3 GoodGym folk braves the coldest morning of the winter so far to give it some heavy selling for our mates at the Chase the Pud race

Vicky, Neil and Nick formed a barricade behind the barcode scanners - there was no escape!

in the event the mums and dads of the 142 kids parkrunning were as keen as mustard

Job done!

7 GG yorkies met at the Bowls club to help with weeding and woodchipping an overgrown patch near the car park.

Kit zeroed in on a sycamore stump, speculating on whether it needed digging up. He was convinced that he was the man for the job when Leanne said it was probably still there because it was too hard to dig up. Further comments from our task owner that it was a lost cause only renewed his determination and soon enough, Kit held the remnants of the tree stump over his head in victory.

Meanwhile, everyone else weeded the rest of the patch and laid woodchip on top of the freshly dug ground, just in time for the rain to start. We took refuge inside the bowls club where we celebrated our hard work with leftover sandwiches and cake from the morning's bowls club AGM.

For the last 9 days Goodgymers have been knocking on doors and hand delivering to over 30 addresses to bring them the good news of the forthcoming York Disability Week. From rehab centres,to warm hubs, charity shops and assisted living flats, they covered all kinds of related venues. Thank you to all. We hope lots of people go along and benefit from the exciting activities planned in the brochures.

5 GGers had a lovely time installing wildflower turf patches in Fulford. Shout out to Leanne quickly identifying an effective template digging approach and Gemma for construction of a bee bank with left over turf. Job done in 1 hour.

Vicky, David and Nick had another session of promoting Chase the Pud at Parkrun. Lots of interest so hopefully entries will rise!

4 GoodGymers cleared up after the brilliant Planet Food in record time. Hoover, Stack, Clear and Clean. On repeat. Huge thanks to Gemma, Kirsty, and Mike - and of course to the whole team at Planet Food making great meals out of food otherwise heading for landfill. A clean sweep once again.
