Pass-ty more leaflets please!
4 GoodGymers made their way to help their local community in Newcastle.

I was delighted earlier today to see the weather forecast showing that the wind would drop in time for our task tonight - it wouldn't have been great if the leaflets had blown away! I was less delighted when it started to rain! I came prepared with plastic bags to avoid soggy leaflets but fortunately we were blessed with a dry, if slightly chilly and breezy evening for our task helping out the lovely people at the Guide Dogs charity.
When I arrived, two members of the group were taking advantage of our meeting point outside Greggs and were savouring that great Geordie export, the Greggs pasty - perfect sustenance for a cold dark Newcastle night!
Tummies filled, we set to work. Although I was the task force rep tonight and so perhaps could be considered the group's guide, it was very helpful to have the street layout knowledge of former local resident Elliot to guide the guide for guide dogs! With Elliot's expertise, we delivered the whole batch of leaflets, covering the streets suggested by the task owner, in under an hour - almost as satisfying as a Greggs pasty and a great end to GoodGym Newcastle's bumper January!
