Four goodgymers met on Friday afternoon to set up the book sale and celebrate Nikki's 400th good deed! This comes shortly after another significant event involving the number 4 and we found an appropriate book for others who might have reached the same worthy milestone. Happy birthday to everyone celebrating this month!

This was a very different task. Instead of gardening gloves and wheelbarrows, we were trained up to use a ticket scanner and give out wristbands. We were both put on the gate for Premium and Access tickets holders, plus also funneling all those on the guest list. For 3 hours we met all the happy customers (except for 1 rowing couple) and sent them through to the magic inside the arena. As the evening went on the punters grew 'merrier' and more confused! One highlight was when a gang of lads with an air of an aging boy band, came looking for the guest list. As there was a queue, I chatted away to them about the delights of York. Turns out they were The Script, taking a break from their tour to Scarborough Spa! (Ask your kids!) Finally at 8.30pm we were given our premium passes and let loose on the bar, just in time for Nile Rogers and Chic. They did the exact same set as at Glastonbury IE Funktastic!

We got started in tidying the front garden. With a large assortment of tools we did some weeding, path scraping and litter picking.

A good start, but there is definitely more for GG to do!

No Ox but quite a few cows to be seen, although we had all met at the the Spotted Ox before the run. Although we had planned 3 different routes there were only 3 takers for the middle distance of 7.5k so we split into 2 groups. Vicky set off with her crew and all enjoyed a good run with only a slight deviation to cater for Niel who had dropped down from the mid distance to ensure no-one felt short changed. The others set off on their run in the opposite direction at a nice pace that allowed for plenty of chatting and allowing us to quiz Tristan about how he proposed and which of the multiple laps at endure recently completed by James were the worst. We all met back at the pub for nice grub, a drink or two and typical GG chat. Roll on the next one and thankyou all for coming out on a school day ... :-). Another successful evening out...

What a trolley good mission for Planet Food.. everything tidied away and neat :)

Another impressive turnout tonight for the forth installment of barrowing compost at West Bank Park, despite the very hot weather.

We started by saying our favourite hot thing and these included baths, tea, the sun, Pete's chocolate and Nick and Vick!

We also celebrated Rich's epic cycle ride in the peaks and James' 50 miles at endure, in their absence, plus Lucy's round sheffield run.

Top news of the night was undoubtedly Tristan's announcement that he proposed to Christine and she said yes!! Huge congratulations to a lovely couple. Tristan was also crowned goodgymer of the month for May!

We then set off with Barbara and Deb leading a walking group, Nick with the runners and Vicky with a cycling group.

We quickly got to work when we arrived and managed a fair few barrow loads despite the heat! Thankfully Christina brought water and the working areas were shaded.

To end we had a game if walking football- caps v non caps. Some walking styles were a bit questionable!

Another good Monday. Thank you guys!
