Into the Wild Green Yonder
3 GoodGymers made their way to help the Brentford Festival in Ealing.
- Sunday, 1st of September 2024
- Led by Kash
The Brentford Festival setup task on Sunday morning at Blondin Park welcomed us with two things: mints that Linda, the event manager, handed to all volunteers, and a sight of a leaking wheelbarrow.
"Looks like your barrow didn't make it to a portaloo" - Sevan.
Ealing GoodGymers Sevan and Kash, and Gus, who - similarly to the Brentford Festival itself - operated on the boundaries between Ealing and Hounslow, joined Nick and two other festival crew members. The six-person team set up three gazebos of varying numbers of legs and difficulty - an excellent refresher job to check the GoodGymers' knowledge of their straps and pins!
After finishing with the tents, the GoodGym trio looked for Linda to ask for some odd jobs. Among the assignments were:
- Fetching keys
- Fetching a speaker set
- Locating the equipment for the bar tent
- Setting up a fence for a dog show
- Locating a standpipe in an apple orchard (sadly, that one did not work out)
The morning session culminated with Gus' solo SAS-style expedition through a scrub to deliver the key ingredient to every successful festival stage: the power cable. Did he make it back from the wild green yonder? Read about the next task to find out!
