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.

4 Goodgymers helped the Friends of Peoples Park with their monthly litterpick. 17 people from the local community turned up collected roughly 20 bags of rubbish. Well done Luton Goodgym. Excellent effort by all

This afternoon, 2 GoodGymmers made their way to help out at a litterpick organised by Friends of Wandon Park. Along with the other volunteers, we cleared a total of 16 bags of rubbish from the park and surrounding wooded areas. This will make a huge difference to the animals and people who visit the park and keeping the area tidy should encourage people to bin their litter going forward, or so we hope!! It was great to meet Anthony as well, hope to see you again soon! Great job!
