Tonight's task was an annual favourite: distributing flyers to advertise the wonderful Noel Park Festival.

First to arrive at GGHHQ was run leader Sarah, after having run from home in the heat to get there on time. When no one else had arrived by 6:45, Sarah made her way alone to meet task owner Rich, who was clutching a handful of flyers and wearing a suspiciously clean-looking red t-shirt. Welcome back to the fold, Rich!

Sarah had shared a 📍, and she was surprised by the arrival of Clare who hadn't signed up but just happened to be passing by, and decided helping the community was far preferable to a five minute fitness test run. Dave was next up, and just when we thought everyone else was super late Asan appeared.

We split into two teams of two, one each side of the road, with Rich going to flyer a smaller side street. Soon it turned into a little competition between Sarah and Asan on one side, and Dave and Clare on the other. Dave and Clare managed a narrow victory.

On the next street over, Mark appeared. Rich rejoined the group and now it was three on three. Sarah attempted to get a cat to join, but cats are not team players.

Meanwhile Latoya was somewhere in Noel Park trying in vain to catch up with our merry band. Alas, we were too quick for her!

Soon enough we had completed all of the target streets and it was time to melt away into the evening (quite literally perhaps, it's still very hot out there).

The task was brief - laying more woodchip on the paths and use areas, and followed quickly by making willow rings around the fire-pit. Amy, Dave and Asan quickly demonstrated their creativity. Meanwhile marshmallows were being roasted on the fire, champagne and zero alcohol sparkling wine bottles were opened and cake brought by Sarah and Mark was devoured. With world cup football beckoning several goodgymers made their way to Wood Green Spoons where Latoya and Julie were saving a table. A great evening and Mark confirmed, to the relief of all, that he was now done with his extended birthday celebration. Thanks to all for a wonderful time together!
