9 GoodGym Leeds members completed several tasks at Left Bank tonight. The biggest challenge was to transform 3 beer barrels and some planks of wood into an attractive and functional bench. Much scratching of heads and wielding of power tools and saws eventually resulted in a sort of bench...well we liked it! Other tasks tonight included general weeding, litter picking and filling raised beds with compost. Left Bank staff very generously rewarded us with a round of drinks and we enjoyed seeing the various clubs doing their things inside. A warm welcome to Alina doing her first GoodGym Leeds task.

Tonight 8 GoodGymers ran to Ash Road Residents Association in Headingley to help them garden a plot of land near Batcliffe woods. Half the group weeded & planted bulbs & the other half litter picked the local area. We were going to paint outdoor stones but it was a bit wet & Jane forgot to bring the them indoors so that they could stay dry, so we'll roll that into another session.

It was great to see such a big group on a Wednesday & to welcome Adam back.

Thanks to Jane from the residents association for being so organised with tools/pickers etc.

Good work team!

This morning 9 GoodGymers braved the bad weather to do Parkrun and a litterpick.

After joining the 795th Woodhouse Moor parkrun, we went for coffee and pastry at Coffee on the Crescent and then hit the streets for a 45 minute litter pick. The streets of Headingley were pretty bad litter wise so we got 8 full bags!

Welcome to Kirsty who attended her first session, it was great to meet you.

Well done to everyone else :)
