Three GoodGymers visiting Dunston for the final Monday to deliver some more leaflets for Dunston Fair.
For the first time in quite some time, we got a little bit wet on a Monday night, but fortunately the worst of the rain stayed away until we were finished. We delivered leaflets to most of the streets in the immediate vicinity of Dunston Park that hadn't received them before, venturing right up to the entrance to the park at one point. Three of us managed to deliver 500-550 more leaflets, which given the layout of the street we were quite impressed with.
There are two further, and final, Dunston Fair leaflet delivering sessions this Saturday. Please check the session listings and come along if you can!

GoodGym Newcastle branched out and headed south of the Tyne again to deliver more Dunston Fair leaflets tonight. It was a very pleasant evening for a stroll around the mostly terraced streets we targeted.
In the course of our leafleting we stumbled upon Gateshead Central Baptist Church, which we now know has cycle racks outside it. Then we unexpectedly came across an Eritrean church which we didn't know was there. An interesting route for a walk tonight and many hundreds of leaflets delivered!
We'll be delivering Dunston Fair leaflets for the final Monday next week. Please come and join us, but please read the listing carefully!

This was the third of an as yet unknown number of sessions delivering leaflets to support Love Dunston and getting the word out about their summer fair later this month. Five (yes - five - on a Wednesday afternoon!) GoodGymers walked 5.5km and delivered another few hundred leaflets.
We discovered:
I've included our Strava map for your admiration - it turned out to be quite an efficient coverage of streets quite close to where the fair is going to be held. Plus, as some of you know, I love a leaflet delivery Strava map!
We have at least one more session with these leaflets at our group run on Monday, and possibly more to come. Check out the website!

Three GoodGymers spent Monday evening delivering leaflets for Dunston Fair around the Teams and Dunston area of Gateshead. Abbie, making her GoodGym debut, and Richard ran from Stepney Bank Stables along river, while Louise made her own way to the meeting point.
That area of Gateshead isn't the easiest in which to deliver leaflets, with some interesting street layouts. We've delivered leaflets in the same area numerous times before so are used to it.
Thank you very much to Abbie for coming along from Darlington for the first time and we hope the journey home was smooth!
Please join Louise on Wednesday to deliver some more leaflets!

Today, I collected for Marie Curie at Byker Morrisons. No yellow hats were worn today. It was relatively quiet today, however high spirits were all around. Have a lovely weekend everyone!
