Gazebos, ponchos and raino
7 GoodGymers made their way to help their local community in Hackney.

Seven GoodGymers met on a drizzly Saturday morning to help local gem Abney Park Cemetery set up for their spring fundraiser.
Abney Park Trust run an annual Spring Fayre, with lots of stalls, food outlets and activities for kids. The Abney team had lots to get ready before the big day, so having GoodGym along to help set up the gazebos meant they could get on with the main tasks
The group arrived to find 12 gazebos laid out for them, and quickly became experts at setting them up!
By the time the showers started, luckily we'd already got one gazebo up, which we sheltered under while the team at Abney kindly ran round dispensing ponchos!
After about an hour, all 12 gazebos were popped-up, pegged-down and had tables set up, ready for the stall holders to come in for the Spring Fayre.
Shout out to Alex for joining us for his first ever GoodGym session, and to Alberto for bringing a team of additional helpers!
The Abney Spring Fayre was a great day out - thanks everyone for your help!
