Alpacas, horses, weeding, running & cake...what more do you need on a Wednesday evening?! We spent the evening running to Beckhill Community Garden, visiting the Alpaca's on route. There was a big group tonight, so we weeded a large area, litter picked, cleared the steps and laid cardboard and wood chip. The garden was celebrating winning a certificate for outstanding volunteers, of which GoodGym Leeds have been a big part! A few of us then headed back to Heart for a drink and cake! Thanks for a great evening all :)

What a great night we had last night for the GoodGym Leeds Christmas party. We had a whooping 22 people come to celebrate Christmas & it was really wonderful to see such a lovely group of people come together.

Firstly, we met at Heart to do a quick clean of the nursery space & then everyone settled down in the nursery and I ran a sound bath for the group. I've never seen the GoodGym Leeds gang so quiet!!! Everyone relaxed to some gentle sound meditation & I really appreciated so many people coming to let me practice on them. We'll do another one in the new year :)

We then headed to the Heart bar for food, drinks & a Christmas quiz. We were also very lucky to have a group of musicians come along to entertain us all! Well done to Katie, Katie, Rachel & Kat's team who won the quiz with a fabulous 10/10 (I'll need to make it harder next year)!

It was also an opportunity to thank our wonderful task force, Helen, Jubz, Katie, Kat & Bryony (in her absence). We really appreciate everything you do for GoodGym Leeds, so thank you for everything you have done for the group this year.

Welcome to newcomer Finn & welcome back to Pik & Sudharsan who joined us for the second time. We hope to see you again soon.

Thanks all for a wonderful evening & Merry Christmas!

How many GoodGymers does it take to build an Ikea kitchen?!

Moving, rearranging, building kitchens, hanging doors, litter picking with tongs, running, star gazing, cookies, hot chocolate, hot water bottles down tops, falling over, star gazing & the cold.

Of all the random GoodGym nights, tonight was probably the most random. There were a lot of us in a very confined space at Bedford Fields as the ground was too frozen to do anything outside. We hung a door, started to build a kitchen and rearranged furniture.

Thanks to the none runners for staying behind to do more on the kitchen.

Congratulations to Helen on her 170th good deed! You're amazing.
