Our 4th opportunity to complete the Tub2Pub challenge was off to a good start this morning. Gill met up with Teklay and Atsiba and promised them a scenic route to the Jolly Topers. The sun was shining and they agreed that a walk through the woods would make a nice change. What we hadn't anticipated was the amount if mud we'd encounter. But we got through it unscathed and were soon on our way to meet up with Abdulrahman and Mogammed and delivered our tubs atvthe bar. Meanwhile Laura was off to the Bakers Arms in Stewardstone to deliver her tub, while Ella followed in our footsteps later in the afternoon with a trip to the Jolly Topers.

This week we welcomed Karwan and Lee to their first GoodGym session before we ran across town to the Luton Airport Parkway train station. It was a rainy night but the running kept us warm on our outward journey to the station. In the woods opposite the car park there was a large collection of litter and dumped clothes that Gill had spotted on her runs through the area.

We arrived on-site to meet Kevin from ABCD Luton, get kitted out with hoops and pickers and ventured into the woods where a handy shopping trolley because our shuttle for heavy bags and bulky items to the collection pile.

With a large team the large mess was sorted out really quickly, we made a huge pile for collection by the council and then set off for the second half of our run, back to the Galaxy for a cool down stretch.

There was a great turn out from GoodGym at FoodCycle today. With four of us in the cooking team and three in the hosting team this evening we served 42 guests plus 8 takeaways . It was great team work and effort from everyone as always. Thank you everyone for making people around happy 😊 On today’s menu was: Starter Crushed potato with cheesy dip Main Spaghetti 🍝 bolognese

Dessert Gills heavenly Queen of pudding (set custard , fruit , meringue)

This was week 3 of the Tub2Pub challenge and we are still managing to find empty chocolate tubs. No... it's not that we're eating all these chocs, but managing to find empty tubs at work, with family and friends. Gill, Nuriya and Omar took a walk up to the Jolly Topers on Tuesday after completing a kitchen cleaning task. Ella collected a lot of tubs from her work and dropped them off at the Biscot Mill on her way home on Thursday. Laura was next , and took a trip to The Tawny Owl in Bletchley on Saturday after completing Park Run. Sunday's delivery was made by Abulrahman, Mohammed and Teklay who were joined by Omar, Gill and Nuriya in the park and walked up to Biscot Mill balancing their tubs on their heads - as an additional challenge to see who could walk the furthest before tumbling their tubs! While Lucie did a solo walk to the Jolly Toppers .

It was good to welcome a team of 8 GoodGymers to help the residents with the Lonodn Road Litter Pick. Despite the drizzly conditions, we had an interesting time making the lower half of London Road clean and tidy, and including the car park at the medical centre - which always gives us plenty to keep us busy. We filled a couple of bags each, and even found a television, a kitchen work top and a massive mirror to add to the pile of bags. The local team were so pleased to have us helping out to keep this major entrance road to Luton looking clean and welcoming. Well done team.
