The Reduce and Recycle Hub team (Action West London) got really serious about reducing when it comes to their leaflets. Minimum size, maximum content. The A6 flyers that we were distributing today were loaded with information about the upcoming and regular events in Acton:

  • Reduce and Recycle Hub on Saturday the 3rd of February where the residents can learn to fix clothes, bring their bikes for repair, recycle clothing and shoes, appliances and laptops and swap books
  • Acton Market - a weekday street market supporting small local businesses
  • Market W3 - a similar street market but every Saturday

The GoodGym leafletting squad was formed by the usual suspects. If only one of them was not in recovery mode, all would have been running today! Sevan led tonight's run, Steph Ducat was up for getting some mileage in as usual, Christos made his comeback in 2024, hoping he wouldn't be freezing his fingers like the last time, and Chris, who doesn't shy away from a humble Acton leafletting session, didn't disappoint after he let us know last week he'd be joining the gang.

The runners met Kash in Acton, who brought five fat envelopes of kash (see the photos!) after making a suspicious deal last week with Action West London. We didn't want to be caught with so many notes on us! The contents of the envelopes had to be dropped somewhere! The team decided to use the letterboxes of houses on the streets between Uxbridge Road and Gunnersbury Lane for that purpose. The suspects finished lighter by 433 leaflets, but they have been seen by a few cats and heard by several dogs. We are hoping that having a few tasks for the Ealing Animals Fair coming up soon, we are in their good books and cats and dogs will keep quiet about our activity in Acton.

The runners covered 5km in total, the lone walker 6km, and everyone put in an extra 2.6 km during the task.

Join us next week for another run to Acton followed by the usual chaii afterwards here!
