We had a bumper turnout for group run - not sure if it was due to the sunshine, the painting task or talk of pineapple! We celebrated David's parkrun PB, Barbara's season's best and Carl's good for age time, then warmed up and discussed chocolate bars we didn't like. I wasn't there but am firmly in the anti snickers camp!

Once we arrived at Park Grove, we swiftly got into groups and started work. A small team continued the willow weaving, another small group worked on the blackboards and another clearing up the mud kitchen. This still left a good crew to paint the fence.

There was lots to do but because of our big numbers we raced through and left the area nicely spruced up!

We then had time to test out the new fitness dice. Carl put the group to shame by being the last one going when burpees to failure was rolled!

It was then back yo back until next time!

Tonight we returned to Park Grove to give the willow its annual haircut.

We welcomed newcomers Leticia, Matt and David to their first group sessions then headed through town to the school.

When we arrived we split into three teams - loppers, runners and weavers. Within no time the willow was cut down and transported to the dome, where the team added to the structure.

We then finished off with heart shaped strava art fitness for York Cares. The heart shapes were questionable but we spread lots of love and were rewarded with a chocolate heart.

We then headed back to base to round off another fun Monday evening.
