Tonight we ran between just between 6 and 7kmto promote the Clocktower Community Market in South Norwood by delivering over 200 leaflets!

After a sunny day the evening proved a little chilly although the run to Woodside Green where we met Jasmine certainly warmed us up. Tonight’s task was to help promote a local community market held monthly in South Norwood by leafleting the streets in the local area.

We spilt into 4 groups and up and down the streets of Woodside – we’ve still got some leaflets left so the local libraries and cafes will find themselves with some leaflets over the next few days. until we’d run out of leaflets.

We met back up at the war memorial on the green and although we didn’t have much time before we needed to head back we did fit in som fun Suicide Sprints which everybody loved! We did lose 3 runners who headed home as we were close by and then another 2 as we got closer to our finish point. Luckily they all told me they were leaving so we didn’t spend the rest of the evening looking for them!

We also had a new member today Andy - so a big welcome to him and hope to see you in your red t-shirt very soon.

Don’t forget we’ve got the London-wide social on Thursday 4th of May in our very own Croydon at the Bedford Arms close to Solutions. This will be going on the website very soon so you can sign up but in the mean time “save the date”.

Next week we will be heading back to the lovely Grangewood Park in Thornton Heath to work with the Friends Group. Here is the link to sign up.
