Being Prepared to Scout for More Good Deeds

York Report written by Laura Barrett

As it was the festival of Holi we started by saying something colourful that makes us smile as we named and numbered off. With Laura leading, Stef backmarking and Pete keeping track in the middle we ran 2k to St Chad's Scout Hut. We had been prewarned that we couldn't do the painting part of the task which we discovered on arrival was due to a toilet falling off the wall! However there was an abundance of gardening tasks to complete. We were given a tour of the gardens and shown the tasks before setting at them with loppers, secateurs, saws and wheelbarrows.

Ed and Abigail stripped the dead leaves off the palm trees while Pete, Nikki, Max and Stef got sawing. Unfortunately Pete was a bit overenthusiastic with his saw and caught his leg causing the first aid kit to make an outing.

Lyndsey and Leanne did an incredibly neat job of pruning a hedge and everyone else got to work cutting back brambles.

Afterwards we did a twist on our pairs alternate running game with the challenge of swapping with a different person each time with the non runner picking a new way of moving each time they returned. We then headed back to base for stretching and cake courtesy y of Lyndsey.

Bark life

York Report written by York runner

Rowntree Park has recently reopened after flooding and everyone is hard at work to tidy up the damage. A big pile of bark chippings had been left blocking a main path through the park - a worrying prospect with the Easter holidays fast approaching! Luckily a hit squad of Friday lunchtime Goodgymers was available to shift the chippings to the storytelling circle and clear the path for park users. As a bonus, we also collected some cut logs, a few to add to the circle and others to provide habitat for woodland creatures. A lovely sunny task followed by a nice café break - a perfect end to the week.

the chair apparent tables for change

York Report written by Stefan Durkin

Jess is clearly going through a Tennessee Williams phase greeting us with "you want tables we got, chairs we got to, now get 'em stowed yer big palookas" so Michael & I did & were rewarded with a king's ransom in Coco pops cereal bars,the end.

An ex-seed-ingly good task

York Report written by Ed Woollard (He/Him)

We started tonight's group run by belatedly awarding our GoodGymer of the month accolade for February to the marvelous Nikki , who had continued her January exploits into Feb and been a shining example for other Task Forcers. Well done Nikki 👏

We also welcomed newcomer Sarah who was doing her first ever task tonight. Let's give her a big cheer 👋

A bit of daytime drama meant that our services were required elsewhere, so instead of going to Ashton Park, tonight's group run saw us head to Clarance Gardens for a spot of unsupervised wildflower seed spreading! Ed did his best to explain what was required of us, and with a few suggestions from the rest of the team, we soon decided on a system that saw everyone lining up a meter apart, with a few seed topper-uppers running between them all 🏃‍♀️ 🏃‍♂️

Babs seem to focus on quantity rather than quality and raced ahead of the rest of the line of seed spreaders, whereas Graham took a bit more time and care with his seeds and stamping. Let's see when they bloom who had the best technique!

With most people having whizzed through their seed portions in lightning quick time, we needed to fill the rest of the session with something or risk an early pub exodus. So Leanne led a congo/indian file stamping line to make sure that no spot was left un-stomped.

Before too long it was time for the fitness session and an opportunity to get to know each other a little better. The GGers ran in a circle (again led by Leanne) and made thier way into the middle for an exercise every time Ed called out something that they had done before. Unsurprisingly almost all GGers have baked a cake or planted a tree in their lifetime. Unfortunately we didn't uncover too many secret tattoos though!

Huge well done to everyone for a fab session. Next week it's off to St Chad's scout hut for a classic painting task!
