Fourteen GoodGymmers gathered at Gynsills, Leicester for a Christmas get together filled with jumpers, sequins, glitter, and classic red GoodGym T's. We filled the longest table they had.

Everyone happily opted for the carvery, piling plates with all the trimmings. But the real showstopper? The desserts. One of them looked like it could feed a small family, and the collective gasp around the table said it all. Faces lit up even more when the doggy bags appeared haha.

It was an evening full of fun, laughter, and plenty of catching up. Some people met fellow GoodGymmers they’d only ever heard about from different days and groups, making the night feel even more special. Shout out to Jimmy who made the journey on his bike, keeping up the Goodgym ethos! And a special shout out for Lindsay who organised the event weldone!

A festive feast, great company, and plenty of laughs, Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas!

This week's magic moments at parkrun were provided by Mel at watermead and Martin at abbeypark and Sheila and Jimmy at Braunstone well done all.

5 Fantastic Goodgymmers made their way to litter pick a stretch between the popular coffee house Jenno’s and Sainsbury’s as the area seems to be a litter trap. It was heaving even on a Friday morning so we made sure the leaflet stand was well stocked with GoodGym leaflets.

On route we found so many cans that we bagged those up separately and Nick is going to take them along to the Air ambulance charity where they get cash for cans.

Dawn found a tooth brush and I found a flattened pound coin that I donated to Stu, think he would have rather of had one he could spend.

3 full bags plus a sack of cans we were finished and ready for coffee, where we met Cliff and Lindsay’s cute little dog Alfie. Running Legend Stu was telling us about trip to Wales this weekend to run the 10km in Snowdonia, good luck!

Weldone team another morning well spent doing something good together.

4 fantastic Goodgymers came for a morning walk to help deliver the Braunstone Alert, a brochure by the charity B-inspired, informing the community about the events they have and the valuable foodshare service they offer.

We worked as 2 teams delivering meeting back up at the end of streets with bungalows, more hands made for lighter load and the task was complete in no time. Brilliant to have Cliff join us today using one of his community days from his work, good to see you.

Although we missed Goodgymmer Dawn on the session she had made an amazing chocolate cake for my birthday for us to have a slice with hot drinks after the task, very much appreciated, her cakes are delicious!

Weldone everyone great to see you all keep doing good and keeping fit.

Stu, Mel, Jen , Tracey , Cliff and Lindsay headed off to Bede Park in search of litter tonight .

Thankfully the sun shone after a rainy day and the search for litter wasn’t disappointing.

Bags of litter and cans were collected around the perimeter of the park.

Another great task that made the park cleaner for its users .

Well done everyone

Dan, Stu and Cliff are in for a cold Sunday afternoon stint at the vaccination centre.
