A dual task in sunny(ish) Southsea this evening.

Half the group finished off the flyer delivery for "Along the Coast" (If you want to join in the fun on the 18th June, we'll be meeting up at the event). We had a secret weapon in the form of Sammy who was amazing at running into venues & persuading them to take some leaflets. Jen & Dave had done an excellent first round of the cafes & other earlier opening places and we even spotted some of the flyers on display.

Judy led the other half of the group who litter picked round Waverley Road park. As far as I understand, most of the conversations cannot be reported but a lot of core strength had been accumulated from the belly laughing. Neighbourly good deeds were done, GoodGym was well advertised, an old spirit bottle was rescued from a tree and many cigarette butts were collected.

We managed to finish up our efforts at almost exactly the same time.

Great efforts all round by the team.


This task supported
