Meanwhile in Bestminster our plan for this evening was a simple one. Hand out and drop off leaflets in Central and West Westminster for over 50s charity Open Age

Open Age was established in 1993 and they’re now celebrating over 20 years of championing an active life for older people. Their aim is to enable anyone aged 50 or older to sustain their physical and mental fitness, maintain an active lifestyle and develop new and stimulating interests.

They provide a wide range of physical, creative and mentally stimulating activities to enable older people to develop new skills, fulfil their potential and most importantly make new friends.

Now from reports coming in we were going to blessed with beautiful weather up until 1945 so the plan was to run so fast and deliver the leaflets at such a high speed that we would of course beat the light rain and powerful winds.

With a few newbies attending they were all given the full lowdown on the wonderfulness of both Open Age and GoodGym and leaflets in hand we were off.

Floating up and down back streets, main roads and dead ends working in unison with the odd passer by we got the job done in know time at all.

5k later, 300 leaflets deep we arrived back safely just before quarter tooooo for a well deserved glass of bubbly..... water lol

Thanks for coming...... see y'all next week....
