Tonight was our Christmas party where we got to celebrate all we'd achieved this year & to have some fun! We met at a church hall to have pizza, sweet treats and play games including charades, silly games with cups & the cereal box game (I guess you had to be there)! We finished off with a quiz & celebrated GoodGym Leeds' numbers this year. We did a whopping 709 good deeds, helping 26 different, local organisations, had 12 socials including our first camping trip & we did 2 races (with 2 more to come in December). What a great time we've had doing it all! From members who have been here throughout, to new members who have become part of the team, thanks so much for making GoodGym Leeds so great!

Shall we do it all again in 2026?!

Thanks to Chloe & Rachael for running games tonight.

Happy Christmas everyone!

'I have maggots in my....' you know the rest!!

Last night, we had a great time at Leeds Grand Theatre watching The Book of Mormon. It was so good, we're all playing the sound track on repeat!

Thanks for a fun night all.

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.

...you had to be there for that one!!

Tonight we had a new task & headed up to Shire Oak Primary School to help paint the walls for the new sensory outdoor classroom. We got to work & managed to do all the weeding too. The walls will need another coat, so we're going back in October to finish the job.

Lots of amusing conversations were had with topics including eyebrows, beards, tents blowing away, the US ambassador and comedy writing! Oh and a phoneless chimney sweep...

Thanks for a great evening all :)

Tonight we named 3 pigs...Laura, Helen & Jason, the girl pig with an identity crisis. They're the new resident pigs at Meanwood Valley Farm & we hoped naming them may prolong their lives.. here's hoping!

We had a good run and then had 3 jobs, weeding the beds for winter vegetables, turning compost (we now have professional status with this task) & bringing woodchip down to cover new compost.

Fun & games were had involving wheelbarrows & Jubz...I say no more...

Thanks for a great evening all!
