RunFest Mail-athon

Wednesday 30th September

Written by David Mansfield

A pun‑stoppable GoodGym Luton crew took on Old Bedford Road tonight, splitting into a speedy running team and a steady walking team to deliver road‑closure notices for Love Luton RunFest. The runners shot off like a first‑class delivery service, racing all the way to the far end before working backwards, while the walkers address‑ed the route from the town centre upwards. House by house, door by door, we letter‑ally posted notices 8n a stamp‑ede, creating a perfect meet‑in‑the‑middle moment where the two teams collided in postal‑union. Royal Mail would be mail‑ancholy they didn’t have speedy mailers like us. A proper GoodGym delivery that proved once again: when Luton needs its notices dropped, we always go the extra mail.

We were so quick we even had time to slip off to the pub for a celebratory drink on a job well done!

Sponge-taneous Baking

Tuesday 29th September

Written by Gill (She/her)

Only one GoodGymer at FoodCycle this evening, but Gill did a great job in the kitchen taking sole responsibility for the pudding. Only finding out what ingredients there were when the food delivery arrived she had to be spontaneous in making up a recipe and putting together 5 honey sponge puddings and a delicious mango lemon sauce to accompany.

Picked Clean

Sunday 27th September

Written by David Mansfield

We had a sunny Sunday morning up at the top of the hill this month as we assisted the Friends of Dallow Downs and Winsdon Hill with the monthly litterpick. Pawel joined us too for his first Goodgym session, welcome Pawel!

The spot we were giving our time to this month was beside a footpath that had attracted a lot of casual litter and a bit of fly tipping.

The team of eight collected loads of bags and several large items including a full reclining sofa but there's plenty more to do so we'll be back at this spot again next month!

Daniel’s Birthday

Friday 25th September

Written by Fayemi Emmanuel Lawal

It was a really enjoyable and fun session at the Singing Café. We had a great time serving and helping others, while also joining in with the singing and dancing.

There was a lovely atmosphere, and everyone was able to get involved, have fun and enjoy themselves. As a Man United fan, I especially enjoyed the energy and excitement of the session! Overall, it was a great experience, and I would be happy to take part again.

Out on the Pull

Wednesday 23rd September

Written by David Mansfield

Pulling weeds that is! This week's group run was a trip out to finish weeding the young trees that we made a start on last week. unfortunately we found a couple more that hadn't survived the long hot summer but the rest all got their weeds pulled and mulch spread out to help them recover and prepare for winter.

We also welcomed Patrick to his first run session and once the trees were sorted out we had a little running game that involved running around to steal cones from the other players to be the first to collect three cones! It was a fun little warm-up to prepare for the return journey back into town.
