Thank you to all the good eggs that came to this task. Sometimes, GGers are the only people for the job - or jobs, as we found out! First we put up the big gazebo and set up tables outside. Then we scoured the lawn and picked up all the pooh! What pooh? Well, rabbit, cat, fox and bird jobs as it happened! No body complained at getting the shit tasks! The Easter bunny had certainly left his/her mark! Abi was let off picking up, due to being 'with child'. She pointed out holes that may cause a trip hazard for the children with visual impairments. 'Shit galore!' exclaimed Abi, enjoying watching us at work! After thoroughly washing our hands, we covered any thistles with picnic blankets. We then sorted out the plastic eggs. The larger ones needed fresh batteries to get their beep back.These were talking eggs! Eggxtra care was taken to lay them in position for little hands to find. Finally we carried the hundreds of chocolate eggs to the swapping stall, where plastic magically becomes cocoa. Marvellous! The Wilberforce House team were so grateful for our help. The sun is out for a fantasic afternoon ahead.

Today we started by celebrating some amazing milestones- Leanne doing 1200 good deeds, Amy doing 300 and Neil 50! They all wore their capes with pride!

We also congratulated David on running an amazing 50km ultra on Saturday (and still able to run tonight), and the many runners who did the Helmsley 10k. We also marveled at Rich cycling back from the lakes!

After naming and numbering off, and saying what we'd do to help the planet in honour of earth day tomorrow, we set off to the cemetery.

We were met by Clive and set to task clearing an area of brambles to make way for tree planting later in the year. After 45 mins of graft we'd made good progress and also uncovered some hidden graves.

To finish the session, the new discs of delight came out which involved doing lots of our favourite exercises. If your disc said hunt your team got to go hunting for eggs. Winners got a creme egg then we headed back to base. We promised Clive we'd be back soon to finish off so watch out for that task.

Another load of bays successfully cleared of their compost by the crack team of Goodgymers after the 4th visit to West Bank Park in just over a couple of weeks

This time Ed took up the role of the man in the skip, helping to lift the barrage of barrows and position the compost where it needed to be

There were definitely some tired legs (and heads) out there today with David having completed an ultra over the weekend, Ed having done the Helmsley 10k and a few people spending a chunk of the previous day in the pub. But we got a load done before a few people headed on to a café for some well-earned tea and cake

Fabulous Good Friday fun at the Tiny Forest as the remarkable Yorkie GoodGymers descended en masse to tend the trees. The saplings have reached their first anniversary and are looking good. Buds have unravelled revealing fresh lush leaves. Wildlife is moving in & today's spots included frog, mouse, kestrel & pretty iridescent bugs. After some light weeding, mulching, mound moving & trough filling the chatter & banter continued around the picnic table. Wonderful work everyone tending tiny trees for the future.

It was back to West Bank Park tonight to carry on with last week's task of emptying the compost bins into wheelbarrows and running them over to the skip in the car park.

Before setting off we gave a round of applause to Vicky and Helen who had completed the Wensleydale Wander at the weekend and also welcomed Becca along for the first time. Give her some cheers 🎉

After a quick titanic themed warm up, it was the off to the task with Ed leading the run out and Nick leading a walk/run group which, by all accounts, was mire run than walk!

At the task we were greeted by Kristina from the council's eco team who got us to focus on one area rather than the 2 we were spread across last week. Mitch and Vicky were our designated skip people to help with coordinating the inbound wheelbarrows.

I want to join the Red Barrows - Leanne

The tactic of sticking to one area seemed to work and the crew got into a good rhythm with their shovelling and barrowing. So much so that they started to get creative whilst running with the wheelbarrows, with Nick being very keen to show off the first ever outing of the GG 'Red Barrows'.

As the task drew to a close there was just enough time for Michael to completely empty his compost bin. He was so proud of this achievement that he demanded we got a photo of it. Well done Michael 👏

For fitness, the group split into two teams and picked cones with either a set of exercises or an "egg" underneath them. The team with the most eggs would be declared the winner. Although thanks to a lot of luck and a little bit of cheating from Lyndsey, it really wasn't much of a contest at all!
