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.

We gathered at the Old Grey Mare for a rare indoor task. We also welcomed Elspeth who joined us from another goodgym and will hopefully be around for a while- hope to see you again soon!

We worked in two groups cutting strips of paper (some more accurately than others), then writing jokes on the back from a pre approved list. These varied in funniness and were not all grammatically correct, but we stuck to the instructions with only a few minor corrections.

Once a set of 50 was complete, they were bundled up and clipped together ready to be posted to CAMHS for young people in hospital to make paper chains at Christmas.

We managed to make three sets then many of us hung around for a drink and food.

We were 4 today so the task was done in double quick time. Then off to Ruby's for coffee and bacon roll ( Liam) while Babs, who had at last remembered her loyalty cards, was able to combine her 3 cards into one!
