6 GoodGymers tackled the leafleting task with youthful energy (until Christian set a challenging run pace) and after splitting into 3 teams, we followed our maps to explore parts of the local area new to some. We discovered the Hyde Park Picture House; New Headingley Club; several primary schools and churches lacking letter boxes. Sainsbury's vetted our leaflets most thoroughly...their noticeboards really do 'Taste the Difference'....All completed in an hour of beautiful sunshine. Thanks to Lilla from Unity for her detailed maps!

What a night! We celebrated Katie's upcoming wedding with a feast by Shannen & her catering company, The Honest Supper Club. The food was amazing & we polished it off with cake curtesy of Snack Force leader Jubz. Thanks guys, we loved it!! We all had a go at writing Katie's vows & apparently 12 kids & a peaceful home are on the agenda, along with pants on a lamp post?!!?!?!?!
Before the feast, the runners were taken on a wildlife mystery tour with an Alpaca being the star of the show. We did 5K, so we were a bit late for the task, but luckily the non runners were already hard at work (sorry guys)! We trimmed hedges, cleared the brambles, litter picked and revealed the tiles along the path.
We finished off with a walk back to Heart. Thanks for a great evening all & good luck Katie!

This morning Helen and I met to do Woodhouse Moor park run. Helen kindly ran with me, even though she's much faster than me & we finished in 31 minutes 40 seconds, around 3 minutes faster than when I do it alone. Thanks for your support Helen! A nice coffee & cake was waiting for us at the end :)

In the words of Rachel, 'what a wholesome evening!'
After a very hot run, it was so nice to be back up at the OWLS allotments on a lovely warm evening. We weeded several beds & paths & as there was 13 of us, we made a huge difference by the time we left. I'm always amazed by how much we can get done in an hour! This will allow the OWLS service users to focus on the fun stuff, planting and seeing to all the vegetables they're planting this summer.
Welcome to Ankita on her first Wednesday session & welcome back to Kawan.
