No leaflet left Byker-s we delivered ’em all!
3 GoodGymers made their way to help the FoodCycle Byker in Newcastle.

Dan arrived home from Bath just in time to form a terrific trio with Michael and me for the final episode of the current season of Food Cycle leaflet deliveries. Tonight we were in Byker, spreading the word about a free meal available each week at St Silas’ Church and encouraging new volunteers to help out. We seemed to have some immediate success as I chatted to a man painting his fence who seemed keen to join in. We made short work of the task, delivering all 250 leaflets in 35 minutes (despite the unusually high number of letterboxes declining unsolicited mail!) Despite the short time together, Dan was able to provide Michael with an overview of the delights of Dubrovnik (such that Michael has already entered a run there next Spring!) and we discussed the philosophy that “people come into our lives for a reason, a season or a lifetime”. All in all, a pleasant stroll around the streets of Byker!
