Gail and Gill spent a busy morning at the volunteers fair in the adult learning centre. With our table decorated not only with the new GoodGym table cover, Gill had also made plenty of branded cup cakes to entice the attendees to visit our stall. " Yes, we do good and get fit, " we explained to the attendees, "but we do also, occasionally, eat cake." We were warmly received by the organisers and hope that a few of the people we spoke to might come along and join us for a task in the near future.

Gail and David went to the Luton International Carnival's Health and Wellbeing zone on the hottest and sunniest day of the year so far.

Gail was excellently organising all the visiting organisations and David was at the Goodgym stall, shared with Parkrun introducing the public to Goodgym and Parkrun and making plans with all the other organisations.

This week's group run too us up to Dallow Downs and the Ferndale allotment. Thanks to previous efforts this allotment that had fallen out of use is now fully occupied with keen growers.

the final part of bringing the allotment back into good use was clearing up collected bits of rubbish in the overgrown parking area.

We got rummaging in the foliage to find the bits of old wood, metal buckets and general litter left lying around and now grown over by thick plants, building an impressive pile ready for quick removal. With all the rubbish pulled out the area is safe for a strimming and reclaiming the area for better use.

We made quick work of it so we took the scenic route down the beautifully sunny downs and picked litter on the way. Filling a couple of bags with our findings before we got back onto the streets.

This week the team ran out to the 61 Football Club and helped with tidying up outside the clubhouse in preparation for the upcomng 65th anniversary of the club's founding.

On the way we were treated to a fantastic rainbow 🌈 so stopped for a quick rainbow selfie before carrying on with our run.

On arrival at the club we found Cliff and Richard waiting with tools ready to clear the weeds and sweep up around the outside of the building. With seven of us we managed to do a thorough job and head back into town with the last of the evening sunshine ☀️
