Some say a mens best friend is a dog and we say Yorks best friend for a charitable clean up is GoodGym.

A pack of GoodGymers assembled on a Sunday afternoon to help York Museums Trust clear up after a dog show.

The team worked together to make sure the clear down went with out a hitch and their task leader Neil advised them all he was the lead after the task was complete by thanking them for their hard work and efforts. His wife Vicky had earlier got the team going and supported her husband well with the lead.

All gazebos were safely taken down with no cocked legs in sight and many happy faces on the stall holders. A dog agility course was dismantled and an agile GoodGym team carried it over a rocky wall and down a small hill to its waiting van for transport.

Some hay bails proved to be heavier than expected to carry across the site and also very itchy to the skin a few minutes after putting them down.

The task finished with cart and trailer movement by the GoodGymers assisting the stall holders and then posing for the team photo with obligatory pose.

Another task complete and another positive day for dogs, people, museum gardens and our trusty GoodGym team.

A goodly size group of GG Yorkies met at the new St Leonard's Hospice donation centre at Clifton Moor. After a short induction and tour we split into two teams of four. Half of the group hung, priced and put out clothes in the £1 clearance shop whilst the other half sorted kids' and ladies' clothes into summer and winter. We had a quick tea break half way through and in no time our two hours was up. We'd got a lot of stock into the shop and sorted many crates in the warehouse which will be a big help.
