Meanwhile in Westminster our task for this evening was to distribute flyers for St John's Hospice's annual Easter Fayre on Saturday March 19 and Sunday March 20 which will be open from 11am-6pm at St John’s Wood Church Gardens, Wellington Road NW8 7PF.

For the past 30 years St John’s Hospice, which is an independent charity located within the Hospital of St John and St Elizabeth in St John’s Wood has provided high quality specialised palliative care to more than 3,000 terminally-ill patients and their families every year most of whom live in and around Central and North West London.

This care is offered free of charge and its events such as the Easter Fayre that raise valuable funds to keep this work going.

Now with 12 eager GoodGymers the plan was simple head down to St John's wood and a steady pace speak to passers by, leave them on cars, pop them through letter boxes and if we could find anyway to speak to give them one tooooo. So that's exactly what we did and of course we smoked whilst doing it.

On arriving in St. John's Wood we split up into two teams then 6 smaller teams and worked our way through the roads admiring the pretty houses and wondering what the cos of heating one of them was lol.

With such teamwork we were finished in no time at, regrouped, high fived and headed back to base and pace.

As always GREAT JOB people, Thankyou.. Till next week.
