Part 2 of leafleting for this weekend's Picnic in the Park with runners and walkers pounding the streets of St Werburghs, St Agnes and St Pauls - all very saintly.

With new maps and a stock of leaflets, letterboxes were targeted (after a quick fig at the Community Centre) with a bizarre number of fake/sealed letterboxes out to fool us.

The walking group had an unexpectedly sharp stop to leafleting when Caroline slid over on a piece of wood, twisting her ankle. As someone who doesn't have Uber on her phone (I know, right?!), it was a call to an actual taxi company and having to use road names instead of a dropped pin for location. Old School!

With a bit more leafleting and Caroline on her way home, Jason had an unexpected run back to Workout to reunite with Melanie and the runners Richard, Ed and Cameron and Darren who'd managed to find some energy after a long day at work with no lunch.

After establishing Senegal is hosting the YOUTH Olympics, not the WINTER Olympics, conversation moved to Ed's preferred and least sought after volunteering roles - our money's on drug testing again. But good lick with the half marathon in the meantime.

it was back to a bit if leafleting for GG Bristol on a lovely evening.

Lots of residents were interested to hear about the Picnic in the Park next weekend but the absolute favourite was the letter box dymo taped message expressing GRATITUDE TO THE DELIVERY PERSON - we feel loved! And cats. Many, many cats, including reverse image white with black moustache and black with white moustache.

Leafleting means lots of chat during the task which carried on as we went to GoodGym Eats' September's outing at Three Brothers, where sadly there was no Ting for sale or even to see. Maybe next time?

A warm one with a hydrating coffee pre-task and some very hot letter boxes!

Ah, the joy of not meltingly hot nor drenchingly wet weather. Perfect for a spit of checking out front doors and their letterboxes to spread the word about home insulation information available at drop-in events at St Werburghs Community Centre.

Rasa and Matty (Matt/Matthew) picked a great, chatty session for their first GoodGym task and we hope to see them again soon.

Exploring bits of Bristol we've never seen before is always an added benefit of leafleting and the workout of steps and bending to ridiculously low letterboxes leads to hugely increased respect for our post people. And cats. The opportunity to stroke random cats.

The runners headed to the Centre to collect their leaflets and pick off some of the terraced streets i St Werburghs, the walkers made use of the leaflets Melanie had picked up on Monday for the first delivery session with Richard and popped to Montpelier.

Many leaflets left at residents' residences, it was off to the soon-to-close Raj on King Street for a lovely, very funny if very slow GG Eats with a stand-up robotic-specialist waiter, big spoons, vegan paneer, nutty boiled rice and many other highlights.

More GoodGymming next week?

Having double and even triple checked we were definitely on for St Werb's Community Centre, its was time to get excited about counting cutlery for the Festive Friends event. Oh, and wrapping Christmas gifts.

It was a great first task for https://www.thecomedybox.co.uk/site/301.asp?catID=2508 to get stuck in to, with Ousmane proving his photography skills weren't a one-off last week.

As the runners sped (faster than the walkers) off across town, the walkers maximised their chat time on a delightfully dry evening, past the Christmas Fair in Castle Park and many-a group enjoying the evening.

Harsheh has developed a new skill of getting ins huge number of the photos, whilst Becky shared that attaching lengths of sticky tape to a technical T-shirt is a fabulous storage tactic as they peel back off wherever your ready for them, no fluff included!

The cutlery was speedily counted with Carolineon Quality Control to ensure no soup spoons were mixed in with the dessert spoons before moving on to ensure every price sticker was removed pre-wrapping.

The team effort of cutting paper and tape and wrapping the gifts, with only Richard B managing to make a parcel look rude, was a veritable hive of activity and soon the trays of unwrapped gifts were trays of festively wrapped ones.

The walkers had a head-start but soon saw the runners ahead of then at a road crossing enabling most of the runners to have already ordered at the bar and arranged a big enough table for us to enjoy the treat of mince pies from Richard B.

That was a great evening, shall we so it all again next week? Fewer* parcels to wrap though. *None.

Sooo, not quite according to plan as (again) the confirmed task materials weren't at the venue, and the rain was torrential, so GoodGym Bristol turned all resourceful and found their way to an indoor venue (that may have sold alcoholic drinks as well as hot ones) and Ed saved the day by having quiz sheets and pens in his backpack. OK, they were supposed to be for his colleagues the next day but our needs were greater and Ed could always print some more off the next morning!
