What a great evening we've had with the GoodGym Leeds gang tonight.
Compost moving, weeding & laying membrane were the name of the game up at OWLS allotments. There were also discussions about ants, cricket, musicals, football & Carole.
We then headed to Heart for a drink afterwards & discussed Sarah's interview tomorrow at BBC Radio Leeds where she'll be talking all things GoodGym. We can't wait to listen Sarah!

As Jubz kindly helped me figure out my tent putting up skills in preparation for our camping weekend, the rest of the team got to work on OWLS allotments.
We filled in a hole, weeded large areas & laid some stones. Great work everyone & sorry I only joined in at the end! But at least I now know how to put my tent up! Thank you Jubz :)
Thanks to Helen for meeting the group at Heart & welcome to Aran & Farzad on their first session, we hope to see you again soon.
Thanks also for the pun idea Sarah!!

Tonight was our spring social & what great weather for it!
We ran straight to OWLS allotments where we spent around 40 minutes weeding & moving compost. We worked fast so that we could get to the park for our game of rounders. We got into two teams of 9/10 people & started the game. I don't think we 100% stuck to the rules but no one cares, we just have fun with it! We all had 3 bats each & I'm proud to say our team won with a score of 10 & a half to 8 & a half rounders. Well done gang!
We then headed to the pub for food & drinks. Poor Shannen got asked for ID so couldn't buy her alcohol free beer (yes really)...I'd take it is a compliment Shannen!
Welcome to Lydia on her first session, we hope to see you again soon. Thanks also to Erica for bringing everyone she knows to GoodGym:)
Thanks for a great evening all!

It was boys vs girls tonight as we split into two groups to leaflet to OWLS service users around Headingley & Burley.
The girls did just under 7K & were happy to bump into the boys group just as they were finishing. We dragged them around to finish with us (I bet they wish they hadn't seen us)!!! Thanks to Christian & Adam who took the last ones to finish off on their way home.
It was so nice to do a task in the light tonight....Hello Spring!!
It was also good to welcome back Fay & Katie.
Great work team!

For the first time this year, we met as the sun was shining!! Hooray! The group headed straight to the OWLS allotments to make the most of the light & we got to work weeding & turning compost. It soon got dark, but lighter sessions are on the horizon & they can't come soon enough! We then had a run through the woods back to Heart.
Welcome to John on his first session & welcome back to Amy & Eb. We hope to see you all again soon.
