One Heli of a litterpick

Saturday 5th October

Written by Martin R

Octobers community litterpick at People's park was well attended, 6 of the 14 that turned out were from Luton's Goodgym elite. The team got stuck in to the task at hand and helped to collect 19 bags of rubbish (8 of which were filled with recycling ♻️). A toy helicopter was found too and it was also recycled as a lady came passed with her grandson and asked if she could have it. The team also helped to trim back some of the trees 🌳 🌳 🌳 that were overhanging the footpath. Well done everyone, great effort 👌

Welcoming a new friend to a familiar task

Saturday 7th September

Written by Martin R

4 Goodgymers made their way to Peoples Park, to help the Friends of Peoples Park with their monthly litterpick. The team welcomed Yousef to his first task as we all got stuck in to help the team of volunteers collect well over 20 bags of litter, around 8 of which were all filled with recyclable waste. It was a lovely day for a stroll in the park and making such a positive impact on the environment made it all the more enjoyable. Well done team 👏

100 not out and rain didn't stop play

Saturday 6th July

Written by Martin R

The weather was not in anyway appealing this morning, but a little rain was not going to stop Goodgym Luton getting out and supporting the monthly community litterpick at People's Park. Especially when there is a GG milestone to celebrate 🍾 🙌 👏 👌 👍🏻 😀 🍾. We joined the Friends of Peoples Park and a group of volunteers from another organisation in Luton and litterpicked around 12 bags of rubbish. As I mentioned before though, the highlight was celebrating Rebecca's 100th Goodgym task, well done for achieving this milestone, I can't wait to see you with your wings.

You've Done Too Much, Much Too Dung

Saturday 1st June

Written by Gill (She/her)

While we may not be a musically gifted, a group of us paused in our litter pick to pose for a sultry photo good enough to grace the front of any early '80s album. We'd had a busy morning, having previously taken part in Parkrun before walking or cycling to meet the rest of the group for our monthly tidy up of People's Park. Fun Boy 3 - David, Musa and Derrick had taken the lower slopes of the park while Martin and Gill had scaled the hill initially sorting out a number of dog waste bags then going further to clean up an encampment before joining the three others making up The Specials of the morning. As we completed our clean up Musa had a narrow escape with another pile of doggy dung by one of the bins and we felt we might not have "Done Too Much" but at least we'd done enough to make sure we didn't have a "Dirty Old Town".
