Such a contrast in the weather between @plymouthsouprun stops! On Friday night, it was SO wet at the first stop that everyone was drenched, and then the rain stopped.

It was the turn of the Plymouth Mayflower Rotary Club team to go out on @plymouthsouprun last night. A mild, dry evening with no problems other than the closure of the Hoe which meant the team could only serve at three stops. They still served 61 meals to people who were all grateful that the run was happening despite the circumstances. Clothes and toiletries were also given out. Thanks to all.
