A Fork in the GROAD !

Minus 2. Think on that for a sec.... It was minus 2 degrees C last night and we STILL had a bumper group of 14 people turn out to help us flyer for our friends at GROAD - that's awesome #LambethGGTeam !!

We also had a few firsts which continues the great start to 2023 with Marie Noelle and her husband joining us by walking to the task - soyez les bienvenues - and Sadaf who attended her first Mission on Saturday joining us for her first Group Run, welcome.

It was also exciting to have Joao do his filming to pass his Run Leader training, we are delighted to have some great run leaders in Lambeth who can help us to grow the work we do and wish him good luck in getting his training signed off!!

And so to our task, we received the flyers from Andrea courtesy of super Sam and they were for the Open House so a slight change to the planned location of the deliveries and a slightly shorter run (I'm not prone to conspiracy theories but Sam brought flyers which led to a shorter run for Lambeth during the Jan Challenge......)

The cold weather and filming back at Papa's meant the AA headed out distractedly and managed to forget the flyers which he had put down to record Joao's warm up however Sam and Joao were on the ball and picked them up so disaster was avoided - thanks guys. We didn't have a great big stack of flyers as usual but we had enough to split into two groups at Loughborough Junction bridge (aforementioned fork in the GROAD...) with one heading to the estates back towards Brixton and the rest towards Kings College Hospital. In short order all the flyers were delivered and we met back at the Crossroads (insert favourite song called Crossroads like Frances did) ready to get back to base and on to the newly reinstated monthly Social!

A couple of special mentions: Kaz (aka the Wandsworth Wanderer) well done on your category choice CHOCOLATE a solid dessert choice and Frances for wearing a home knitted GoodGym headband, fantastic creativity!

Thanks everyone, your efforts will make a difference to GROAD and the people who access their services and I hope you had a nice time in the pub afterwards as well.
