7 Luton Goodgymers joined the Friends of Leagrave Park for their monthly litterpick. The sun was out on a fresh halloween morning and everyone got stuck in to the task with no scary incidents. The team collected 17 bags of rubbish and rather than bobbing for apples we pulled a buggy, and a suitcase out of the river (not face first though). All in all, it was a very productive morning. Well done everyone 👻👹💪

4 of Luton’s Goodgymers were happy to brave the dark chilly night to run to Penrose to do some late Autumn gardening. The flowerbed, which had been awash with colour during the summer, was in need of some attention. So armed with shears and head torches we got stuck in to cutting down the dead stalks and flowers. It looked like an enormous task but, keeping focussed and moving to keep warm, it didn’t take us long to get the whole area back to ground level. And of course we couldn’t leave the garden without raking up all the cuttings into several large piles. With the tools stashed back in the polytunnel, we ran back to the town centre for a cool down stretch before heading for home, satisfied that we’d done a great job.

This week we were asked by Maz Brown of Brown books, Luton's community book shop, to take to the streets and deliver flyers advertising the upcoming Author Fest and half term events at the second-hand book shop.

It was only a short run to collect the leaflets from the pub, but we didn't hang about there, we kept going and delivered hundreds of flyers all over high town, with a short break in Peoples Park for a quick game of 'grab the cones'.

it was back to the pub with the few leftover flyers for a quick drink to refresh and round off the night.
