Leaflets, Prayers and Fairs

Monday 10th August

Written by Newcastle runner

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!

More leaflets for Dunston - Fair enough!

Wednesday 5th August

Written by Newcastle runner

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:

  1. Dunston is very hilly in places.
  2. Some houses on hills in Dunston have lots of steep steps up to their letterboxes.
  3. Lots of houses in Dunston have animal themed ornaments in their gardens!

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!

Fair Play in Dunston

Monday 3rd August

Written by Newcastle runner

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!

The Dun-stoppable Leafleteers

Monday 27th July

Written by Newcastle runner

Five GoodGymers ran, walked and cycled to Dunston to deliver some leaflets to promote Dunston Fair. It was a very pleasant Monday evening with some glorious views across the River Tyne.

We zigzagged around the slightly unusual street layout, an area we have delivered leaflets in several times before. It was a successful evening, with lots of steps accumulated, but there are many more leaflets to deliver. We'll be back next week for more of the same, please join us if you can!
