In the words of Rachel, 'what a wholesome evening!'

After a very hot run, it was so nice to be back up at the OWLS allotments on a lovely warm evening. We weeded several beds & paths & as there was 13 of us, we made a huge difference by the time we left. I'm always amazed by how much we can get done in an hour! This will allow the OWLS service users to focus on the fun stuff, planting and seeing to all the vegetables they're planting this summer.

Welcome to Ankita on her first Wednesday session & welcome back to Kawan.

It was lovely to see Jason back in the toon, on a sabbatical away from Leeds - fingers crossed your St James' Park experience is a good one.

Alongside Damu and Chris and Charlotte from Newcastle Parks, we had a mission with some weedy cobbles.

We filled trug after trug (another word for those plastic buckets) but as ever with these kind of tasks, there is still plenty to tackle next time!

Tonight the GoodGym Leeds gang did a second task, washing chairs at Left Bank for their upcoming wedding season. Please see the first tasks report for more info...

Tonight, 16 GoodGymers managed two tasks in one night. We met at Heart and ran to Hyde Park Source where we negotiated the tricky lock to get out the litter pickers and we did a 30 minute litter pick of Rose bank where the team filled 16 bags full of rubbish but Helen won the prize by finding a dead rat!!! Poor old Roland :( We then headed to Left Bank where we washed all their wedding chairs ready for the new season. At one point, we thought that we were done but then found a stack more but the group were troopers and got the cloths back out to finish the job. All of this was finished off with a drink at the end.

Welcome back to Nessa & Alex tonight & thanks to Adam, Elspeth, Lydia & Jitheesh for waiting for the walkers at the end.

Well done team, we had a later night than usual, so thank you to all of you.

What a great night with the GoodGym Leeds gang! Last night, we met at Heart and ran up to Beckett Park, where we finally got to play a game of rounders. it was great fun and we definitely got better the more we played! Even though there were less people on Helen's team, they still won with 8 rounders over our 6.5...Well done guys! Everyone loved the game, so this is something we're going to do more of now the nights are lighter.
We finished off by running up to the Wetherspoons for a drink & some chips. Thanks for a great night all & welcome to an honorary member for the night, Jack.
