After parkrun this morning five GoodGymmers explored the streets of Marsh, Huddersfield delivering flyers to promote Marshfest. Marshfest is an annual music festival held at the Ukrainian Club on Edgerton Road. It aims to raise funds and awareness for local poverty charities, promote local grassroots music, inspire young people's interest in music and arts, and provide an affordable family festival in Huddersfield. What’s not to like! This year Marshfest is on Saturday 20th July and a ticket for over 14s is only £5 and kids go free. It’s a great day out (and the bar is cheap too!) Some GoodGymmers got off to a speedy start, while others found delivering flyers while eating a post parkrun bacon buttie a bit of a challenge. Once everyone had breakfasted we soon got into the rhythm and delivered all the flyers. As we had been delivering along GoodGymmer, Richard’s street he kindly invited us in for a very nice coffee and biscuit. I have taken note of this and will now be organising all future Community Missions in the vacinity of GoodGymmers homes so get the chocolate biscuits in everyone!?!
