Date and time
18:15 - 20:00Welcome to GoodGym York๐
๐โโ๏ธ๐We're a friendly and social group who combine exercise with helping out in the local community. Every Monday evening we meet to get active and do a physical task to help the charities or community organisations in our city.
TONIGHT
Weโll be heading to Green Lane Allotments in Acomb to help with woodchip spreading, leaf clearing and dead hedging
THE TASK
โ ๏ธ We'll be using hand tools, so please bring gardening gloves if you have them. It will still eb dark so a headtorch is also useful, but we will bring a couple of spares
WHERE WE MEET ๐
We will be meeting outside the Ackhorne Pub on St Martinโs Lane, YO1 6LR (just off Micklegate). We can leave our bags and valuables in their office, which is secure.
๐ฒThere is cycle parking nearby on both Micklegate and at the Priory Street Centre (as you approach the centre a 10 bay covered cycle parking is to the left in the car park) On street parking is available on Priory Street. These are all only a couple of minutes walk to the new meeting point.
RUNNING AND WALKING WITH US
๐ GoodGym is for everyone. We welcome runners of all abilities. This task is a bit far for a walking group but feel free to meet us there or cycle.
๐We always have a back-marker too so nobody will get left behind - no matter what your pace is.
POST-RUN SOCIAL
๐ป We will finish the group session back at The Ackhorne Pub on St Martin's Lane so why not stay for some liquid refreshment and a good chat?
