Tonight, Helen took us on a muddy run to Bedford Fields where we met Beth who fed us mince pies & mulled wine which went down very well! Thanks Beth :)

We then got to work decorating the roundhouse with Holly,Ivy & other foliage. We got into pairs & had a competition to see who's was best but Beth was very diplomatic and said all were good which didn't satisfy my competitive spirit!

It was a lovely evening doing Christmas crafts & a great session to finish off the year.

Thanks for a great year all & Merry Christmas!

Last Sunday, 6 of us headed to Leeds Playhouse to watch A Christmas Carol. It was a great show & made us feel very Christmasy!

Last Sunday, 6 GoodGymers ran along the canal as part of the annual Christmas Cracker race. Well done all, there were some sore legs the next day!

On the weekend (oooops), four GoodGymers made their way to Hollywood Bowl for a social bowling. Although it was an unlimited night with a 3 hour slot, I didn't think we'd stay long enough to see it all through but suprisingly we got very close before we all decided to be sensible and go home but time flies when you're having fun!

We all had our moments of glory and not so much glory. Eva came to just have fun and didn't care about her score... until she started demolishing us and getting a strike. Alice bucked her trend of getting 7-8-9s, by finally getting her first strike which was witnessed by the entire venue (or we were all nattering away and she had to celebrate this glory by herself).

Whilst in the other games, Eva and Alice took their turns to be the best, Adam had the highest scores in the game. So when it was the final round of the final game, he was on 101 points and I trailed behind on 83-something, it was impossible for me to catch up. Unless... I happened to get a strike and then had to follow it up with at least a 9 to pip him to it. Which is exactly what happened - strike and a 9 with a final miss to give me the win with a 102 points 🤭

What a fun night, lets do it again!

Tonight was our Christmas party where we got to celebrate all we'd achieved this year & to have some fun! We met at a church hall to have pizza, sweet treats and play games including charades, silly games with cups & the cereal box game (I guess you had to be there)! We finished off with a quiz & celebrated GoodGym Leeds' numbers this year. We did a whopping 709 good deeds, helping 26 different, local organisations, had 12 socials including our first camping trip & we did 2 races (with 2 more to come in December). What a great time we've had doing it all! From members who have been here throughout, to new members who have become part of the team, thanks so much for making GoodGym Leeds so great!

Shall we do it all again in 2026?!

Thanks to Chloe & Rachael for running games tonight.

Happy Christmas everyone!

Tonight we had a moonlit run through Beckett Park up to the OWLS allotments to help them to tidy up for the winter.

It was very dark up at the allotments but we managed to get loads done by torch & moonlight! Jason, Christian & Freddie took wheelbarrows down to go and get woodchip whilst the rest of us weeded, layed membrane & then put the woodchip down.

Welcome to Freddie & Matthew tonight & welcome back to Katie who's back from her adventures.

Thanks for a great night all!
