Morrisons Harwood

Harwood's got bottle!

Morrison's Harwood Store Collection - 9th October 2010

As normal, I was on the late shift for Store Collections, so I arrived at ten to three for my stint, with Lion Graham Pollitt already there and collecting. Going to Morrison's Harwood is always a pleasure as it is always our highest grossing supermarket, and the customers always seem to be happier (it must be someting in the Harwood air!).

Our store collections are always from 9AM to 5PM in four stints of 2 hours each, the photo on the right shows our first team from 9AM which is Lions Tony Murphy and John Fairhurst. A 2 hour period is usually enough standing for anyone, but sometimes the  period can seem a lot longer (especially if receiving few donations), but this is never a problem at Harwood, as we are constantly busy, and the time flies.

It seemed to fly even more this time, as we had taken some of our message in a bottle stock, and Lion Graham excelled himself in giving away all 40 bottles in our stint, all of which are given for free!

I did pass on several people to Lion Graham for him to tell them about Message in a Bottle, and so I am claiming so sort of credit for the 40 bottles!

Thanks go to Morrisons and the customers in their store for an excellent day, as well as to the other Lions who collected during the day.
