This weeks group ๐โโ๏ธ run, ๐ถโโ๏ธ walk and ๐ฒ cycle, we visited Penrose Roots to Recovery. We had a great turn out if 13 Goodgymers, 4 of which were first timers and 1 joining for their first group run. So welcome to Lee , Dilpreet, Fayemi and Bauyrzhan, we hope you enjoyed the evening and look forward to you joining us again. After heading off from the town centre the team headed out on a 2.5 km run, walk or cycle to join our friend Pete at Penrose. He got everyone shovelling fertiliser on to some beds and when that was done, we all got stuck in to some epic weeding. All in all, a great task that everyone contributed to and a fantastic evening to welcome some wonderful first timers. Great effort everyone, you done a fantastic job ๐ ๐๐ป ๐ ๐

The Health Fest brought together loads of organisations with the aim of helping people look after their health. GoodGym was flying the flag, speaking to members of the public, making connections and getting people to play our energetic ring toss game!
It was a long day but we had a lot of helpers along to take turns talking and running the game.

Luton Goodgyms turned out in force today to support Luton Foodbank's annual colour run.
After putting on the volunteer t-shirts and sunglasses, the team headed over to the paint station. This was essentially a box full of green powder paints that we were going to coat all the runners in as they passed by on their 3 laps around Wardown Park.
Surprisingly very few runners dodged the paint and instead opted for a good covering of colour. One participant asked if we could put some of the green powder paint in her hair as she had all the other colours but not green.
We had great fun playing with powder paints although our own clothes and trainers were casualties and we hope can we join again next year.
Great teamwork, everyone ๐

This weeks run/walk/cycle group task took us to a familiar setting. We recently supported the Shri Guru Ravidass Sangat Gudwara with their Near Neighbours funded cooking classes and it's always a great experience being in the kitchen, but on this occaison we helped in the temple by giving the upstairs a spruce up. When we arrived Sanjeev from the the temple had prepped the carpeted area in the main prayer hall by sprinkling a liberal amount of Shake and Vac across the floor, which once vacuumed up left the room smelling great - we really did "put the freshness back" in the room. The team also wiped down all the woodwork and dusted all the plant pots. We also had a good go at cleaning a bathroom area. Our hosts were grateful for the help and have asked if we can return again soon. This session was the first for Yohanns who met us at one of the previously mentioned cooking classes.
Great job team, well done ๐

6 Luton Goodgymers joined the FoLP and ABCD-IN-LUTON for this months community litterpick.
We started by welcoming our first timer Susannah who was glad to finally come out with us after signing up a little while ago.
As the temperature was beginning to climb Kevin from ABCD-IN-LUTON reminded everyone to stay hydrated and he'd generously brought some bottles of water ๐ง ๐ง ๐ง so everyone could take one on their way round the park.
It was quite a leisurely walk around the park, past the site of the new Luton Henge project and along the river Lea. We gathered around 15 bags of rubbish ๐ and the park looked a lot tidier after we'd all finished.
David occupied his regular spot dangling like Spiderman over the river, fishing out all sorts of goodies only this time he had to fish out something a little more personal to himself as his phone dropped out of his pocket into the juice. He assured me it was ok ๐๐ป ๐ฑ .
All in all it was a good task and we look forward to returning next month.
Great job, well done ๐
