Three Goodgymers turned up at 4pm on Friday 29 June to meet Ken and Dr. Emily to help the Petersham Horticulture Society set up for their annual show. For 115 years it has been held in the same Village Hall but for the 116 Show it had to move to a new hall. So The GoodGym was on hand to help load all the tables, boxes, marquees into vans at the old hall and unload them at The Russell School Hall and help start putting them into place for the Show on Saturday. Old wood trestle tables were assembled and laid out and boxes of coconuts were put out for the coconut shy. Tables were cleaned and table clothes laid out ready for the entries on Saturday morning. In a few hours we return to finish the task on Saturday 1 July.

We are a not for profit organisation which aims to infuse our community with a love of garden, baking and craft. We run events throughout the year for young and old. Every summer we hold a summer show which allows a bit of friendly competition and results in a hall filled with produce and many happy smiles.
