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.

We came together once again to prepare and enjoy a hearty, healthy meal – featuring delicious chickpea curry, hot rotis, comforting dal, cooling yogurt, a fresh salad, and creamy Seviyaan milk pudding for dessert. The kitchen was alive with energy – pans sizzling, rotis puffing, black pepper grinding, and yes, plenty of washing up! We all sat down together to share a nutritious meal made with love and teamwork. Big thanks to all the GoodGym Member and temple in making the session a success.

A trio of Luton Goodgymers teamed up with the London Road Litter Pickers for the South Luton monthly litter pick. It was another baking hot morning but we were undeterred. As well as picking up the usual array of cans, bottles, food containers etc. we also targeted Memorial Park where it was clear there had been a bit of a “do” the night before with canisters of nitrous oxide (laughing gas), balloons and other small packets. It’s such a shame these were left by the children’s play area, but we soon got it tidied up. Lots of The local residents commented on what a great difference we made. Well done Yazed, Yasin and Gill, our help was much appreciated.

6 Goodgymers joined the Shri Guru Ravidass Sangat Gudwara in Luton on session 4 of their curry cooking classes. Our team helped to clean pots and pans and annoyed a share of the culinary spoils too. We're always made to feel so welcome at the temple. We look forward to helping again at the next session
