On the weekend (oooops), four GoodGymers made their way to Hollywood Bowl for a social bowling. Although it was an unlimited night with a 3 hour slot, I didn't think we'd stay long enough to see it all through but suprisingly we got very close before we all decided to be sensible and go home but time flies when you're having fun!

We all had our moments of glory and not so much glory. Eva came to just have fun and didn't care about her score... until she started demolishing us and getting a strike. Alice bucked her trend of getting 7-8-9s, by finally getting her first strike which was witnessed by the entire venue (or we were all nattering away and she had to celebrate this glory by herself).

Whilst in the other games, Eva and Alice took their turns to be the best, Adam had the highest scores in the game. So when it was the final round of the final game, he was on 101 points and I trailed behind on 83-something, it was impossible for me to catch up. Unless... I happened to get a strike and then had to follow it up with at least a 9 to pip him to it. Which is exactly what happened - strike and a 9 with a final miss to give me the win with a 102 points 🤭

What a fun night, lets do it again!

Tonight we had a moonlit run through Beckett Park up to the OWLS allotments to help them to tidy up for the winter.

It was very dark up at the allotments but we managed to get loads done by torch & moonlight! Jason, Christian & Freddie took wheelbarrows down to go and get woodchip whilst the rest of us weeded, layed membrane & then put the woodchip down.

Welcome to Freddie & Matthew tonight & welcome back to Katie who's back from her adventures.

Thanks for a great night all!

'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 met at Heart for a very soggy run through Beckett Park & were completely soaked when we got back! We then did a Christmas crafts activity for CAMHS mental health units. This is a task we did last year, making paper chains with jokes on for the young people to put up in their units. Helen & Christian cut the paper while the rest of us wrote Christmas jokes on them. I'll send them off this week.

Well done to Lydia who completed her 25th good deed tonight.

Welcome back to Helen who was a member before Covid & joined us back again after a long break this evening, we hope to see you again soon :)

Good work team!

...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 :)

What a great night with the GoodGym Leeds gang!

In 30 degrees heat, we braved a short run up to the OWLS allotments. We've not been in a while so it needed some serious weeding but as there was 18 of us we got loads done and it looked so much better when we left! Adam wheeled Jubz around in a wheelbarrow full of insects, hopefully you've not been bitten Jubz!

We then headed back to Heart for a drink, chips and some lovely Indian cakes curtesy of Jubz's mum, thank you! :) The topics of conversation included erm cake & getting ticks in awkward places!

Great work team!
