It was pouring with rain this morning, but when has a bit of water ever been known to deter a Goodgymer from getting out and doing a good deed in the community?

While Gill and Darshini sensibly wore rain jackets, Omar decided to be more creative by improvising with a second litter bag and hoop. Well they do say, if you want to get ahead wear a hat. Jealous of his zany head wear, after finding a number of cones, Gill decided that these would also make a suitable hat for the task.

In fact there were 3 cones in total which we found, and the rain definitely felt like we were litter picking in a fountain! 3 Cones in a Fountain will hopefully give us good luck for the rest of the week - or at least for the rest of the litter mpick.

In fact luck was on our side as we managed to clear up some big ticket items including 2 pallets, a cupboard, some drawers and a television. We also had fun playing hoop-la with some cans - Omar was the best. I'm not sure what the other members of the South Luton Litter Pick thought of us, but when you're soaked ot the skin you have to find a way of making it fun.

Well done to the GoodGym Trio this morning, South Luton and Kevin at ABCD were really appreciative of our support.

it was an earlyish start at Wardown Park this morning as we'd been asked to help with putting up a marquee at 9am. Unfortunately the person in charge of the marquee didn't arrive until after 10. So Gill, Musa and Fayemi were detailed to get started on 3 small gazebos which were done in record time. Then the fun started with three marquee kits and very poor instruction. It was like a Mensa challenge combined with Task Master and The Crystal Maze. Poles were put out, repositioned, then moved again under the direction of the task owner who had at last appeared to guide us. Our 2 hours elapsed and we had the main framework sorted for their other volunteers to complete thus afternoon. Thanks to the team for helping them get sorted.
