👗 Dress to impress 🎩

Saturday 4th July

Written by Nicky Woodall (she/her)

👕 7 lovely GoodGymmers came to help at the clothes swap this month. Some of us came straight from parkrun, for our second volunteering stint of the day. Some came out of purely altruistic ambitions, answering the pleas that the clothes swap were short of their volunteers today. (Some may have had an additional alterior motive for some this month, in looking for an outfit suitable for a wedding (parkrun), lurking around the sparkly rail.) Success was had in both senses - we did lots of helping and outfits were found.

🍰 Vicky had both her work and GoodGym hats on today, selling some (delicious) cake to raise money for York Carers Trust.

⏰ The hour passed quickly and it was soon time to head off, safe in the knowledge that we've hopefully saved some clothes from landfill.

👏 Thank you everyone!

Swap in the name of love

Saturday 6th June

Written by James Tilburn

A ridiculously large turnout from GoodGym at the clothes swap this month with Pete making his first visit and Antonia making a welcome return. Good to see Issy back again as well.

The clothes swap volunteers were also there in force which meant we could enjoy a more relaxed morning than last month's chaos 😁

Lots of fun was had and Pete, Claire and me all walked away with outfits for upcoming festivities.

Swap skip and jump

Saturday 2nd May

Written by James Tilburn

Probably the busiest clothes swap ever with pretty much every resident of York coming through the doors meant that Issy had a baptism of fire on her first time at this task.

Both of us stayed all the way to the end, making sure things went smoothly and everything was put away at the end. There was barely time to stop for a drink but it was great fun as always.

Don't swap me now

Friday 1st May

Written by James Tilburn

Another fun evening setting up the clothes swap. It was great to welcome GoodGym tourist Rachel who joined us from GoodGym Sheffield and got stuck in like a veteran of this task. Unfortunately I forgot to take any pictures.

Job done we headed to the pub for a few well earned drinks.
