Tonight the GoodGym Leeds gang did a second task, washing chairs at Left Bank for their upcoming wedding season. Please see the first tasks report for more info...

Tonight, 16 GoodGymers managed two tasks in one night. We met at Heart and ran to Hyde Park Source where we negotiated the tricky lock to get out the litter pickers and we did a 30 minute litter pick of Rose bank where the team filled 16 bags full of rubbish but Helen won the prize by finding a dead rat!!! Poor old Roland :( We then headed to Left Bank where we washed all their wedding chairs ready for the new season. At one point, we thought that we were done but then found a stack more but the group were troopers and got the cloths back out to finish the job. All of this was finished off with a drink at the end.

Welcome back to Nessa & Alex tonight & thanks to Adam, Elspeth, Lydia & Jitheesh for waiting for the walkers at the end.

Well done team, we had a later night than usual, so thank you to all of you.

Tonight, 11 GoodGymers celebrated the return of the lighter evenings! It's felt like a long winter, so spirits were high tonight.

We headed up to Stainbeck United Reformed Church to clear an area of brambles by the car park. We pruned, trimmed, brushed, litter picked & filled 3 huge sacks of debris. We could notice a huge difference when we left, well done team! Lydia got stuck into the brambles, picking all sorts of weird & wonderful things out including a car wheel, a radio & several items of clothing.

Helen took us on a magical mystery tour on the run back to Heart, encountering a bomb shelter & two horses who didn't bat an eyelid as we ran through their field. We must have made friends since last time!

Welcome to David who joined us this evening and Lyn who organised the session.

Great work team!

This evening, 12 GoodGymers came together to do a quick clean at Heart before using the space for our second group sound bath.

I'd like to thank everyone for helping me out with my training to become a sound bath practitioner. For two group case studies, I've had a very willing group of GoodGym members as participants:)

The space isn't ideal as there was some distractions so I would need a quieter space next time.

Lovely to see Tav visiting from GoodGym Colchester & it was also good to see some weekenders join us on a Wednesday too.

We finished off with a search for a phone and a drink in the bar where we talked about Jubz's new car...I even got a guided tour!

Five GoodGymers made their way to Surplus2Purpose. It was a unusual busy Saturday for volunteers with around ten volunteers in total which sounds like a dream but sadly that day, the stock was running a little low so wasn't a great deal to do.

The team spent most of their on QC, around carrots and oranges as well as odd little tasks here and there. The team rewarded themselves by stocking their baskets with croissants, crisps, drinks and lots of fruit and veg!

This morning, 2 GoodGymers swapped tales of sailing and paddle boarding whilst filling wheel barrows full of wood chip and taking it down to Coffee on the Crescent. We raked it out underneath the benches ready for spring/summer. It was really nice to chat to and get to know Lloyd more :) see you paddle boarding soon!
