York Report written by Vicky Hearson (she/her)
What better way to spend an evening than swapping trowels for bowls and heading to the bowling green for an evening of competitive fun!
There were some impressive deliveries, a few questionable ones and plenty of good sportsmanship — all washed down with a few beers! 🎳🍺
Once everyone had worked up an appetite, it was time for a buffet, which was very kindly laid on by Lynne at the club, followed by an all-important selection of cakes. Because no GoodGym social is complete without cake!
Then came the Yorkshire quiz, testing our knowledge of everything from Yorkshire traditions to local legends. We now all know how big our Yorkshire Puddings should be!
A brilliant evening of bowls, beer, buffet, cake and Yorkshire trivia — GoodGym definitely knows how to roll out a summer social! 💚

Five Goodgymers met to tackle the jungle of Escrick station in an attempt to make it usable once again as a picnic site. After hearing a bit about the history of the site - originally a station on the London line constructed for the exclusive use of the local landowner - and the long struggle to incorporate it once again into the Solar System cycle path, we got to work hacking back the brambles, getting a fair few scratches on the way. We haven't quite managed to restore it yet to its former glory, but if you are passing and in need of somewhere to perch while eating a sandwich, it'll do the trick.
