It was boys vs girls tonight as we split into two groups to leaflet to OWLS service users around Headingley & Burley.

The girls did just under 7K & were happy to bump into the boys group just as they were finishing. We dragged them around to finish with us (I bet they wish they hadn't seen us)!!! Thanks to Christian & Adam who took the last ones to finish off on their way home.

It was so nice to do a task in the light tonight....Hello Spring!!

It was also good to welcome back Fay & Katie.

Great work team!

Tonight, the gang met Nilesh from Headingley Neighbourhood Watch to do some more graffiti clearing on North Lane.

We used paint remover on some of it, scraped flyers off bins & painted the telephone boxes & bins.

Lydia, Rachael & I painted a bin that had graffiti all over it but we were slightly worried as the green paint was slightly brighter than the old paint & it then didn't match the other bins in the area...oh well, we think it looked good, even if no one else does!!!

Kat did her 100th good deed tonight! What a great achievement, thanks for all you do for GoodGym Kat & well done.

Saturday was super Helen's 250th good deed for GoodGym Leeds!!!

Our group just wouldn't be the same without her. She's not only a super runner, she supports the whole team, plans amazing runs, leads sessions & deputises for me. Thanks for all you do :)

We headed to Bedford Fields to help set up for their mini spring fair. We then took part in Fruitworks tree grafting workshop & we all left with 2 grafted apple trees. I took one Katy & one Bramley variety. We were taught 2 techniques in the beautiful spring sunshine. It was a great afternoon, thanks Beth!

For the first time this year, we met as the sun was shining!! Hooray! The group headed straight to the OWLS allotments to make the most of the light & we got to work weeding & turning compost. It soon got dark, but lighter sessions are on the horizon & they can't come soon enough! We then had a run through the woods back to Heart.

Welcome to John on his first session & welcome back to Amy & Eb. We hope to see you all again soon.

Tonight we learned all about Jubz's thug life...he claims he was breaking up a fight last night but who knows?!

We headed to one of our favourite places, Meanwood Farm, where after our usual hello to the animals, we were happy to learn that the cows have a home for life at the farm. Thank goodness, the alternative doesn't bear thinking about!

Our usual compost turners were as keen as always, thanks for volunteering Rachael, Katie & Helen. Another team headed to the polytunnel to get the area ready for planting, with Christian & Jason getting started with the broadforks & Ross, Lydia, Katie and Analise weeding. Lastly, Jubz, Adam & I filled wheelbarrows of compost for the tunnel.

Another great evening, thanks all.

Following our failed star gazing trip last weekend where there was nothing but cloudy skies, tonight, of course there was a clear sky & fabulous view of the stars! Orions Belt was in clear view...typical :)

We headed to Bedford Fields for path laying & wood chipping. It was great to start with a bit of light...spring is on its way, thank goodness.

Well done to Jason on his 75th good deed, Adam completed his 45th & Lydia her 35th! You're all amazing.

It was great to meet Hope tonight, welcome to GoodGym.

Thanks to everyone for coming out & doing so much in so little time.
