6 Luton Goodgymers joined the FoLP and ABCD-IN-LUTON for this months community litterpick.
We started by welcoming our first timer Susannah who was glad to finally come out with us after signing up a little while ago. As the temperature was beginning to climb Kevin from ABCD-IN-LUTON reminded everyone to stay hydrated and he'd generously brought some bottles of water 💧 💧 💧 so everyone could take one on their way round the park. It was quite a leisurely walk around the park, past the site of the new Luton Henge project and along the river Lea. We gathered around 15 bags of rubbish 🗑 and the park looked a lot tidier after we'd all finished. David occupied his regular spot dangling like Spiderman over the river, fishing out all sorts of goodies only this time he had to fish out something a little more personal to himself as his phone dropped out of his pocket into the juice. He assured me it was ok 👍🏻 📱 . All in all it was a good task and we look forward to returning next month. Great job, well done 👏

7 Luton Goodgymers supported the Shri Guru Ravidass Sangat Gudwara with the final session of Curry cooking classes. Lots of people attended so there was plenty of food prep, cooking and dish washing to keep everyone busy. We also got 2 new sign ups that I hope we'll see out with us soon. Everyone enjoyed a sample of the food made and a good time was had by all. I'm sure there'll be more cooking classes in the future but for now we bid a fond farewell to the Aunties in the kitchen. Great effort team 👏 👍🏻 👌

For this weeks group 🏃‍♀️ 🏃‍♂️ run, 🚶‍♀️ 🚶‍♂️ walk, 🚲 cycle the team headed over to 61fc to start (what now seems to be an annual task) painting the posts on the barrier around the football pitch so they look nice for the coming season. The team were 9 strong tonight and we welcomed Dinner Dee on her first group run after joining us for several other tasks, it was good to get her out and about with the team and we hope she'll join us again. Richard at the club was happy with what we got done and we've agreed to go back in a few weeks and get some more done. Great effort tonight everyone.

‘ And wouldn't it be nice to live together In the kind of world where we belong?’

A special parkrun this morning, with the colours of Pride very much in evidence. Goodgymers helped the morning along from set-up, through marshalling to keeping time. After a gray mizzling start the sun popped his hat on and came out to play. A great morning!

8 Luton Goodgymers came together to help host one of the latest sessions of cooking classes at the Shri Guru Ravidass Sangat Gudwara in town. This event is a great opportunity to support a fantastic local organisation and meet and meet others who are really interested in what we as Goodgymers do. We cooked Several rice dishes, sweet and savoury. Chick pea curry, paneer curry and rota's. After cooking, we ate and then helped the Aunties clean down the kitchen. This was a really fun evening.
