Four fabulous GG Yorkies assembled in Rawcliffe for another leafleting session for St Leonard's Hospice. The leaflets are to help recruit more volunteers and advertise their new shop at Clifton Moor which has been extremely busy since it opened.

Ed and Neil went off to deliver leaflets a little bit further away, whilst myself and Vicky did the immediate area from our meeting point. We managed to not get lost in the maze of cul-de-sacs and after 45 minutes had delivered all our leaflets despite the gentle drizzle. Ed and Neil had also delivered all of their leaflets so a total of around 500 done this evening - well done gang!

I popped along to Planet Food to help set as they were short this week. Turns out very short as only me until Compost john arrived and helped. There were lots of volunteers sorting food and prepping - its such a great operation!

Forgot a photo so here is one of my cats

Myself and Christine were asked for a slight change in the setup this week. Long tables were required with short tables put next to them to make even longer tables. The heavy chairs were arranged around the tables and we were done in no time. Things may change again next week!

Tonight we started by welcoming back Christine and George to goodgym, by celebrating Barbara 800th good deed and by awarding Becca the goodgymer of the month! 🤩

We warmed up by saying who our 80s icon was then headed off to York Cemetery, with a quick pause for a photoshoot on blue bridge.

We were met by Clive upon arrival and also welcomed Leonie to her firsf task. We then headed up to the back of the cemetery 🪦💀 to remove poplar suckers. If these are left there would be a poplar forest before we know it and that won't do! Between us we sawed, hacked, snipped and dragged until there were considerably less of the little tikes. 🌳

We then enjoyed a fitness session of circuits which included some skipping lessons!

Then back to base for some of Barbara's brownies and a liquid refreshment in the pub. 🍻

Leanne braved a rainy lunchtime run to join Mikael with stacking, chairs, clearing tables and sweeping floors at the end of this week's Planet Food session and was handsomely rewarded with a cinnamon roll!

Congratulations to Barbara for completing 800 tasks! Fabulous work, effort & commitment. Once more the furniture was shuffled about to accommodate the older people attending today's club. Followed by some silly attempts at trying to look like chairs but unfortunately our knees weren't quite up to that task! 🤣 DCCC - Day Care Chairs Configured or Roman numerals for 800 - take your pick.
