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!

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.

Today 2 GoodGymers headed down to the new community sauna to help prepare the site by doing ground work (moving a tonne of soil between places, de-weeding), building a cold plunge pool and a covered area to store wood for burning in the sauna. We can't wait for it to open!

It was great to have such a big group tonight, with 15 GoodGymers running up to Bedford Fields to do various jobs. It wouldn't be Bedford Fields without a wood chip workout, so we wood chipped all the paths, cleared and chopped up debris, sieved soil & Jubz dug a big hole to lay a pipe and then filled it all back in.

Welcome to newcomers Annie & Laura & welcome back to Kawan who last joined us in 2020 (thanks for the bike ride)!

Thanks all & great work everyone.

What a great night with the GoodGym Leeds gang! Last night, we met at Heart and ran up to Beckett Park, where we finally got to play a game of rounders. it was great fun and we definitely got better the more we played! Even though there were less people on Helen's team, they still won with 8 rounders over our 6.5...Well done guys! Everyone loved the game, so this is something we're going to do more of now the nights are lighter.
We finished off by running up to the Wetherspoons for a drink & some chips. Thanks for a great night all & welcome to an honorary member for the night, Jack.

Today, a few of the gang met at Bedford Fields for their re-opening party. It was sighthound central with Helen's beautiful Louie, the full size greyhound & my two tiny Italian greyhound's Elphie and Arlagh. They seemed to like each other but Elphie was rather dramatic over the fire so I had to take her home! It was lovely to see everyone:)
