Chelmsford Report written by David Chatterjee
So at the top of where I right this it says 'Tell us how you got on'. Hmmm...
We got on great! Traffic held up a couple of folk on the way and then two Dunmow athletes, Nick and David, showed up having seen us online! Mike was slightly concerned we were leafletting for tomorrow's election (don't forget to go out and vote) but of course not! For a variety of charities: Farleigh Hospice, Helen Rollason, City Sounds Radio, Age Concern, Beaulieu Community centre, and CVS.
We set off chatting to meet Fay, fresh from a weekend out in Peckham, who had the leaflets. It was only then I noticed Andy's new shoes! Very clean. Very blue. Andy and I are part of a marathon world record (part of the largest marathon ballot ever).
After dishing out the leaflets we headed off to deliver. Nipping between houses we covered the first area. Jen is excited to replicate her husband's stag do in Amsterdam at the end of this month with him and three small children, Mike told us how he used to be a marshmallow magnate at school, and Richard almost managed to go missing. Perhaps a sign of things to come...
We headed back down the main road to find more houses. There were a lot of leaflets so we split up as I nipped to Dovedale Sports Centre. Leaving Fay in charge for two minutes while I did that, carnage ensued. Initially losing half of us, we found Nick and David who were talking house prices and doing stunning work with their leaflets.
The issue then was we couldn't find Richard and Mike anywhere. Going up and down streets and sending unsuccessful carrier pigeons we eventually saw them wearily trekking towards us. Yes! With everyone we needed back together we returned to the uni being cheered on down the high street.
On to next week when it is Broomfield allotments and we won't lose anyone!

There was plenty to celebrate as six GoodGymers helped six local organisations spread the word about their good work by preparing their leaflets for delivery next week.
Fay, Laurie, Andy and Martin reported back on that afternoon’s Chelmsford CVS’s charity update forum. GoodGym Chelmsford got a shout out for its 10th birthday, and the cakes from Chelmsford WI won rave reviews.
Ben was proudly wearing his brand new black GoodGym t-shirt after completing 50 good deeds. Congratulations! It looks like Erin will be next to join the illustrious club.
Thanks everyone for some great leaflet folding - and see you next week to get them through letterboxes.
