Three GoodGymers remained in South Ealing after their second Sunday task: woodchipping at the cemetery and decided on one more good deed in the area. Northfields Community Library asked GoodGym for support in letting the South Ealing and Little Ealing residents know what it has to offer. Not only books! The volunteer-led library runs IT courses, hosts Ealing Repair Cafe sessions and holds coffee mornings. The locals should be informed about such a vibrant community hub at their doorstep!

The GoodGymers Steph, Sevan and Kash, after lunch in the sun, spent 75 minutes walking around sunlit South Ealing, posting the Northfields Library leaflets through letterboxes. Since they were a team of few GoodGymers and many leaflets, they followed Sevan's strategy to stick together to one side of a street (left) and follow the road until reaching a junction (then go left). By keeping going left, they'd eventually go right - that way, they finished one of the two high-priority leafletting areas they had started at an earlier group run.

After many steps towards making the library better known (and steps to burn the Italian lunch), Steph set off for a faraway GoodGym community mission. Sevan and Kash, as locals, decided to spend an extra 30 minutes after the official session end, wandering around in the sun - staying at home didn't seem as fun on such a lovely day! Still having leaflets in their hands, they covered the roads North of the South Ealing Cemetery.
