A Joke is a Very Serious Thing

Wednesday 12th November

Written by Laura

Tonight, we met at Heart for a very soggy run through Beckett Park & were completely soaked when we got back! We then did a Christmas crafts activity for CAMHS mental health units. This is a task we did last year, making paper chains with jokes on for the young people to put up in their units. Helen & Christian cut the paper while the rest of us wrote Christmas jokes on them. I'll send them off this week.

Well done to Lydia who completed her 25th good deed tonight.

Welcome back to Helen who was a member before Covid & joined us back again after a long break this evening, we hope to see you again soon :)

Good work team!

A Full moon, Fertiliser, Flowerpots & Fireworks

Wednesday 5th November

Written by Laura

Tonight we ran across the ridge, admiring the fireworks & the full moon along the way.

We headed to Meanwood Valley Farm where half the group got to work cleaning out plant pots and the floor in the green house whereas the rest of us did our usual job of turning the compost. It was a muddy & smelly job but Helen hosed us all down at the end.

It was nice to meet Andreia & Sarah-Jane for the first time. Welcome to GoodGym Leeds.

....And I know that I should let go but I can't... ' Foundations by Kate Nash :)

Today we started to dig up some concrete slabs to lay the foundations of the new potting shed. We dug out the beds to get them out, cleared the many woodlouse & carried them over to where the shed will be.

We then ate jacket potatoes & soup generously supplied by Beth...thanks so much!

It was nice to meet Jake at his first session today, welcome.

Beth, you're a leaf saver!

Wednesday 29th October

Written by Laura

After a last minute cancellation, Beth at Bedford Fields stepped up and held a session for us tonight. We really appreciate it, thank you!

After a moonlit run across the ridge, we got to work. Helen and Rachel moved soil into bags, Kat & I litter picked & Analise & Lydia cleared many, many leaves from the entrance. We finished off by clearing and bagging leaves from the street leading up to Bedford Fields.

Well done to Kat on her 90th mission & to Rachael on her 80th tonight. You two are amazing, thanks for all you do for GoodGym Leeds!
