There was definitely an Autumnal feel this evening and we three of Luton's GoodGymers i the kitchen at FoodCycle there was no surprise that the mini pumpkin like squashes were turned into a delicious soup by Lucie. Gill suggested that it was like having our very own soup dragon (being from the generation that watched black and white tv programmes. Unfortunately her attempts to recreate the Clangers meant the others thought she was losing the plot. She and Dani git on with creating a lively earthy mushroom and lentil loaf and a delightful bread and butter pudding - with help from the other FoodCycle volunteers. Neill and Abdulrahman were hosting again and Abdulrahman , as always, had a smile throughout the evening - even when hoovering the church hall at the end of the session. Well done team, another delicious meal and lits of happy guests.

This week's Group Run (and cycle for Dani) took us to the 61 Football Club and we had Zoe back for a second time and even better, she brought Yiannis along for his first time. It's great to have you both getting involved!

On arrival at the club it was painting time, getting some blue on the walls in the main changing room and the referees changing room also got a lick of fresh white paint.

We took ten minutes at the end for a round of shuttle runs and random exercises from the fitness dice which turned out to be a decent selection of core-toning with a few squats too, a shuttle run to shake out in between each one.

Finally the return run back into town as darkness fell, reminding us that it will soon be time for headtorches again!
