Six Goodgymmers went for our third consecutive year of putting up their Christmas trees at the Menphys office in Leicester. Stu and Jimmy made a great job of the big real tree in reception. Huw and Nick each had a large bag of branches to build into a tree. Biggest ones at the bottom, smallest at the top, and the rest somewhere in between. Lynn and Lindsay were wrapping presents for the young centre users. we soon ran out of baubles but Menphys have some new custom printed ones this year. The cakes were suitably festive

4 Goodgymers met at The Memphys Hub today to pack away the 4 Christmas trees and decorations for another year.
Stu was already hard at work when Nick,Mel and Dave arrived and had already felled one of the 4 trees! The others carefully removed decorations, window stickers and lights. They packed them carefully into boxes and tree bags . Lots of fun and an hour later all the decorations were stored away . The 4 were treated to a coffee in the hub cafe before they left . A great annual task.

The dynamic Goodgym duo Nick and Mel met at the Menphys Hub today to spread some festive cheer,by putting up and decorating three Christmas trees.
Nick had already assembled one when Mel arrived and after a delicious coffee , Mel and Nick were soon at work on the other two .
The duo made short work of the task and it wasn’t long before a tree for the reception area and a tree for the main hall were decked out with lights and baubles .
Nick finished off the tree for the library .
A great festive task which will bring a little bit of Christmas cheer to all who see them .

3 GoodGymmers helped support the Menphy's charity with their leafletting the local area close to their Charity shop on Latimer Street.
Stu ran to the task and by the looks of him when he arrived, very fast! Dawn walked to her lift to the task.
We were super speedy with terraced houses but did have quite a walk from the charity shop, covering over 3 miles in total, fantastic efforts both pleased you could join in today.

11 Goodgymmers came to share their Christmas Spirit by helping to wrap christmas presents for children and young people with disabilities at Menphys. There were over 600 presents generously donated and we also a Christmas tree to arrange, luckily Elf Kim stepped straight up to the challenge of untangling the Christmas lights, which has to be everyone's least favourite Xmas job!
All the elfies got stuck in, working together as always, spreading their Christmas cheer whilst eating mince pies and listening to Christmas tunes.
Great to see Dawn and Meena again for their 2nd group session, fantastic when new members come back for more!
Wrapping today was 10/10 at the speed of light and before we knew it huge piles of wrapped presents surrounded us and the tree was up with twinkling lights and a star on the top.
Weldone team fantastic efforts all round, there's going to be some very happy kids on Christmas morning.
