This week saw us help out two charities. One was Faithworks Wessex, helping them promote through a flyer drop, a free event they are holding for the community to help those affected by addictions. The other charity was Abbeyfield Wessex who look after a number of senior living buildings in Bournemouth.

We welcomed back Jodie with open arms! She hadn't been since way before Christmas so it was great to have her back. She went back home last week and was able to be part of the Newcastle launch too! Great to have you back, hope you can make it regularly!

David was also back in Bournemouth again so like any normal person he joined up with us straight away! Excellent!

The flyer drop route took us along the Prom and all the fitness levels were catered to, three or four led the way and we were scattered in two and threes catching up on the weeks events and gossip from trips and life.

We started our synchonised drop soon after and only managed to temporarily lose Lee and Caprice...everything else went according to plan!! 300 flyers dropped for each charity and still had time to pose for team photos on our way back and do our stretch in time for 8pm!!! No cut fingers, no rabid dogs or dodgy people either....very peaceful! Even had some Bournemouth Uni students and kids cheer us on!!!

Thank you Lee for the photos!! Abi and Andrea, despite not feeling great managed to still turn up!! Next week we are doing some fence painting which should be lots of fun!

If you are around come on down!!!!

Well done everyone!!
