What a group of dedicated GoodGymers we have here in Leeds! 8 of us headed to Heart today and as soon as we got there the torrential rain started. We all ran up to OWLS allotments to do some weeding, but the rain came down faster and faster as we worked. We managed to clear some of the path and the raised beds of weeds but after around 45 minutes, we decided to head back and have an early finish. We were all soaked to the skin but even so, Jason was a good sport and stood under the rainy roof to get a video of just how wet it was.

Well done team, I couldn't think of a nicer group of people to spend a wet Wednesday with!

Congratulations to Katie, she reached a whooping 70 good deeds last week (sorry, i'm a week late) & Rachael who did her 50th tonight. Thanks for all of your hard work guys :)

Tonight 10 GoodGymers ran up to Bedford Fields Community Garden to do a variety of tasks. Between us we emptied the van, tidied up the borders, cleared a path, weeded and litter picked the area! It was a whirlwind but we got a lot done in an hour and 10 minutes. We did however almost lose two members when Bryony & Shannen diligently litter picked on the paths above the garden...a moment of panic when we thought they'd got lost. Luckily they came back with 2 full bags of litter.

Well done everyone!

A big GoodGym welcome to Sana tonight on her first session and welcome back to Kerry, Lana & Irene.

Tonight 13 of us ran from Heart down to Left Bank (after a little detour from Katie)!

The staff asked us to sand down and paint benches with pink & red stripes. We got to work and the benches looked great; the staff are going to gloss them tomorrow to finish them off.

Afterwards, Left Bank kindly gave us a drink each as a thank you, which were gratefully received.

Welcome to Irene who joined us for her first session tonight.

Well done to Adam on his 20th good deed tonight & Bryony for her 10th!

It was a great evening, thanks all :)
