Thursday at 6:15pm is GoodGym Windsor Night! πŸ‘‘πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈπŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ

Tonight we were delivering leaflets for Age Concern to help raise awareness and to also help get them get more donations.

We all (Didem, Adam, Jen, Bekah and Mandy) met at The Binoy for a lovely social walk in the sunshine β˜€οΈ to the task … yes we did say sunshine .. β˜€οΈβ˜€οΈβ˜€οΈ

We met task owner Rachel and viewed the handy work from our previous painting task in the entrance and collected the leaflets. We guessed we had about 350 to do so we got started. Making sure to stick to the area asked and not going to houses with a no junk mail notice.

We split up into teams but both had a sunny side of the street tonight β˜€οΈ Careful not miss a door, get our hands stuck in the letter box, working out how to get in some wall mounted boxes and working our way along noting where we had been already. We did lose each other for a spell but a phone call gathered us back. Jen disappeared up what we thought was a short line of cottages and came back with hardly any leaflets left towards the end looking triumphant 🀣

Bekah and Mandy were offered a cash job to deliver 1000 leaflets from a tree surgeon on the roadside but we declined 🀣 not even sure what the going rate was anyway 🀣 worth looking into though as a future career!

Then because Mandy had, had letter box /boxing on her mind all day she insisted on some post task air boxing. Mandy got the eye of the tiger tune on and we made a very feeble attempt at it but it was funny.

A quick curtsy and bow πŸ‘‘πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈπŸƒπŸ»β€β™€οΈand we made our way home.

Thank you as always for attending πŸ‘πŸ»
