Sub-zero temperature made us all very grateful for our indoor meeting location where we could get thoroughly warmed up before dashing out into the frosty night air.

It's definitely bobble hat and gloves weather now but all the warm up and running gave us good central heating so it wasn't uncomfortable as we headed along the busway to the clubhouse at 61FC.

On arrival Cliff issued us with rollers and brushes and we set to work making the walls of the home changing room a lovely baby blue, the 61FC team colour.

With a team strong in number we managed to get the big home changing room sorted very quickly and moved on to the away changing room. With all the relevant walls sorted it was time for washing brushes and cake 🍰

Lizzy had just completed her 💯 th good deed and earned her GoodGym Wings🪽 Well done Lizzy!

Myself and Martin returned for week 3 of the garden tidy today for Mrs S, the rain just about stayed away and we got straight to work, picking up where we left off last week. Martin chopped up some fallen tree branches that had been there for some time and tidied the rear of the garden. I set about pulling out lots of overgrown grass levelling the area as much as I could. The garden is now looking significantly tidier and Mrs S and her son were thankful for our return visit.

Today, the Friends of Leagrave Park held their monthly community litterpick. 6 of Luton GoodGym's finest braved the chilly morning but enjoyed the glorious sunshine 🌞 as they got stuck in to the task. There were plenty of beautiful colours amongst the leaves at the bottom of of the tree's which confused us once or twice as it was easy to mistake them for litter. It's always a pleasure to see the wildlife in the park, and we got a wonderful sight of a little egret that took to the sky before we could snap it. The team gathered 8 bags of rubbish and had a really fun morning. Awesome effort team

Twas four weeks before Christmas and while people ate dinners, letterboxes were flapping thanks to Goodgymers

The leaflets were posted through doors with care inviting all residents to the Christmas Fair

By the end of the night Goodgymers were in bed with dreams of good deeds playing out in their head

Today I returned to Mrs S garden with additional help from fellow GoodGymer Martin.

Making good progress today we cleared the rest of the path and between the paving slabs, which were totally covered in overgrown grass up until now. Now that the areas clear her daughter suggested installing a bench so Mrs S could sit outside again.

We then started to tackle the other side removing a lot of brambles, shrubbery old fencing and tree branches. It’s started to already look a lot different and a couple more sessions should see the garden nice and tidy through to spring.
