Tonight we said goodbye to our friend Christian who's moving back to Nigeria. Where will we be without our very own GoodGym Leeds superman, the fittest of us all, the hardest working, photo dodging, fruit eating machine?! Christian, I speak for all of us when I say we're going to miss you so much! We look forward to hearing about your new journey wearing your Yorkshire flat cap!!!

We ran to Left Bank tonight to wash many wedding chairs. The production line worked with everyone washing, Adam steaming, Katie & I drying & Helen organising it all! Then we got to finish off with a pint & present giving ceremony for Christian. He got his flat cap, Yorkshire mix sweets & tea bags as well as a card with pictures of all his best bits!

It was great to welcome so many newcomers too. Joao, Sourav, Jacob, Amara & Sarah thanks for coming & we hope to see you again soon.

What a great night!

On a beautiful sunny, spring day, with everyone in great spirits, we all ran to Beckhill Community Garden (without getting lost) & met Lynn for the first time this year.

It was woodchip Wednesday, so half the group got to work moving piles of woodchip...Christian found a method that worked by tossing it over his shoulder! The other half weeded around the beds.

The garden is about to show at a flower show in Harrogate....this little garden has completely transformed under Lynn's leadership...Well done!!

It was boys vs girls tonight as we split into two groups to leaflet to OWLS service users around Headingley & Burley.

The girls did just under 7K & were happy to bump into the boys group just as they were finishing. We dragged them around to finish with us (I bet they wish they hadn't seen us)!!! Thanks to Christian & Adam who took the last ones to finish off on their way home.

It was so nice to do a task in the light tonight....Hello Spring!!

It was also good to welcome back Fay & Katie.

Great work team!

For the first time this year, we met as the sun was shining!! Hooray! The group headed straight to the OWLS allotments to make the most of the light & we got to work weeding & turning compost. It soon got dark, but lighter sessions are on the horizon & they can't come soon enough! We then had a run through the woods back to Heart.

Welcome to John on his first session & welcome back to Amy & Eb. We hope to see you all again soon.

Tonight we learned all about Jubz's thug life...he claims he was breaking up a fight last night but who knows?!

We headed to one of our favourite places, Meanwood Farm, where after our usual hello to the animals, we were happy to learn that the cows have a home for life at the farm. Thank goodness, the alternative doesn't bear thinking about!

Our usual compost turners were as keen as always, thanks for volunteering Rachael, Katie & Helen. Another team headed to the polytunnel to get the area ready for planting, with Christian & Jason getting started with the broadforks & Ross, Lydia, Katie and Analise weeding. Lastly, Jubz, Adam & I filled wheelbarrows of compost for the tunnel.

Another great evening, thanks all.
