Just the Two of Us

Saturday 27th September

Written by Gill (She/her)

It was our monthly date at Leagrave Park and two Goodgymers joined the Friends of Leagrave Park for the litter pick. What we lacked in numbers we made up for with enthusiasm and we were soon wombling in the woodlands and playing fields clearing up cans, bottles and all sorts of litter, and getting a lovely walk into the bargain. Fortunately there was less litter than we usually find so maybe people are starting to take their rubbish home with them.

Leagrave looking lovely

Saturday 30th August

Written by Susannah Foot

We teamed up with Friends of Leagrave Park for our monthly litter pick. Thank you to Pastor Charmaine, Martin, Dave and Omar, plus other members of the community, we managed to make the park that bit prettier. Amongst the haul was a particular tortoise, a โ€˜messageโ€™ in a bottle and the famous drum kit.

Letโ€™s hope that the tortoise is still breathing, wherever he may be.

A truck load of fun ๐Ÿšš

Thursday 17th July

Written by Martin R

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 ๐Ÿ‘

Nice day for a walk

Saturday 28th June

Written by Martin R

6 Luton Goodgymers joined the FoLP and ABCD-IN-LUTON for this months community litterpick.
We started by welcoming our first timer Susannah who was glad to finally come out with us after signing up a little while ago. As the temperature was beginning to climb Kevin from ABCD-IN-LUTON reminded everyone to stay hydrated and he'd generously brought some bottles of water ๐Ÿ’ง ๐Ÿ’ง ๐Ÿ’ง so everyone could take one on their way round the park. It was quite a leisurely walk around the park, past the site of the new Luton Henge project and along the river Lea. We gathered around 15 bags of rubbish ๐Ÿ—‘ and the park looked a lot tidier after we'd all finished. David occupied his regular spot dangling like Spiderman over the river, fishing out all sorts of goodies only this time he had to fish out something a little more personal to himself as his phone dropped out of his pocket into the juice. He assured me it was ok ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป ๐Ÿ“ฑ . All in all it was a good task and we look forward to returning next month. Great job, well done ๐Ÿ‘

Pure Garage

Sunday 11th May

Written by Martin R

4 of Luton Goodgyms finest came together on a rather warm Sunday morning to help Debra from 9Red CiC reorganise one of her storage sites. The garage was a real Aladdin's cave of costumes, cookware, projectors, gardening equipment, children's arts and craft materials and there was even a 3D printer. We arrived to see what looked like a shut the door and worry about it later scenario (much like if my wife asks me to put the clean towels away at home). But Luton Goodgym soon got to grips with the erratic stacking of boxes and phenomenal balancing acts that were going on in the lock up and after pulling 99% of the contents out it was all put back in neatly, everything had its own space and it was all left very accessible.
There was also a chance for Laura to spread her wings and live life as a butterfly ๐Ÿฆ‹ for a short time. Debra was extremely grateful and I'm sure we'll be working with her again soon. Great effort team, ๐Ÿ‘Œ what a really great task.
