This week the Magnifent GoodGym 7 delivered leaflets on behalf of some great local charities.

Rich met Sean, Jen, Andy and Russell (who lucky for us had managed to get away from work on time), while I walked ahead to Broomfield Road with the leaflets, where we met late sign up Fiona.

We split into groups to tackle different sides of the road, and headed off toward the park, where Jen had the honour of leafletting a house she used to live in.

Despite a lot of chatting, we made good progress, and headed back up Kings Road to finish the job.

We had loads of leaflets this time, but after an excellent team effort, they were all delivered in record time, and we jogged together back to the gym.

Our leaflets supported: 🎄 CHESS Homeless' Christmas appeal 🎄 Helen Rollason's Christmas fundraiser 🎄 Mind's festive fun run 🎄 Chelmsford City FC's community foundation 🎄Farleigh Hospice's Santa fun run and gift fayre 🎄 City Sound community radio

Well done everyone. Next week we are painting and sanding at Sanctus, followed by a social at Back Inn Time 🍻

On an autumnal evening we met outside hq with the knowledge that we would soon be indoors in the warmth of a lovely pub.

Fay and Sallyann generously chose to drive with the leaflets to the orange tree pub while myself, Andy, Jane and Sean ran through the mean streets of Chelmsford.

after we arrived ( and beat Fay and Sallyann ) we were greeted by Tate who kindly said we could set ourselves up anywhere we wanted, and more importantly, what do we want to drink?. i had a local IPA , delicious.

With the bigger table full of leaflets and 4 of us furiously folding leaflets, Andy and I were relegated to a smaller table to fend for ourselves. In short time all leaflets were folded and all glasses were emptied. we pack up, said our goodbye's and thanks to Tate and set off back into the night.

Next week we will be delivering the leaflets, and i hope to see you there

Until then...

RUN HAPPY

I'd organised this mission for my lunch break, so it was nice to log off and have a jog round to Mrs D's to help with her garden. It was cold and grey, but I soon warmed up, trimming back the overgrown bushes and sweeping the fallen leaves from the path, to allow Mrs D easy access to her patio and washing line. It was done within an hour, and we had a chat before I headed home to log on again. A lunch break well spent.
