Let's hope so anyway! Today, five of us gathered in Charlton to distribute the rest of the leaflets to publicise the opportunity to buy the White Swan pub. Ivar, still sporting his sore hand from Wendesday night's leafleting session, came back for more - such is his appetite for doing good...and winning top spot in his workplace volunteer league table 😎

We soon got through the last few hundred leaflets we had. Fingers crossed enough can be raised to secure the purchase of the pub!

Thanks to you all and wishing you a very Happy Christmas! See you for more good deeds in 2026.

'Twas a cold winter night for the last group run of the year, but that didn't stop 2 keen GoodGymmers from braving the cold to do a spot of leafletting.

After collecting said leaflets from our trusty but flu-stricken run leader, I met up with Ivar at the start point. Ivar had decided to trust Google maps time estimates and had run part of the way for fear of being late - only to arrive 15 minutes early!

To avoid any further hypothermia from setting in, we skipped the usual warm-up routine and immediately set off towards our target streets. With no elf hats, but armed with our festive red GG tops and best season spirit, we worked up and down each street to meticulously drop the leaflets through every single chimney... well, letterbox. Even Father Christmas wouldn't be so efficient!

With all leaflets safely delivered, we parted with wishes for happy holidays (and snow for skiing). There's still one weekend left for last minute good-deeding at various parkruns before the Xmas break.

Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
