A great chance to help continue the good work from a week ago. 3 of us met on a chilly but sunny saturday and were quickly put to our paces revamping part of the border. A combination of digging, laying bricks and playing lego - just with much heavier bricks that didnt fit together quite so well. However, we were quite effective and quickly rebuilt the wall and back filled the soil. No NVQs for dry stone were awarded but the home made cake and tea was much more appreciated !

Another month, another book sale. The four of us made light work of the task tonight, finishing with a good twenty minutes to spare.
As the sale stock was lower than usual we had to get creative with our display, giving the collectors edition of the Da Vinci code a better chance to seduce passing library members and find itself a home.

Just two of us at Planet Food today, but we've got our routine down to a T! We missed Penny, but she's clearly done a great job ensuring everyone knows the tasks to accomplish this mission, even when she's away!

On a miserably wet evening our hardy Goodgymers’ spirit couldn’t be dampened.
We met and welcomed newcomer Katy and celebrated soooo many running achievements from the weekend. We also adorned Charlotte with the cape of good deeds for completing an amazing 100 deeds! You legend!
After naming and numbering off, whilst saying what our favourite item of clothing was, Claire set off with a walk/run group, Ed led the runners, and Vicky shot off ahead on her bike to make sure everything was ready.
We arrived in the Groves to be met by Tracy, who had sorted the newsletters into piles with laminated maps! Jen and Lucy were quick to volunteer for a digging task and everyone else got into threes to go and deliver the Groves newsletter in their allocated zones.
In what seemed like no time at all the groups started to trickle back to base and the diggers had successfully dug up a big stump. No time for fitness tonight - straight back to base. Tracy was very grateful for our help - she said it would have taken her a week!
Great work team GG!

As usual Goodgym was supporting the first Water Station on the Run for All Yorkshire Marathon and 10 mile (at mile 3). We arrived at 8 for the briefing before spending the net 45mins opening thousands of bottles ready for the runners. The marathon runners started coming through soon after 9:45 with the 10 mile runners from soon after 10:30. Despite getting squirted by some of the faster runners grabbing bottles at speed we didn't let the water dampen our spirits as we handed out water and opened bottles at speed for the next hour and a half. We get cleared up quickly ready for the trucks to collect the waste and tables, rescuing as much water as we could.
