Tonight was our first balsam bashing of the season and there was plenty for everyone! 🌱

Before setting off all the way to Fulford Ings we celebrated May's goodgymer of the month Hannah Hannah has become a Monday night regular as well as giving up time on many a Friday. To top it off she's upped her running and is training for a marathon! What a legend!🤩

Matt also completed his 250th parkrun so we cheered him too!

Finally we welcomed Scarletto her first group run. Not sure how she heard about goodgym!

After all the kudos we headed off with Ed leading the run and Vicky with a cycling group.

At the ings we were net by Nicola who had been bashing all day but assured us there was plenty left! We avoided midges, nettles and thistles best we could and after 45 mins had accumulated piles to be proud of.

We then headed home with a pit stop on the bridge of pain for some mexican wave fun fitness and then finished off with birthday squats for Peteand Scarlet 🥳

Finally, we wished Ali a bon voyage as he heads back to France. Thanks for joining us and hope to see you again one day!🇫🇷

A gang of jolly Goodgymers met at the Poppleton centre for a spot of exercise in the summer sun

We had three group - long and fast, medium and steady and the slow walkers.

We arrived back and were rewarded with delicious pizza and good chat

where shall we go next?

A good day weather wise for all to enjoy the fun and focus on all communities, health and wellbeing. The Good gym stand had seen a steady stream of people and thanks to all that manned the stand during the day. The evening task in the warm sun was basically the opposite of setting up but very quickly the GG volunteers that turned up late on with the all the rest of the volunteers and organisers had made light work of the Gazebos .....

The third visit to Mr J and Pete and Catherine got quickly into the swing. Having known what needed keeping and what needed binning we both got to work on separate boxes and we were soon through a lot of his stuff. Time to reminisce we kept the personal stuff and binned all the stuff we all collect over the years. Mr J greatly appreciated the help and was made up to finally find the passport and other bits of great sentimental value
