We had a great time boogeying, singing, hosting, serving, cleaning up and helping everyone to feel positive on what started as a rainy morning. Thanks to all our singers and helpers! Great choc orange cake by Hyacinth!

This week's group run welcomed Austin and Jackie back for their second sessions and first group run we even had Kazeem join in for his first session. It's been a good few weeks of introducing Goodgym to new people!

We ran out to the Stockingstone meadow and Bide-a-while orchards where newly planted apple trees are getting established beside some older specimens, reviving the previously neglected orchards with Konni from the Luton Orchards project.

We secured protective wire mesh to guard the trees from damage and did some weeding and clearing mulch from the base of the tree to stop the trunks getting damp and rotting.

With the task all done and trees safe and secure, we headed off to the bandstand at Wardown Park for a randomised workout from the fitness dice which gave us a selection of jumping jacks, core toning and squat jumps to finish off our evening as darkness set in.

With very little donated food tonight, Gill was still able to lead the kitchen team in putting together a tasty menu fir the guests. Sam joined the hosting team and made sure the guests felt welcome and were served their food with a smile.

At the singing cafe today we bid one of our the church volunteers from Nigeria farewell.

5 Luton Goodgymers joined the Friends of Leagrave Park for their monthly litterpick. Fighting through the soggy weather the volunterrs collected 12 bags of rubbish in total. Fantastic to job done by one and all. Great to welcome Pelumi to his first task. Well done everyone, great job

This week's Group Run (and cycle for Dani) took us to the 61 Football Club and we had Zoe back for a second time and even better, she brought Yiannis along for his first time. It's great to have you both getting involved!

On arrival at the club it was painting time, getting some blue on the walls in the main changing room and the referees changing room also got a lick of fresh white paint.

We took ten minutes at the end for a round of shuttle runs and random exercises from the fitness dice which turned out to be a decent selection of core-toning with a few squats too, a shuttle run to shake out in between each one.

Finally the return run back into town as darkness fell, reminding us that it will soon be time for headtorches again!
