Tonight, Helen took us on a muddy run to Bedford Fields where we met Beth who fed us mince pies & mulled wine which went down very well! Thanks Beth :)

We then got to work decorating the roundhouse with Holly,Ivy & other foliage. We got into pairs & had a competition to see who's was best but Beth was very diplomatic and said all were good which didn't satisfy my competitive spirit!

It was a lovely evening doing Christmas crafts & a great session to finish off the year.

Thanks for a great year all & Merry Christmas!

Beth & Alex has a soggy Saturday at Bedford Fields today.

Good work ladies!

Seeing as though two of our members were in shorts tonight, we'll do well to remember that in future!! It was a freezing night & even though Lydia had 7 layers on, she still looked absolutely freezing! I hope everyone managed to warm up.

We ran across the ridge tonight & met Beth at The Chemic Tavern and litter picked around the area. When we could no longer feel our fingers and toes, we headed back.

Well done for coming out in this weather guys. Stay warm :)

On Saturday, 3 GoodGymers headed to Bedford Fields for their volunteer day. Good work team!

....And I know that I should let go but I can't... ' Foundations by Kate Nash :)

Today we started to dig up some concrete slabs to lay the foundations of the new potting shed. We dug out the beds to get them out, cleared the many woodlouse & carried them over to where the shed will be.

We then ate jacket potatoes & soup generously supplied by Beth...thanks so much!

It was nice to meet Jake at his first session today, welcome.

After a last minute cancellation, Beth at Bedford Fields stepped up and held a session for us tonight. We really appreciate it, thank you!

After a moonlit run across the ridge, we got to work. Helen and Rachel moved soil into bags, Kat & I litter picked & Analise & Lydia cleared many, many leaves from the entrance. We finished off by clearing and bagging leaves from the street leading up to Bedford Fields.

Well done to Kat on her 90th mission & to Rachael on her 80th tonight. You two are amazing, thanks for all you do for GoodGym Leeds!

Last night, at Bedford Fields, the team moved pallets and slates ready for the shed build on 1 Nov.

The main task that everyone joined in on was digging the soil from a 'dead hedge' that Goodgym and others have added to over several months. The twigs, brambles and leaves had composted down into a lovely rich earth. It was so nice, we gathered up more old vegetation to start a new hedge, ready to continue the cycle.

Good work team!

On Tuesday evening, we collaborated with the Leeds Summit on Community Sport For Development and Diplomacy & held a GoodGym session for people attending the summit.

We headed up to Bedford Fields Community Garden to meet Beth for various jobs including a very satisfying one, pulling all the strings of hop off the cabin. We then hung the hop to dry so they can use it for beer making and decorations.

We also did some weeding, clearing and stick preparations!

It was great to meet everyone & thanks for supporting GoodGym Leeds!

A big thanks to Jason & Ivo for ensuring the runners got to where they needed to be.
