there must be some clutter free houses in Luton and beyond as several of our GoodGymers including Harvey from Ealing had a good clear out and took their unwanted items to a nearby charity shop.

Today was the final day for the Tub2Pub challenge and our area activator was keen to know from Gill, "Whatever happened to all those heroes?" No the GoodGymers didn't eat them all but had been collecting tubs from a school, a church and work colleagues. So we had lots of empty tubs to deliver to various Green King Lubs. Laura dropped hers at the Battle of Axes pub in Aldenham and gets the prize for getting round the margest number of pubs. Ella dropped hers at the Biscot Mill after our Wednesday group run, Lucie walked up to the Jolly Topers on Friday while Gill and Omar did a double whammy, dropping off lots of Heroes tubs at the Jolly Milliner after the litter pick and then walking/ cycling to the Biscot Mill with Teklay to make a final drop off after our charity shop task. Well done to all who have done the task this year, saving plastics from going in landfill and contributing to Macmillan Cancer care , a charity close to my heart.

We had a team of 9 GoodGymers at FoodCycle tonight, which was great as they were very short of volunteers. Lucie and Gill had been preparing the meal including peeling and slicing bags and bags of shallots for the French Onion Soup, as well as making a delicious lentil and mushroom bake. The rest of our team were hosting, and Teklay was stuck in at the sink on Potwasher duties. Well done to everyone who worked well to make sure the evening went smoothly.

There was a great turn out from GoodGym at FoodCycle today. With four of us in the cooking team and three in the hosting team this evening we served 42 guests plus 8 takeaways . It was great team work and effort from everyone as always. Thank you everyone for making people around happy 😊 On today’s menu was: Starter Crushed potato with cheesy dip Main Spaghetti 🍝 bolognese

Dessert Gills heavenly Queen of pudding (set custard , fruit , meringue)

This was week 3 of the Tub2Pub challenge and we are still managing to find empty chocolate tubs. No... it's not that we're eating all these chocs, but managing to find empty tubs at work, with family and friends. Gill, Nuriya and Omar took a walk up to the Jolly Topers on Tuesday after completing a kitchen cleaning task. Ella collected a lot of tubs from her work and dropped them off at the Biscot Mill on her way home on Thursday. Laura was next , and took a trip to The Tawny Owl in Bletchley on Saturday after completing Park Run. Sunday's delivery was made by Abulrahman, Mohammed and Teklay who were joined by Omar, Gill and Nuriya in the park and walked up to Biscot Mill balancing their tubs on their heads - as an additional challenge to see who could walk the furthest before tumbling their tubs! While Lucie did a solo walk to the Jolly Toppers .
