A sssslippery customer

Four GoodGymers reconvened at Forest Rec this week to do some more promotion for the Nottingham Green Festival. Our original task for the evening was supposed to be at a school but sadly that had to be cancelled. Luckily, we had enough notice to get hold of more leaflets so that we could finish what we started the previous week (see that report here).

This week it was Leah, Nigel, Tom and Rachel, so we split into pairs and wound our way up the roads in the Forest Fields area. Although we had more leaflets than last time, as we approached Gladstone Street we decided to pop into the Sumac Centre again to attempt to get some more to keep up stocked for the rest of the hour (Nigel and Soliane had also volunteered to drop some into town in the next couple of days so we wanted to grab some for that).

Luck was on our side this week and we found Pat, one of the Green Festival organisers, on site so he furnished us with another pile of flyers. This meant we could continue posting in letterboxes as we headed down another of the long roads back to Forest Rec. Before heading home, Leah dished out some of the This Girl Can merch from the back of her car - there are still some water bottles and tote bags left if anyone wants them. Nigel also managed to drop a few leaflets to the sports centre at the recreation ground.

Now, you may think that the most exciting thing about a leafleting task is the thrill of whether the gate will open, if there will be a dog barking inside or whether the letter box will try to take your fingers with the leaflet?? Well, think again. Tom delivered a leaflet to A SNAKE!! (well, it was a man with a snake poking out of his sleeve, but still a rather unexpected encounter).

A big thankssss to everyone for a sssssuper tasssk!

We have lots of great tasks coming up (hopefully without snakes) - check them out and sign up at https://www.goodgym.org/v3/areas/nottingham/sessions. If you have any questions at all before signing up, feel free to drop the TaskForce and email at goodgymnottingham@gmail.com.
