Five Fit Goodgymers took on the uphill run from the town centre to Stopsley on a mission to complete a second round of painting at the Green House community hub.

The old Sunday school building has been converted into a community cafe to sit alongside the community garden and be a meeting point for the community.

We painted the new toilets white and primed the fresh plaster in the main space ready to take a nice coat of white next time.

The evening was finished off with a nice downhill run back into town.

Another great session tonight at the Shri Guru Ravidass Sangat Gudwara, supporting the temple with their near neighbours project and welcoming members of the Roma trust and friends of the temple. Tonight we made Aloo Paratha. We were all keen to get stuck in and learn the new skill, making and cookingbthese delicious, stuffed flatbreads 🫓. We welcomed Sheetal to the temple this evening this was her 3rd GG task and i'm sure she enjoyed being with the team. It was also great to see Kamal after a short break from tasks recently hope he can make it along again soon. After sampling our tasty treats, Gill and I had to head off tho join this weeks group run, but the rest of the team stayed and helped with the clean down and tidy up. Great effort guys and girls.

6 members of the Luton Goodgym team were in attendance at the Shri Guru Ravidass Sangat Gudwara this evening. Mayra took the reigns at the start of the evening as Martin and Gill were finishing up at another task. The team welcomed Adrian to his first task and his chapati making skills were something to marvel at. It was grwat to catchbup with Corinne again although we did get told off when we were chatting whilst making chapatis. Musa was in charge of making sure the flat breads got a nice glaze of butter when they were cooked. Tonight the friends of the temple were there to extend their knowledge and skills of Punjabi cuisine and it was great for the team to be able to help host, cook and clean up at the event. There was a great atmosphere and some delicious butternut squash curry to savour, making the evening a great one. Well done team, great effort.

Tonight there was a trio of GoodGymers volunteering at FoodCycle, and all had signed up to the cooking team tonight. Gill was first on the scene getting the venue unlocked, the oven on and the tables prepared to receive the food surplus. As the surplus arrived she was met by Tigger who soon joined in the task of unloading the food from the car. Surplus weighed, then then started to think about what they could make with the random produce on offer. Lots of peppers and aubergines were crying out to be turned into a ratatouille, and Tigger was happy to take the lead on making a vegetable stew with peeling and chopping help from a newbie FoodCycle volunteer. And finally they were joined by Martin to complete the GoodGym trio, who was soon busy preparing mangoes for a gorgeous mango, lime and mint sauce to accompany a rather unctious bread and butter pudding. We had Harrison and Dean from Foodcycle with us, and by 6 o'clock we were ready to serve up a delicious and warming three course meal to our hungry guests. Great team work, and all your efforts were greatly appreciated, with some excellent feedback from many of the guests.
