Our meeting spot today was on Autumn Drive - definitely appropriate for the mild autumnal weather. Having made a start on delivering leaflets to spread the word about Big Local Gateshead's newly launched community Centre, The Pitt Stop, on Monday, Richard and I returned to continue the job today. We noticed lots of autumn wreaths on doors and pumpkin displays on doorsteps, leading to a discussion about the over-commercialisation of life! What's the autumn equivalent of "Bah humbug"?

We had a very satisfying afternoon and we made a big dent in the pile of leaflets. We're confident that the job will be finished on Monday night - come along and join us!
