11 runners braved the cold weather to deliver flyers for Send a Cow. We flyered around the Moorland Road area of Oldfield Park. We delivered over 750 flyers between us!

Well done to Lydia for achieving a massive 50 good deeds! Awesome work!
The charity
Send a Cow is a charity that helps develop communities in Africa. They provide training in farming and tackle social issues such as gender inequality throughout the continent. They have 90 charity places for the Bath Half next year and their marketing team asked us to post flyers around Bath to advertise for them.
Come flyer with me, we’ll flyer, we’ll flyer away!
We set off from the Leisure Centre and ran across town, through Green Park station and then over to Oldfield Park. We flyered down several roads that are connected to Moorland Road. There are quite steep … but we managed it together!
We then ran further uphill to flyer along Coronation Avenue. There are lots of houses in this area of Bath so it was perfect for distributing our paper flyers!
In total, we managed to deliver a whopping 750 flyers! Great work for a Tuesday evening!
Thanks to Ollie for backmarking. The pun this week was a joint effort between Lydia and Emma! Thanks you two!
The Cow
Unfortunately it is too long for a pun, but thanks to Catrin for sharing this poem by Ogden Nash at the warm-down: The cow is of the bovine ilk; One end is moo, the other, milk.

Next week we are putting up Christmas decorations at St John’s Court
