Today we were on duty at Luton Town Football Club where they were hosting a Job Fair. As old hands our main responsibility was to ask for feedback of the attendees as they left the Eric Morecambe suite. it was great to be helping alongside some if the staff from LTFC. The suite was soon buzzing with people talking with potential employers and we got the ipads and QR codes ready for the feedback surveys. It was interesting to hear people's positive comments and while Neill and Omar kept busy on the door Gill took on the task of providing the employer reps with hot and cold drinks. The day got busier as there was a huge queue of people waiting to attend - by the end of the fair we had seen around 600 people in total. Omar asked who Eric Morecambe is that the room (and stand) was named after which had Gill explaining about the 1970s comedy show and then had her singing Bring Me Sunshine and doing "that dance"! I think Omar and some of the attendees thought she'd lost the plot!!! By the end of the event Matt was really appreciative of our help and commented on the great customer service. Thanks team... job well done.

Two GoodGymmers made their merry way to support the monthly friends of DD & Winsdon Hill Litterpick. A surprisingly sunny and mild morning, we enjoyed being out in the fresh and and getting stuck in tackling the large amount of rubbish. Bagging up the smaller pieces and freeing the larger bits from the overgrowth. This is a heavily littered area, and the team are keen to clear it up so that the local community of people and wildlife can full enjoy it. Today we focussed mainly on the path to the left of the hill and headed up to where there were several ‘dens’ hidden by bushes and thorns which were covered in rubbish. We’ll be back again next month to keep up the good fight!

The weatherman didn't say clear today,
He didn't know that we wanted to say,
"Please don't be raining,
Raining in the park."

The sun's not out,
The sky's not blue,
So many clouds right over you,
It was raining,
Raining in the park.

Oh littery, littery.
And it was the first time for Lee.
🌧️
We get our hoops and off we go,
We’re picking litter as you know ,
It’s still raining, raining in the park.
🌧️
We keep on going, in the rain,
Soaked to the skin but don’t complain.
It was raining, raining in the park .
