A trinity of runners met up in town to run out on a quest to find the Holy Gail who was meeting us at the task this evening.

We had a surprise on arrival as Gail had blessed us by bringing a new team member, so we welcomed Jenny to the gang and set about the evening's task.

The 150 year old Holy Trinity Church had gathered a bit of dust and lost some of its sparkle. To kick off a series of tasks to polish up the church's rough edges we got started with giving the floors a good vacuuming and mopping and also polished up some of the pews.

After 40 minutes of effort from our team of 5 there was a noticeable difference, surfaces were shiny again and the air was filled with the smell of furniture polish. William and Violet, our hosts for the evening, were very pleased with the diligent work of our team and are looking forward to us returning for another visit soon!

We joined the Friends of Stopsley Common for a scenic walk to see various flowers in bloom but particularly the blossoming bluebells. Along the way we picked up any litter and left the woods spotless.

In the end, we collected three bags of rubbish and were surprised the find several crisp packets from the 1990s. We had a competition but David beat my 1999 crisp packet to win with 1991.

Five Fit Goodgymers took on the uphill run from the town centre to Stopsley on a mission to complete a second round of painting at the Green House community hub.

The old Sunday school building has been converted into a community cafe to sit alongside the community garden and be a meeting point for the community.

We painted the new toilets white and primed the fresh plaster in the main space ready to take a nice coat of white next time.

The evening was finished off with a nice downhill run back into town.

This weeks group run saw the latest effort to Keep Britain Tidy by doing our bit to Keep Luton Tidy for the Great British Spring Clean.

Most importantly it was Gail's 50th task! Gail has been on the team since before GoodGym Luton started so we're fairly sure she's done more than 50! Definitely well deserving of a shiny new black shirt!

We took the long road up to Farley Hill, rising up out of town to be treated with a panoramic view of the twinkling lights. Arriving at the Farley Hill Community Centre we met Martin with The litter pickers and set work collecting litter from around the community centre, the shops and the playground here. Four bags later we set off again on the return journey back down the hill into town.

Yesterday evening Gill David and myself went along to Azalea, to return all the boxes and bedding that the GG Luton team had moved on a group run a few months ago, back to the newly refurbished basement area. Our task hosts were very grateful to see us and we made light work of the task before us. It took us around 30 minutes to move all the goods from the 1st floor down 2 flights of stairs to the basement. It was sweaty work but we dud a good job and took a well deserved sit down at the end on the sofas that under all the bits we had moved. Well done team.
