We celebrated the 7th birthday of GoodGym Leeds by helping to tidy up the garden and outdoor space at Cardigan Community Centre. We split into groups and planted bulbs, weeded, pruned bushes, re-potted plants, and picked litter!

We then finished off the session with a birthday celebration, starring a gorgeous and delicious cake from Jason! Thanks Jason!! 🎉

Welcome to Matthew and Fraser, and welcome back to Kat!

Yes we can!

Last night the team got a great workout digging soil, moving it around ans creating a clear path at Bedford Fields. The rest of us weeded the beds. It was a great atmosphere as usual, with lots of chat & fun along the way.

Welcome to Mary who joined us last night.

Tonight was the only Wednesday of the year that we didn't do a task, as we celebrated with our summer social instead. We headed to Beckett Park for a game of rounders which everyone enjoyed and Alice led a game of tag...which was absolutely exhausting!! Joao, Alice & Billy were 'on' and did a good job, but eventually we wore them out!

We cancelled our picnic as rain was forecast (even though it didn't materialise), so we headed to the pub & ordered some very questionable pizza. Was it toast or was it pizza...who knew?!

Thanks for a great night all.

Adam got to try a new tool tonight...an extra long tree branch cutter (not it's official name). Needless to say, he was very pleased & is fast getting a reputation as our resident tool operator.

We were cutting the weeping willow tree branches to use them to wrap them around & protect the new fruit trees. This was not as easy as it looked & we made slow progress but our newcomers did manage to finish one off. Helen & Katie trimmed tomatoes & we also did a bit of weeding.

We even managed to avoid most of the rain, the runners got a bit wet, but mostly it stayed dry.

We had 4 lovely new members tonight, welcome to Trish, Kevin, Heidi & James. We hope to see you again soon.
