We came at this task from opposite ends of Acomb over a mile apart. Vicky and her crew headed West from The Fox and the Griffs headed East from The Crooked Tap. We all met up on Front Street in the heart of Acomb to find we had all gathered some litter, but not as much as we had expected. Clearly Acomb Festival goers are a tidy bunch! So with time to spare all nine of us headed back to The Crooked Tap for a drink where the end-of-festival party was due to start later. AcombFest was organised by Art of Protest and has been an amazing success.

👕 7 lovely GoodGymmers came to help at the clothes swap this month. Some of us came straight from parkrun, for our second volunteering stint of the day. Some came out of purely altruistic ambitions, answering the pleas that the clothes swap were short of their volunteers today. (Some may have had an additional alterior motive for some this month, in looking for an outfit suitable for a wedding (parkrun), lurking around the sparkly rail.) Success was had in both senses - we did lots of helping and outfits were found.

🍰 Vicky had both her work and GoodGym hats on today, selling some (delicious) cake to raise money for York Carers Trust.

⏰ The hour passed quickly and it was soon time to head off, safe in the knowledge that we've hopefully saved some clothes from landfill.

👏 Thank you everyone!

We make very quick work setting up the clothes swap then spent equally as long discussing dating apps and serial killers.

We'll be back in the morning to help with the hoards if folk looking for their saturday morning swap shop
