Tonight brought about the last cooking session for the Roma trust and the friends of the temple at the Shri Guru Ravidass Sangat Gudwara in town. We at Luton Goodgym have supported for 12 sessions which has helped the temple deliver a project that has brought together communities that otherwise may not cross paths and all through sharing the delights of Indian cooking. As this was the last session, our team turned out 11 volunteers to help with, prep, cooking and tidying up afterwards, as well as chatting and continuing to forge relationships with everyone on the room. 5 of us were a little late to the task as we were finishing up at another volunteerinng session in the town, but that didn't hold back the other 6 from getting stuck in. Making chapatis and putting all the ingredients together to make the tarka for the daal. Everyone took their turn tonight and the atmosphere was electric. The chai was flowing and the conversation was fantastic. Everyone had a great time this evening and we look forward to supporting the temple in the future as they always make us feel so welcome. Well done everyone and thanks for continuing to show what a fantastic bunch you all are.

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!
