9 GoodGym Leeds members completed several tasks at Left Bank tonight. The biggest challenge was to transform 3 beer barrels and some planks of wood into an attractive and functional bench. Much scratching of heads and wielding of power tools and saws eventually resulted in a sort of bench...well we liked it! Other tasks tonight included general weeding, litter picking and filling raised beds with compost. Left Bank staff very generously rewarded us with a round of drinks and we enjoyed seeing the various clubs doing their things inside. A warm welcome to Alina doing her first GoodGym Leeds task.

Tonight, 7 GoodGymers braved the April showers to deliver leaflets for Older Wiser Local Seniors in Headingley. Somehow, it miraculously stayed dry.

We split up into two groups, one faster and one slightly slower but both groups managed a 7K run around Kirkstall and Headingley. Helen is my hero and is going to finish off the addresses we didn't get to later this week, thanks Helen!

Welcome to Bryony who joined us for her first session, welcome back to El & congratulations to Ben who did his 10th & Helen who did her 5th mission.

Katie had already done a 6K run before we started, so we can safely assume she burnt off the French Fancy she had waiting for her afterwards.

Well done everyone, another great session!

This morning 9 GoodGymers braved the bad weather to do Parkrun and a litterpick.

After joining the 795th Woodhouse Moor parkrun, we went for coffee and pastry at Coffee on the Crescent and then hit the streets for a 45 minute litter pick. The streets of Headingley were pretty bad litter wise so we got 8 full bags!

Welcome to Kirsty who attended her first session, it was great to meet you.

Well done to everyone else :)

Tonight 6 GoodGymers ran from Heart to Bedford Fields Community Garden to do two jobs. Firstly we cleared the area behind the middle hedge, ready for their hedge workshop on Friday. We then raked the path and mulched by moonlight! To finish off we mulched the front path that is GoodGym Leeds' area; next time we're going to plan what we want to do in this area as a long term project which should keep us busy this spring/summer. I couldn't resist taking a picture of Naomi's amazing glow in the dark jacket :)
