Despite me leading us to the wrong location, Emmanuel took charge calmly and directed us to the right location! ☺️ Thank you Emmanuel⁩ for your leadership skills.

Once at the right location, we enjoyed getting to know Sam who heads up the Parks and countryside department of the council, removing golden rod, clearing and creating a safer and more beautiful space for all residents of the area.

Foodcycle was really well supported by Goodgym today and it was lovely to have three of our newest members swelling the ranks if the hosting team alongside some of our regulars. Gill was doing a double shift on food collection - having collected earlier in the week, she dropped of one car load of food, which was an upper body work out in itself, before reloading the car with last week's empty crates and returning them to Sainsbury's before collecting some more produce. As the cooking team were very depleted she then stayed on for an hour and a half of the cooking shift as well. Martin got stuck in with the kitchen team too and soon a delicious meal was in the process of creation. Omar was a late sign up but arrived early and was soon able to show our newbies, Susannah , Fayemi and Bauyrzhan , how to setbup the hall for our guest. as always a delicious meal was served and the hosts did a great job of making everyone feel welcome. Thanks team - Foodcycle really appreciate all you do.

3 Goodgymers helped Sam from Luton Parks department with a conservation task on Monday. It was hard work but after lots of cutting back and trimming and a little bit of litterpicking and splashing about in the river. We all had a great time
