On a cold and frosty night we met Ann at the Groves Association headquarters for more stacks of leaflets and after a quick divvying up of remaining streets set out in pairs (with a roving Maddy catching Louise and Tay on the go after a parking nightmare!)

Rich and I quickly discovered that the "magic trades button" to allow deliveries to the many flats we were planning to do doesn't work in the evening, so only managed to do the flats with lax security standards. Heading back to base we found Babs and Vicky had finished already, and the final three weren't far behind (after similar trade button issues)

After a quick chat with Ann about their AGM and local history evening (all welcome, and "there may even be a bar") we all headed off home ASAP to warm our frozen fingers and noses!
