The rain may have subsided but it was still a chilly night out there on Westgate road, so a huge thanks to everyone who came along tonight!
It ended up being a super productive night of leaflet delivering! I estimate that we might just have delivered over 1000 leaflets, which is an amazing effort! If you, like I, prefer to count your leaflets in inches - we started with around 8 inches of leaflets and managed to deliver a whole 4.7 inch stack of leaflets, leaving only just over three inches remaining (another day perhaps?)
Doing our best group run impression we tried our hardest to stay together up the monster that is Westgate road before coming to a stop at the Baptist Church, where the FoodCycle kitchen is. We stopped for a photo in front of the church where we had our photos taken by a generous passerby who went to extreme lengths to get the shot just right!
The task owner from FoodCycle had asked us to keep track of where we had been, so we split into team and each team received their own uniquely coloured highlighter which they used to fill in where they had been on the map. It was a busy night with many people out on the streets - we ended up giving a lot of leaflets to people asking what we were up to. I gave many leaflets to a group of boys who wanted to take home an extra leaflet for their parents so they could convince them to go to FoodCycle with them!
We made our way back to the hotel winding through the streets while delivering more leaflets. Dan was there to congratulate us at our return to the Hotel but unfortunately that wasn't enough to earn him a good deed!
Huge thanks again to everyone for coming and battling the cold and the hills just to be nice people!
