictions didn't put the locals off either as the whole of Kingston seemed to be out and about, supporting their local community whislt keeping safe with masks, hand sanitiser and following the one way system in place too. It's a strange world we live in these days but it'll take more than a global pandemic to stop the people of Surbiton getting their foccaia bread or award winning black hummus. GoodGym’s task were to run 'security' on both the entrance and exits and to (wo)man the foodbank donation table. Petra and Kate took on the table and Claire, Freya and I took guard at either end of the market. We soon had people queuing up to get in and to get their Saturday sausage breakfast bap, luckily there was one left for a hungry Claire to snaffle towards the end. Thankfully everyone was very understanding with the measures put in place and seemed very grateful for the explanations of which way to walk round the market.
