For today's task, I was flying solo on behalf of GoodGym. I visited the Brixton Windmill Beer & Bread Festival to help with the closedown of the festival. The festival was still in full swing when I arrived just after 5:00 pm. Still, I soon helped out with folding and taking the tables back to storage, helping to take down gazebos and placing them in the loft area of the storage room which is very handy as it helps to create space down below and finally the removal of a maypole, which I assume was used for a morris dancing activity during the festival. Along with a fellow volunteer, we dug it out of the ground and moved it towards the garden area.

The volunteers at the windmill were grateful for GoodGym's help in setting up and clearing up for the festival.
