Twelve brilliant runners joined me in Brent as we helped Queen Park Community Council
Having literally jumped off a plane and headed straight to Brent it was great to see so many of you along for the run this evening! After getting ourselves together we headed out for our intro. The main news it still the January Challenge - we are doing well but we need to do MORE!!!
Chi had come along tonight to join in our fun and promote the Spartan run that he and some other goodgym-ers are going to - details to come.
After the task info, health and safety and all the intros were done we headed off towards Queens Park.
We picked up Georgie along the way and met Lindsey and Emma from QPCC. We were delivering their community newsletter: Queens Park Voice. With tree streets to tackle we split into three teams, split the newsletters between us and off we went. All the teams worked hard and in 30 mins all the deliveries had been made - hurrah! Chi's team even had time for a run round the block as they waited for the rest of us!
Amazing work and invaluable help for QPCC.
With that done we headed back to base - this was up the hill we had run down - everyone put in a great effort. Once back at base we stretched and then went in to celebrate out birthday! It was a catalogue errors from me but we celebrated well and Tom had made some super delicious brownies for us too! The errors: it birthday was last week and some how i have lost the ability to count - we are actually four not five!
Great evening everyone - details for next week will be confirmed soon!
Cheers, Pritesh
QPCC is the first Community Council in London. We came into existence following the May elections in 2014 after local residents voted for the first London Community/Parish Council to be established. The Council has a unique opportunity to better serve and represent the 12,500 residents of Queen’s Park and we are doing so by focusing on community engagement. We are an apolitical council whose aims are to provide residents with a community they wish to see by improving educational opportunities; improving social and economic wellbeing and improving the appearance of the local area.
