Fourteen GoodGymmers gathered at Gynsills, Leicester for a Christmas get together filled with jumpers, sequins, glitter, and classic red GoodGym T's. We filled the longest table they had.

Everyone happily opted for the carvery, piling plates with all the trimmings. But the real showstopper? The desserts. One of them looked like it could feed a small family, and the collective gasp around the table said it all. Faces lit up even more when the doggy bags appeared haha.

It was an evening full of fun, laughter, and plenty of catching up. Some people met fellow GoodGymmers they’d only ever heard about from different days and groups, making the night feel even more special. Shout out to Jimmy who made the journey on his bike, keeping up the Goodgym ethos! And a special shout out for Lindsay who organised the event weldone!

A festive feast, great company, and plenty of laughs, Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas!

8 Goodgymers joined up with 3 CRT volunteers to get cracking on tidying up the towpath. Mel, Dave, Lindsay, Lynn and Julie along with CRT Pete collected between them 11 bags of rubbish. Today's pick of the day seemed to be bags of prawns (thrown into the river). Jen, Nick, Mohamed and CRT Alison and Rich worked on clearing the weeds off the towpath.
After lots of hard work the teams completed their tasks leaving the towpath looking spik and span. Mohamed ran 11km to the task today, well done for getting fitter whilst doing good!

Not even the rain could stop this brilliant bunch from getting stuck in at Saffron Acres today! Armed with gloves, loppers, and determination, half of us took on the tangled brambles and helped clear the way for the community space, the other half chopped the brambles ready for composting.

A big shoutout to Dave for keeping his word and sorting out the broken tap on the water butt, Saffron really appreciated it. Great job, Dave!

Also for Mo, who’s just completed his third good deed, clocking in an impressive 9km run. Keep up the efforts Mo!

As a well earned reward, we did a bit of foraging and came away with some tasty autumn treats 🍎🍏 nature’s way of saying thanks.

Weldone everyone we really made a difference yet again and the rain didn't stop play.

A great time spent with Rich & Pete from CRT, who with seven of the Leicester GG team got cracking cutting back the overgrown vegetation blocking the towpath and clearing up the rubbish. Dave saved a Hobby Horse from its watery demise - made a change from the usual shopping trolleys that we pull out of the water. Rich enjoyed his first Leicester session and will be back 🤞 Todays tally of retrieved rubbish: 13 coconuts, 8 bags of rubbish, 3 chairs and 1 Horse! Well done Nick, Julie,Melanie,Dave,Stu,Rich + Jen.
