Three GoodGymers visited Dunston for the final Monday to deliver some more leaflets for Dunston Fair.
For the first time in quite some time we got a little bit wet on a Monday night, but fortunately the worst of the rain stayed away until we were finished. We delivered leaflets to most of the streets in the immediate vicinity of Dunston Park that hadn't received them before, venturing right up to the entrance to the park at one point. Three of us managed to deliver 500-550 more leaflets, which given the layout of the streets we were quite impressed with.
There are two further, and final, Dunston Fair leaflet delivering sessions this Saturday. Please check the session listings and come along if you can!

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!

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!

On a pleasant Saturday afternoon in Cowgate, we visited Greenhill Allotments, a place we have been many times in the past. The task today was to clear the overgrown area around the border, near the fence.
We transported several wheelbarrows full of weeds and waste to the skip. The skip was looking rather full, so we also filled several large bags. The area was looking much better when we had finished.
Louise managed to find a dislocated knee joint in the undergrowth, thankfully too small to be human. Meanwhile Scott retrieved quite a large amount of broken glass. You never know what you will find in the long grass!

A warm, sunny Monday evening, that turned a bit cold towards the end, saw GoodGym Newcastle assisting Heaton Pride with their post-event clean up around the local area.
Six GoodGymers set out from Stepney Bank Stables towards Heaton, picking some litter as we went. As usual, South View West was heavily littered. No matter how many times we pick litter up in that street, it always returns. A couple of passers-by were keen to offer thanks, which is always nice to hear.
We got to Heaton Road and The Last Resort pub a while after Heaton Pride's own band of litter pickers. Between the two groups, virtually all of the litter was bagged and binned.
Well done to Nour for reaching the mini milestone of 10 good deeds tonight!
