Today we went to help our friends from the British Heart Foundation to deliver 1200 flyers promoting their new store at Clifton Moor

Rush saw us litter picking at the Rawcliffe P&R back in November and decided to join the club. Today was her first mission. *Give her a big cheer people! *

Welcomed by Daniel and his colleague from the British Heart Foundation we were handed delivery maps and piles of promotional flyers.

Do you accept CD's and DVD's - Ed

Ed took the opportunity to ask if his collection of CD's and DVD's would be welcomed by the new BHF store.

After the briefing we split up in pairs and went delivering. The weather wasn't on our side today, with rain turning to sleet. After about 45 minutes me and Lucy have finished our round and my fingers were freezing. Lucy jogged back home, which is on the other side of the town, to clock more km's towards the January Challenge and I went back to the meeting point to see if anyone brought back any undelivered flyers. Having finished their round, that was closest to the start location, Tom and Jackie were already waiting outside the Library. Soon after Max, Richard, Debs and Nicola turned up. Jenna, Rush, Ed and Amy went back home straight after delivery, with Ed and Amy visiting the wetpour removal task location (part of the Bingo thing that we are doing this month) on their way home.

Everyone made a significant contribution to the January Challenge distance and some Strava art has been created with Max calling his the 'stag with antlers'.

The planned opening of the new BHF shop on Clifton Moor may be delayed by the introduction of new restrictions, however local residents will have information handy in readiness for the opening.

All in all the mission was a success and a great occasion for a catch up before the lockdown no 3.
