Despite me leading us to the wrong location, Emmanuel took charge calmly and directed us to the right location! โบ๏ธ Thank you Emmanuelโฉ for your leadership skills.
Once at the right location, we enjoyed getting to know Sam who heads up the Parks and countryside department of the council, removing golden rod, clearing and creating a safer and more beautiful space for all residents of the area.

3 Goodgymers helped Sam from Luton Parks department with a conservation task on Monday. It was hard work but after lots of cutting back and trimming and a little bit of litterpicking and splashing about in the river. We all had a great time

Two of Luton Goodgym's Faithful helped out at the regular monthly litterpick at People's park. It was a fun event and we look forward to attending next month.

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 ๐ง ๐ง ๐ง 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 ๐ 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 ๐๐ป ๐ฑ .
All in all it was a good task and we look forward to returning next month.
Great job, well done ๐

Our group run this week had a unexpected twist as our ๐โโ๏ธ ๐โโ๏ธ and cyclists ๐ดโโ๏ธ ๐ดโโ๏ธ headed out to the task at Ferndale Allotment.
After meeting at our usual rendezvous point, and briefing the team on the evening task, we headed off, runners, cyclists and walkers. As the walkers got near to the task site, there was quite a commotion. The runners and cyclists had stopped as they had witnessed a car accident (thankfully no-one was hurt) and had called the police to attend. After checking the team were all ok, the walkers headed to the allotment to start the litterpick task while the others stayed to give statements to the police ๐ ๐.
Once all back together at the allotment, the team had a successful tidy up on the plots we were asked to tidy and the communal areas and then we all headed back to town.
Interesting evening and the first time statements have provided by Goodgymers to the police on a Luton Group run.
Great effort everyone.

We had a team of eight join up with the other friends of People's Park to carry out a thorough cleanup of the park.
Weeks of nice weather had attracted lots of daytime park users who left all the usual litter scattered around the fields bushes and trees of this large site. There was also a fair bit of evidence of a night time economy, as well as the fly tipping of a few random items, this time a push chair, a freezer drawer, a walking stick and a children's ride on car thing were the main features of an impressive haul of 16 bags of rubbish!
