This week we were leafletting to promote Foodcycle which has recently launched in Chelmsford. Once a week they offer a free sit down meal at Springfield Park Baptist Church using surplus food that would otherwise go to waste.

We started off with a rather brief introduction before a gentle warm up and run to our start point on Byron Road for the leafletting session, with Leanne leading and Laurie backmarking.

We continued leafletting around the Springfield Park area, finishing off the roads that we couldn’t get to last time. Byron Road, the maze of roads around the delightful Essex Police headquarters and back along Sandford Road.

Once we had finished dropping off the last of the leaflets along Sandford Road, we had a surprise visit from David who came back to the university with us.

Whilst having a post run stretch Laurie discussed our plans for a social following last week’s vote, which will be on Thursday 16th September; drinks followed by a meal, hopefully at Moto Pizza… If they can accommodate us all.

Thanks everyone for coming along and promoting this great new initiative in our city!

Next week we are back at the allotment which is need of a bit of care and attention!
