5 Speedy Goodgymmers made their way around Bounds Green for a leaflet drop on behalf of the Springfield Park Fun Day next month. And dropped it they did, reader! Dropped it like it's hot!

The Goodgymmer Always Knocks Twice

Dave, Clare, Charlie and Gramps met under an almost full Harvest Moon at Blue House Yard for a nice and quick 2kish run to task. Along the way they picked up Rosa (aka Mama Gramps) and they were ready for the task at hand.

Haringey Council and the good folk at TCV are hosting a Fun Day at Springfield Park in October as they canvass and mobilise the community for some future improvements to this community green space.

Armed with a multitude of leaflets and a map of the areas to be targeted, our Goodgymmers began snaking their way through Bounds Green. Oh, it's always a great sight to behold. As usual, Dave sped away instantly like the Energizer Bunny, but tonight he had competition from Clare who is quite clearly a natural at this task and picked up speed straight away too. Our resident speedster Charlie kept them company while Gramps and Mama Gramps moved at a more gingerly pace a few miles behind them.

After around 30 minutes, we had covered all the roads that we had been asked to leaflet but as we still had a few of them, we improvised and carried on for a bit longer. We even managed to hand a few out to passersby who were bemused by our efforts.

A few pics here, a few laughs there, we were all done by 8pm. Boom!

Join us next week for more fun and games!
