Six Goodgymers made a second evening visit to Oadby Youth Club.. We welcomed Clare to her first Goodgym event. Huw had been dropped off a couple of miles away from the task so he could run the last bit of his journey, having already done his training session in the morning. This time we were clearing the patio space at the back of the club and the bank behind it. There were a lot of brambles and overhanging trees which made it a very rewarding task to see the difference we had made. We then cleared the grass, soil and moss off the slabs. Many builders bags were filled with the cuttings. The youth club produced the cups of tea and were very happy with the improvement we had made.

6 goodgymmers got their vitamin D whilst doing good this morning helping out at junior parkrun 👌🏼

3 Goodgymmers excited to get stuck in at Braunstone Community Primary had their dreams dashed when the gates were locked and nobody was at home. Turning the situation around we cracked open a non-alcoholic Athletic brewery beer in the shade while waiting another 10 minutes just incase because we had been assured someone would come to let us in. Luckily the litter pickers were still in the car from last week.

The busy school road was being dug up so we could litter pick to our hearts content without any traffic. Plus there was plenty to pick from, cans and bottles lined the street and even a plastic frog that Jimmy kept to put on his bike.

We enjoyed the walk and the chats, Stu telling us about his 10km trail race in Wales and taking 2nd place in his age group, yet again another win for Stu the running legend. Plus Jimmy sharing his wisdom in cycling, he doesn't realise it but I would not be out on my bike as much without his wise words, one day I will get a bike rack.

Weldone both, so pleased you could join in.

5 Fantastic Goodgymmers made their way to litter pick a stretch between the popular coffee house Jenno’s and Sainsbury’s as the area seems to be a litter trap. It was heaving even on a Friday morning so we made sure the leaflet stand was well stocked with GoodGym leaflets.

On route we found so many cans that we bagged those up separately and Nick is going to take them along to the Air ambulance charity where they get cash for cans.

Dawn found a tooth brush and I found a flattened pound coin that I donated to Stu, think he would have rather of had one he could spend.

3 full bags plus a sack of cans we were finished and ready for coffee, where we met Cliff and Lindsay’s cute little dog Alfie. Running Legend Stu was telling us about trip to Wales this weekend to run the 10km in Snowdonia, good luck!

Weldone team another morning well spent doing something good together.

Five Goodgymmers went to tidy the gardens at Oadby Youth Club. Fortunately regular gardener Stu had brought his garden shed of tools so we could tackle everything the task threw at us. We uncovered the path, cleared the weeds and tidied the path outside that was very overgrown. They host many daytime community groups throughout the week as well as the Youth Club in the evenings, so many members of the community will appreciate our efforts.
