So at the top of where I right this it says 'Tell us how you got on'. Hmmm...

We got on great! Traffic held up a couple of folk on the way and then two Dunmow athletes, Nick and David, showed up having seen us online! Mike was slightly concerned we were leafletting for tomorrow's election (don't forget to go out and vote) but of course not! For a variety of charities: Farleigh Hospice, Helen Rollason, City Sounds Radio, Age Concern, Beaulieu Community centre, and CVS.

We set off chatting to meet Fay, fresh from a weekend out in Peckham, who had the leaflets. It was only then I noticed Andy's new shoes! Very clean. Very blue. Andy and I are part of a marathon world record (part of the largest marathon ballot ever).

After dishing out the leaflets we headed off to deliver. Nipping between houses we covered the first area. Jen is excited to replicate her husband's stag do in Amsterdam at the end of this month with him and three small children, Mike told us how he used to be a marshmallow magnate at school, and Richard almost managed to go missing. Perhaps a sign of things to come...

We headed back down the main road to find more houses. There were a lot of leaflets so we split up as I nipped to Dovedale Sports Centre. Leaving Fay in charge for two minutes while I did that, carnage ensued. Initially losing half of us, we found Nick and David who were talking house prices and doing stunning work with their leaflets.

The issue then was we couldn't find Richard and Mike anywhere. Going up and down streets and sending unsuccessful carrier pigeons we eventually saw them wearily trekking towards us. Yes! With everyone we needed back together we returned to the uni being cheered on down the high street.

On to next week when it is Broomfield allotments and we won't lose anyone!

There was plenty to celebrate as six GoodGymers helped six local organisations spread the word about their good work by preparing their leaflets for delivery next week.

Fay, Laurie, Andy and Martin reported back on that afternoon’s Chelmsford CVS’s charity update forum. GoodGym Chelmsford got a shout out for its 10th birthday, and the cakes from Chelmsford WI won rave reviews.

Ben was proudly wearing his brand new black GoodGym t-shirt after completing 50 good deeds. Congratulations! It looks like Erin will be next to join the illustrious club.

Thanks everyone for some great leaflet folding - and see you next week to get them through letterboxes.

On a cold March evening myself, Andy and Jen met at the Old Factory Gym ready to set off into the wintery evening to deliver some leaflets for some deserving local charities. After running for what felt like an age ( less than a mile) we met Fay with two bags of said leaflets.

Splitting into two groups of two, we worked our way along the good streets of Chelmsford and then along the way Andy mentioned that last weekend he was in Bolton attending a national hospital radio awards ceremony.... THAT HE WON! PRESENTER OF THE YEAR. 👏 👏 👏

Congrats Andy, well deserved. we at Chelmsford Goodgym are very very proud of you.

We continued posting leaflets until we ran out and then decided it was cold enough not to hang around and just make our way home to warm up and have our dinners.

Well done all to all for coming, you all deserve your own award to leafleting in those Baltic conditions

Next week will be an indoor task at the Art Place in the Meadows

Until then,

RUN HAPPY

We almost left Ben behind, but thankfully we waited just long enough to collect him along the way and ran a slightly longer way round to our task.

Andy and Joel wasted no time in getting a drink, and we joined the others to fold leaflets.

We could see that Fay was keen to tell Andy to stop talking, but we did such an expert job of folding the leaflets that there wasn't really enough to tell him off for.

Disappointed that Sallyann didn't get a pint of wine.

Looking forward to Jen and Jess putting a summer social together, potentially in Baddow!

Next week, Rich is leading you to deliver our leaflets.

See you all soon,

Laurie

Winter has come!brrrrrrrrr.🥶

After deciding that it was far too cold to run we decided that tonights task of leafleting would be a fully walking group session.

We met in the Old factory car park where Fay met a few people dropping off some donations for the xmas food drop.

Tonights task was to deliver leaflets for a plethora of local charities leaflets that some are in the broomfield area, so we decided to canvas the Avenues, starting at first and seeing how far we got.

With Ben and Jess on one side if the avenue and Fay and Andy on the other we flew along chatting away about many a topic but also next weeks social at the all you can eat, SAN restaurant. Which we decided that those who turned up this evening shouldn't have to pay for.... did i mention it was very cold? 😉

We managed to get as far as fifth avenue before we ran out of leaflets before quickly returning to base to warm up.

Thanks for coming guys, and next week will be a walk and talk with the ideas hub. Hope to see you there.

until then, RUN HAPPY

Rich

10 GoodGymers made quick work of preparing a bumper crop of leaflets ready for our leaflet drop next week. The leaflets were sorted and folded in no time, which meant we could have a chinwag as we finished our drinks before the run back to HQ!

We will be leafletting along the avenues next week, you can sign up here:
