Souper Dooper Christmas Troupers

Wednesday 18th December 2024

Written by Gill (She/her)

What a fabulous team of volunteers we had at The Hockwell Community Centre for setting up and serving at the Seniors' Christmas lunch. Our GoodGym team of 5 was supplemented by two of the All Saints guys who we met a couple of weeks ago during the Church Cleaning task - I think they probably count as associate GoodGymers.

Gil (here's a surprise) was stuck mainly in the kitchen carving turkeys and helping to plate the food, ably assisted by Omar once service was underway.

It was lovely to have Anthony, Ali and David heading up the serving team, starting off with serving up bowls of piping hot vegetable soup to the 100 or so guests, before getting in their steps as they came back and forward from the kitchen to the hall with plates laden with a traditional Christmas Dinner.

There was time for a brief interlude, which they needed, to recharge their batteries and scoff some turkey, before returning to the kitchen to serve up the mince pies. The final task was to help with clearing up and washing up. It was a long old session but Vera was very appreciative. And we all left with a goody bag of chocolates to help us celebrate at home.

A High Five

Wednesday 18th September 2024

Written by David Mansfield

This week for our group run we ran up the hill through High Town to our task on Hitchin road where community clean-up coordinator Kevin from ABCD Luton and some local residents had already got started.

A couple of road-side areas were overgrown with shrubs and weeds and needed cutting back and tidying up. On arrival our team were tooled up with shears, saws, loppers and brushes and set to cutting back and clearing up.

With our large team we managed to clean up a huge stretch of road and filled an amazing five big bags of cuttings which needed dragging up the hill to the point that the council was booked to collect from.

Before retreating back down the hill we took a few minutes to do a few rounds of walking lunges, crunches and squats in the park to round off an energetic evening.

The Welcome Party

Wednesday 11th September 2024

Written by David Mansfield

This week a rainbow shone over our warm-up and the ascent up the hill to our task for the evening.

We were heading to the gravel sign that welcomes drivers from the M1 into Luton where some patchy weeds needed clearing. We also took some time to rearrange the black and white pebblrs to restore some clarity to the letters which were suffering from some blurred lines!

When the task was completed we headed over to Stockwood Park for a blast through some sprint intervals to build some power in our legs before heading back down to our finish point back in the Hat District.

Pro-Active Networking

Saturday 7th September 2024

Written by David Mansfield

The Active People Fair in St George's Square was a gathering of many organisations whose aim is to keep people active and healthy, so a natural place for GoodGym to be.

We met many members of the public, spread the good word about GoodGym, met several partner organisations we've done tasks with already, and a few new leads for new tasks.
