Getting there
For this session we're going to meet at the task, so you'll need to make your own way there. We encourage you to walk, run, or cycle to do so!
About this session
Welcome to GoodGym Newcastle
We're a friendly and social group that combines exercise with helping out local charities and community groups. Every Monday evening we meet to get active and do a physical task to make a difference in the Newcastle area. The GoodGym motto is 'Do Good, Get Fit'.
This task on October 24th
This is our first visit to Brian Roycroft Court. The task is to move soil and planters and to help tidy the place up. Please bring your gardening gloves if you have them. We'll have some to borrow, along with all of the other equipment needed.
Where we meet
We’ll be meeting at Brian Roycroft Court, Byker, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE6 1PT. Byker Metro Station is nearby as are the bus stops on Shields Road, Byker. Brian Roycroft Court is near both KFC and Morrisons in Byker.

Tyne Housing has asked to reschedule this session due to the high winds being forecast on Saturday afternoon. Sorry for the late notice. It’s highly likely we’ll be going ahead with it one Saturday in November instead.
