I chose not to choose life. I chose somethin' else. And the reasons? There are no reasons. Who needs reasons when you've got GoodGym.

An evening out in the countryside

Sat 8th Aug at 6:00pm
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! 💚

Saturday evening sunshine meant there was no better place to be than getting stuck into some GoodGym gardening!
Tonight’s mission was weeding and removing black plastic — a satisfying combination of pulling, clearing and uncovering what had been hiding underneath. The weeds didn’t stand a chance as we worked our way through the area, while the stubborn plastic put up a bit more of a fight!
With plenty of sunshine, teamwork and fresh air, we soon had the area looking much tidier. Who needs Saturday night fever when you’ve got Saturday night weeding fever? 🌱💪

Chief Herder James managed to get a pair of unruly runners across the Millennium Bridge and to Fulford in plenty of time for some much needed hydration at Elle's, before the Germany Beck litter-pick. The litter is really staying in check between these litter-pick sessions, so although a few bags were filled, areas that have been litter-picked in th past are looking a lot better. The GoodGym contingent then went on to the pub with some local neighbours to celebrate!

James, Soph and Elle got together on a Saturday afternoon to do some gardening at Southbanks' community raised beds. However, we lost James to a ladybug towards the end of the task, but he was back on form to wrap-up the hose and lead the team on a run to the next task in Fulford.

Three regulars GG volunteers at the clothes swap this month helped ensure another successful event with clothes sorted and hung, drinks served and everything out away in record time at the end.
Post-swap we had lunch with the rest of the team and enjoyed an afternoon of spa treatments that left us looking radiant. I've never left a GoodGym task smelling better 😁

Just the two of us tonight for this one but it was quality not quantity for Leanne's last GG task before she jets if to Africa to climb a big rock.
We made light work of the task and left the place with everything ready for the morning.
