Stop what you are doing and immediately go and give Alfie a big cheer. After signing up to GoodGym last summer, he finally made it along to his first ever GoodGym happening with only mild cajoling by Dan!
On what was a freezing cold evening we were actually pleased to have the hill of Westgate Road to contend with as we set off on a leafleting task to promote a community event for Reviving the Heart of the West End. As with all good GoodGym tasks this was a team effort, with Paul collecting the leaflets and handing them over to me, myself Aimee and Michael walking, while Dan and Alfie ran.
Squad!
We definitely add "leaflet experts" to our collective CV and we talked about how quickly we can get this task done now as well as having our favourite types of door, path and gate. Rock and Roll Mondays, eh!
I had the unfortunate experience of trapping my finger in a letter box as it SNAPPED shut, and we had a sympathetic LOL at Aimee as she had the awkward moment of posting a leaflet at the same time a man opened a door. (CACKLE)
In just 20 minutes, 200 leaflets were DROPPED across four streets so we have a set plan to finish next week. I would love to see you back for this one, its such a satisfying task. We were definitely warmer by the end of this one and knew we had really made a difference by spreading the word to so many homes that will hopefully get involved.
PS: also discovered tonight, can you believe the film Hairspray is 15 years old?! Random Monday Fact.
