Superb turn out for the Goodness Festival and follow up tour. We met lots of new interesting people, had lots to share and the day ended perfectly with the help of our skilled volunteer staff on the day and the wonderful gourmet afternoon teas provided which catered for just about all diets. A special thank you to Johnny, Kathryn, Rina and Patrick for all your help.
