10 of Luton Goodgyms elite, helped the Friends of Leagrave Park with their last litterpick of 2024. We were joined by members of the local community and 2 special guests as Father Christmas and Spiderman joined the volunteers. As ever the haul was hefty, 27 bags of waste collected with the usual intriguing odds and sods. A car tyre, a shopping trolley (of course), and a cool Thunderbirds action figure. Duncan deserves a massive shout out for pulling on the waders and getting into the river Lea to grab rubbish we feel like we've been looking at for months. Great effort team 👌 You are all amazing 👏

it was the final session from this season's cooking and community sessions at the Gurudwara and once again Goodgymers were on hand to enable the success if the evening - welcoming, hosting, cooking and washing up alongside the women in the temple to provide and enjoy a delicious meal. The meal started with crispy cauliflower pakora which we all enjoyed, before getting stuck into the various tasks. There was chick pea curry to prepare, a vegetable pilau, and of course a larhe mountain of rotis which we are getting quite good at now. There were many guests from across the community including the High Sheriff of Bedfodshire. Well done team, it was a lovely evening for all. We shall miss our Monday nights...

Tonight the Shri Guru Ravidass Sangat temple in Luton held their 3rd curry cooking class as part of the near neighbours funded project they are currently running. 9 of Luton Goodgyms finest were there to support with hosting the event. Preparing, cooking and eating food as well as washing up and tidying away. Everyone got stuck in from buttering roti to laying out plates, there was a job for everyone. Well done team 👏, keep doing Luton proud 👏

12 of Goodgym Luton's team turned out to support the Shri Guru Ravidass Sangat temple with the 2nd curry cooking sessions of their current Near Neighbours funded project. Helping with prep, cooking and cleaning up the team really helped to make the evening run smoothly. We welcomed Mugahid to his first session and after some brief introductions, he got stuck in and showed he'll be a great member if our Team. Well done all. thanks for a great evening

17th August marked 3 years since the first GoodGym Luton group run and task, so it was a good time to have a social to celebrate. Although there were fewer of us than last year (so many people have holidays at this time of year), what we lacked for in numbers we made up for in enthusiasm. Gill put on a fabulous spread in her back garden, including a celebratory GoodGym Pavlova. Associate Goodgymer Anabel also enjoyed the GoodGym Key Lime Pie! After food had been digested with lots of chatter and snoozing there was then an opportunity to get involved in some activity - perfect way to burn off those calories. Perhaps we need to set up a regular GoodGym badminton team... or perhaps not. 😂😂😂
