Was it a bank holiday? Yes! Was the weather terrible? Yes!
Thanks to the six of you that joined me last night and came for a worthwhile run in Brent.
Egg-static about doing good and getting fit
Last night we were helping Cricklewood Library raise awareness of their second fundraising ceilidh which is going to be held at the Clayton Crown Hotel on Cricklewood on Cricklewood Broadway on the 13th April.
Two new runners tonight - a big GG Brent welcome to Nadav and Alec!
Alec joined us as both a new runner and a representative of Cricklewood Library - he brought along the flyers for us and then joined us on our run - thanks for a great effort. Alec explained to us about the proposed library and the issues that have been encountered with the new development as well as explaining that currently the community was being served by a number of pop-up libraries at various underground stations.
Egg-cellent runners
It was great to have Alec along to explain the scenario and give us some information on what sounds like it will be a fantastic ceilidh too - a live band and caller and three sessions over the night - it'll be more of a workout than our run I think!
As ever we started the night off with a quick intro on GoodGym and with that done we headed off towards Gladstone Park and the library. Alec knew a quieter route for us so ended up leading the way (thanks!) and it wasn't long till we were at the new library. Currently it's a shell of a building but if everything goes to plan it will be open as a library and community hub for the start of 2019.
Going the egg-stra mile
We split into groups and then worked our way up three roads taking on side roads where we had time - meeting up back at the library after 35 minutes of swift delivery work! Once we got back we worked out that we had delivered around 600 flyers - great effort everyone! We're hoping that lots get raised for Cricklewood Library and we're certainly looking forward to coming back and helping once the building starts to be properly kitted out!
That's all yolks
With that we said our goodbye to Alec and headed back to base. A quick stretch off and an update on next week's task for Canal and River Trust and GG Brent was done for another week!
Cheers everyone, Pritesh
p.s. Thanks to Alec for the guest pun - an egg-straordinary feat of alliteration!
p.p.s. sorry for the easter/egg puns!
