Lamp-posted

Following a task cancellation on Monday, we headed out on a very cold evening midweek group run session to drop leaflets for St Oswald's Light up a Life campaign.

It was a tag-team effort as Paul went ahead of us to collect the leaflets and hand them over for the delivery to begin!

We targeted Jesmond, starting at the metro station and working our way down to Holly Avenue, working quite slowly at first due to the long driveways and sets of flats. Louise also managed to walk into a lamp post - twice - due to being so bundled up under a hood that she couldn't see where she was going.

We picked up speed and broke off into small teams as we reached some houses with shorter driveways, the only thing slowing us down by then being extremely cold, numb hands! 200 leaflets done in 45 minutes and amazingly very few Christmas trees counted.

We have got one last area to target which we are going to do on Monday night, starting at Ilford Road station. Let's see if we can go even faster!
