The nature of Leagrave park was getting set for spring, with the irises peeping up in the marshy areas, blossom on the trees and ducks checking out nesting spots. So, it was the last chance to get out there with the litterpickers and stash the trash in our bags before it all gets hidden under a new leafy green blanket.

24 bags, plus a trolley and two bike tyres, were the total haul of the team today, leaving the river, the hedgerows, the paths and fields of the park bright and clear of unsightly rubbish and ready for a spring with hopefully similarly bright and clear weather for a change!

It might have also been a certain Area Activators 500th good deed! Plenty of cake was harmed in the making of this good deed 😄

On Friday we celebrated four birthdays! Big thank you to Pastor Charmaine, Abim, Gloria, Bola and Susannah for helping everyone celebrate.

We had four birthday countdowns and lots of singing and dancing!

We served lots of people who got their dancing shoes on, sang and enjoyed delicious cake and lots and lots of oranges in celebration of Brian! As usual everyone enjoyed themselves. Afterwards we cleaned the whole building until it was shining. Big thanks to Pastor Charmaine, Abim, Emmanuel and Susannah. We also held a minute’s silence to mark the passing of our beloved Kathy.

A merry way to close the year at the cafe! Weldone to every goodgymer for their relentless support year round. Wishing us all a happy holiday!

Everyone enjoyed themselves at the annual Christmas party. There was a Christmas jumper competition, lots of food, dancing, presents and cheer. Hooray for singing cafe!

7 of GG Luton's finest braved the elements this week to help the Friends of Leagrave Park volunteers with their monthly litterpick. The weather was grim but you can't dampen our spirits. Great effort everyone 👏 👍🏻 👌

A big shout out to all goodgymers present today to show support at the cafe.
