Knock, Knock, Julian House there

Monday 11th December 2023

Written by Helen Conner (she/her)

Julian House asked Goodgym Bath help in distributing flyers in Oldfield park. The flyers were divided into three batches and off Helen, Ruth and Mike went door to door posting flyers through letterboxes.

It didn't take us long to post the flyers, approximately 30 seconds per house depending upon whether we had a tricky gate, steep path or tricky letterbox. Most of the houses were lit up for Christmas which helped us to feel festive and within no time all the flyers had been posted. Hopefully this helps raise vital funds for Julian House.

Happy Christmas all!

Go Mary arms

Monday 31st July 2023

Written by Helen Conner (she/her)

We had 1 hour and around 500 flyers.

We all adopted our own techniques, in an attempt to whizz around as many houses as possible. Mary's technique was my favourite. Posting a flyer through one letterbox, and then stretching out her body and arm to reach the letterbox of the house next door to save her time in walking around. Or if this was not possible, she hurdled the boundary wall to post to the next door neighbour.

We jumped from street to street and quickly got through hundreds of flyers. Dogs, spiders and garden rubbish all attempted to deter our determination but we amazingly got through them with the help from Ruth finishing up the remaining stack.

That's a whole lot of flyers for Julian House which hopefully will encourage people to sign up to their Circuit of Bath walk to raise vital funds for their charity.

Well done all!
