We had a good team out this morning to support the Friends of People's Park with their monthly litter pick, and it was lovely to welcome Petros Teklayi for his first ever GoodGym task. He teamed up with Lee and they were soon headed off into the trees to locate rubbish and recycling. Gill managed to grab the most interesting find of the day - a rather salubrious sports car , and although it was missing two wheels Lucie took a shine to it, and decided this was her new car! She and Dani headed off across the meadow, and Gill and Anthony went through the orchard and up and over towards Pope's meadow. Rachel joined with the Friends to keep things clean near the park area. We left the park looking neat and tidy and ready to welcome weekend visitors. Well done team. We hope that Petros has enjoyed his first foray into GoodGym and that he'll join us in many more missions.

With heatwaves gone but summer still burning away without any rain, the young orchard at Wigmore Park was in need of a good watering as the trees were showing signs of stress, that is until we arrived in force to help Konni from the Luton Orchards project give them all a good drink.

After running to meet in the orchard our team of six went back and forth giving each of the 60+ trees twenty litres of water to get them through the dry spell. when they were all done Konni kindly refreshed us with some of last year's apple juice, made from apples collected from all over Luton!

Tonight was the first session for Andy who put in a strong run and made a good effort on the task, a very welcome new addition to the team, well done Andy!
