This Sunday 4 Luton Goodgymers joined the Limbury Residents and Kev from ABCD-IN-LUTON on the next leg of the Great British Spring Clean.
15 attendees (including Spiderman and a dog) spent an hour collecting all sorts of treasures from clothes and shoes 👞 , to power tools and quite a considerable amount of red wine bottles. Someone definitely enjoyed themselves down there recently. 25 bags were collected and Kev heads off to his next event. Well done team, great effort this morning 🌄 👏 👍🏻 💪 👌

The final days of January and our last effort at getting empty tubs to various Greene King Pubs for their recycling and charity scheme. I can’t believe that we were still able to track down some empty tubs, but the good people of Luton and Dunstable seem to still be polishing off their Christmas goodies, including Duncan’s family who have at last finished the tub of Jacobs Crackers.

Ella’s netball team provided her with a boot full of tubs, that’s a lot of jumping around they will need to do to burn off all that chocolate. Pam took a stroll up to the Hungry Horse and created a Tub2Pub Jenga with Duncan’s Cracker tub. Gill found herself passing the Red Lion in Stevenage on her walk to the physiotherapist, so she ran back to her car to fetch the tub and deliver it. Charmaine and Martin pared up to deliver a tub of Roses to the Biscot Mill while Neil and Sheets went to The Anchor with their Heroes Tubs.

Hopefully we have now cleared up all the empty tubs from our friends and family and have made a fabulous contribution to the Greene King Macmillan/Recycling Scheme.

Well done to everyone who participated this year.

8 if Luton Goodgyms finest came out to support the Friends of Leagrave Park along with Kevin from ABCD-IN-LUTON for the first litterpickof 2025. The members from the local community made the numbers up to 14 attendees and as ever we found an eclectic mix of rubbish 🗑 in the hour and a half we were there. A bread basket, a tyre and the rear windscreen of a car to go with the 24 bags of rubbish we all collected, but for me the most interesting find was a bollard from a local car park. it was heavy but I managed to move it to a place it can be collected by the council and returned to its rightful place. Shockingly Omar found a knife which Kevin from ABCD-IN-LUTON has dealt with in the appropriate manner. Great effort as ever team. Well done 👏

10 of Luton Goodgyms elite, helped the Friends of Leagrave Park with their last litterpick of 2024. We were joined by members of the local community and 2 special guests as Father Christmas and Spiderman joined the volunteers. As ever the haul was hefty, 27 bags of waste collected with the usual intriguing odds and sods. A car tyre, a shopping trolley (of course), and a cool Thunderbirds action figure. Duncan deserves a massive shout out for pulling on the waders and getting into the river Lea to grab rubbish we feel like we've been looking at for months. Great effort team 👌 You are all amazing 👏
