On a rainy Friday morning, two GoodGymmers answered the call and headed to Mrs J's. The goal? Moving a double bed ready for council collection so that a new profiling bed can be brought in, allowing Mrs J to rest more safely and comfortably.

Despite some concerns based on our last attempted mission (where the furniture was a bit too large and the doorways a bit too small), we were able to quickly dismantle the divan bed and get the pieces placed ready for collection. Since we were done in record time, we stayed for a bit and enjoyed talking to Mrs J - we enjoyed a good coffee, and talked about all sorts including Mrs J's link to GG York legend Sean.

A great task, a great chat, and hopefully once the new bed is installed, Mrs J can have a great sleep.

Age UK ran their first 'Race the Boat' event in York. This was an over 50's race organised by our very own Carl Wain which entailed a race down the river to beat a York Boat. GG were invited to help with running this first event, hopefully in view of future races!

Mitch led a warm up before the boat gave three bellows of the horn. Time for the race to start! Our marshall's Charlotte, Dom and James were already in position, as well as our trusty timekeepers Rebecca, David and James, and finally Laura was prepped for time conversion and certificate writing.

After 20 minutes or so, and a smooth operation, the race was finished, with lots of happy runners excited to do it again next year.

Well done Carl, it was an amazing event.
