Two GoodGymers helped out at Newcastle City Council's Allotment & Garden Festival. The task today was to man the information desk and direct people to where they needed to go, and to try to answer any questions. Most of the questions were about allotment plots. Fortunately the allotment officer was nearby, so we could direct people his way.

We also had the GoodGym flag up and some of our postcards and flyers on the desk. Several people stopped by for a lengthy chat about GoodGym. If any of you are reading this, please sign up and check out the list of upcoming sessions!

At the end of the day, we bumped into Sue from Greenhill Allotments, and helped the allotment association pack away all their things. The festival is quite a large scale event with lots to see and do. It'll be back next year and is well worth a visit.
