Helping St Nick's
Making York's environment nicer for everyone
Please note that this group run has been cancelled.
Welcome to GoodGym York ๐
๐โโ๏ธ๐We're a friendly and social group who combine exercise with helping out in the local community. Every Monday we meet to get active and do a physical task to help the charities or community organisations in our city.
WHERE WE MEET ๐ We meet at the Priory Street Centre and our usual room is the Foxwood Room. As you approach the front of the Centre, turn right and go to the car park area. The room we use is locked whilst we're out so you can leave your bits and bobs in there.
๐ท If you would like still to wear a face mask when entering the building to drop bags off, that's fine.
๐ฒThere is cycle parking as you approach the Centre and a 10 bay pay and display car park is available behind the nursery block, to the left as you approach front of the Centre. In addition, on street parking is available on Priory Street.
TONIGHT ๐ฑWeโre helping St Nick's, probably at Fulford Ings again tonight. The area we'll be working on is very overgrown with nettles and balsam so we'll be digging a big balsam pit, pulling balsam and maybe scything nettles too. The balsam will go in the pit to rot down and the nettles will be turned into habitat piles along the hedgerow.
THE TASK ๐งค We've been warned that there could be lots of nettles so definitely don't forget your gardening gloves.
RUNNING AND WALKING WITH US ๐GoodGym is for everyone. We welcome runners of all abilities and if the task is close enough we have a walking group too.
๐We always have a back-marker too so nobody will get left behind - no matter what your pace is.
POST-RUN SOCIAL ๐ปWe normally head to The Ackhorne Pub on St Martin's Lane after our run for a spot of liquid refreshment and a good chat (COVID guidance-pending, obviously). Please join us!

New to GoodGym?
This is a GoodGym group run, where we run to help a local community organisation and then run back.
New GoodGymers are welcome to GoodGym group runs - no one gets left behind. You're unlikely to be alone, hundreds of new people sign up every week.

We meet in the conference room of York CVS. The door to the conference rooms is around to the right of the main entrance and the Denham Room is the very first room on the right as you enter.

Hi everyone,
You may have received an email already but central GoodGym have decided to cancel all group runs on Monday due to the extreme heat expected.
There may be a social being listed instead so watch this space.
Thank you and sorry about that.
Hopefully see you all soon,
Nicky
