Leaf-let's go to Bed-minster

A South Bristol extravanganza today as a dozen runners toured Bedminster and the surrounding area to deliver packs and flyers for Lifecycle.

Meeting at Roll For The Soul, we welcomed Jacob and Gulnara to the group for their first GoodGym experience, and Neil kindly outlined the work that Lifecycle do.

Our task today was to deliver promotional packs for Lifecycle to community and sports centres, GP surgeries and libraries around South Bristol and drop off flyers to cafes, shops and bars along North Street in Bedminster.

David H, David S, Sarah and Dom opted for the longer distance option by heading out along the Malago Greenway to deliver packs around Knowle West, doing us proud despite the distraction of blackberries heading through the Novers Hill area.

Paul, Neil and Nick headed through Redcliffe over to the Windmill Hill area and beyond to St Johns Lane, delivering packs along the way before dropping back down to North Street to deliver flyers.

Kait, Petra, Jacob, Gulnara and myself headed to Southville and on to Bedminster, taking a tour of a number of parks around the area and admiring a lot of areas where we have have done GoodGym tasks in the past. Job done the team then headed down the other end of North Street for some flyer delivery.

Managing to regroup around West Street, the whole gang then headed back for base, with Paul leading us on a longer and more scenic journey home.

This was great teamwork today and great to see that we could manage to set off in three different groups, get the task done and still meet up to run back together. Thank you everyone!

Back at base we congratulated David S for completing his 50th good deed today - nice one!

A reminder that we have tasks on Tuesday with Growing Support and next Saturday with Incredible Edible - two of our favourite groups to work with. There is also a Tuesday eats social after the run.

Many thanks and see you all again soon!
