This weeks group run/walk/cycle took us to Trinity Church. William had got in touch and said the pews needed polish and the floors needed a once over. So once everyone had met at the bandstand in Wardown Park and the relevant briefings and stretching had been done, the walkers set off leaving the runners to do a more comprehensive warm up. Once at the Church, the team got stuck in with, dusting, polishing, washing and vacuuming and the place was looking sparkling ✨️ in no time. Several changes of water were needed as the floors were a lot dirtier than they appeared. Everyone got stuck in and William was very grateful for our efforts. Awesome job team 👏 🙌 👍🏻 👌

3 Goodgymers came out to help Nine Red CiC... load some tables and chairs and a new marquee/gazebo into the back of a truck. This was all for a Community event they are taking part in this weekend. There were quite a few heavy boxes which gave us all a good upper body work out. Great effort everyone, well done 👏

This weeks group run/walk/cycle to the Luton team to 61FC, to do a bit more painting to help them prepare for the new season which is just around the corner. After meeting in the town centre and having a brief introduction session as we had Pashew with us for the first time, the 11 strong team headed off to the task. On arrival Richard from 61FC was waiting with Rollers and brushes and several pots of paint 🎨. So we split into 2 groups and painted the outside of the clubhouse and some more of the posts around the pitch. It was good fun and definitely gave us all a good arm workout. The task was also Omar 's 100th task. So we look forward to seeing him in his 🪽 t-shirt very soon. After some quick refreshments and agreeing to come back and finish the posts in a few weeks time, we headed back to town centre. This week we also have another milestone in the group, so we decided to tag a mini social on the back of the task to celebrate 🍾 our very own David who's birthday it is (age reveal in the pics). This is the perfect opportunity to shout out the man who brought Goodgym to Luton and has truly helped us go from strength to strength 💪 A real leader. Congratulations to Omar, Pashew and David and awesome job to all that attended. Well done team 👏 👍🏻 🙌 👌

Foodcycle was really well supported by Goodgym today and it was lovely to have three of our newest members swelling the ranks if the hosting team alongside some of our regulars. Gill was doing a double shift on food collection - having collected earlier in the week, she dropped of one car load of food, which was an upper body work out in itself, before reloading the car with last week's empty crates and returning them to Sainsbury's before collecting some more produce. As the cooking team were very depleted she then stayed on for an hour and a half of the cooking shift as well. Martin got stuck in with the kitchen team too and soon a delicious meal was in the process of creation. Omar was a late sign up but arrived early and was soon able to show our newbies, Susannah , Fayemi and Bauyrzhan , how to setbup the hall for our guest. as always a delicious meal was served and the hosts did a great job of making everyone feel welcome. Thanks team - Foodcycle really appreciate all you do.
