After arriving slightly early to discuss a good meeting point and whether the parking restrictions on First Ave had changed in the last 6 years, Fay and I headed over to meet Laurie and help carry the huge stack of leaflets back.

We greeted Jane, Andy and Martin and said cheerio to Fay as she left to drive the leaflets over. The rest of us had a steady pace over to Melbourne, during which I led not just the run but a good old moaning session about how hectic life is! Thankfully, Laurie and Jane agreed and were happy to join in, while Martin and Andy luckily escaped with their own conversation!

We met Fay and proceeded to deliver all the leaflets while only getting slightly confused about which roads we had already walked down and all commenting that we had never seen so many cats in one area!

Martin and Fay bid us farewell, while the remaining 4 delivered the last few leaflets on the way home. Thanks everyone!

Jen

This was a nice leisurely community mission to do over your own time. Bonus points to Sallyann for going to the originally planned little library, Jen for her wonderful assistants, and Jane for managing not to return home with 8746 extra books!

Don't forget its the National Year of Reading and any attempts to increase the amount of enjoyment people get from reading should be commended!

Might list a few more of these type of missions too.

We ventured into new territory to do some prep ahead of our next leaflet delivery task. Four GoodGymers ran to our first leaflet folding session at the Orange Tree, with Jen impressing everyone with her trekking exploits and Andy scaring the local dogs. We met Fay and Sallyann and the leaflets at the venue, and got to work compiling the information for half a dozen good causes. After Rich made a quick dash home for some plastic bags to carry the bundles away, we watched the sun set as we made our way back, with Martin, Jen and Andy discussing GoodGym protocol about when to start getting out heads torches out again.
