Today we had 3 goodgym superstars Nick at Melton and Katy at Watermead and Martin at abbeypark all volunteering to help parkrun go smoothly well done all.

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!

4 goodgymmers continued into their parkrun era volunteering as marshals and barcode scanners at junior parkrun 👍🏻

It's 21 years of parkrun and helping the Parkrun party today was Katy and Jeanette at watermead doing a great job as usual well done everyone 👏

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.

Solo Nick supported Leicester Uni's volunteer fair hand out leaflets to new students.
