How to do good...

Thursday 22nd October

Written by York runner

... perhaps by joining Goodgym? Two of us went along to help out at Tang Hall Library this month, getting the books out ready for the half-term holiday. We were delighted to discover a book entitled "How to do good", although neither of us bought it - since we already have the answer!

I arrived just about on time (!) to find that our expert team of book sorters had already made a great start with setting up the Tang Hall Library book sale. Cecile took advantage of a secret past in the book trade to bring order to the table - great to have you at Goodgym for the first time! It was also the first book sorting task for Becky, so with Rebecca the four of us had everything set up in no time at all, ready for the library to raise more valuable funds.

Just the two of us setting up the book sale at Tang Hall Library this time, and slightly earlier in the day than usual. What a hive of activity! Great to lend a hand setting up this regular event to raise money for this community hub.

Three booketeers

Thursday 21st May

Written by York runner

Only three of us setting up the book sale tonight, but we were pretty speedy and only briefly distracted by the books themselves - the tense but ultimately heartwarming story of the Runaway Pea was Nikki's choice, while James got stuck into a mammoth autobiography of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Lucy went for the apt But excuse me that is my book. Another sale set up to raise valuable funds for Tang Hall Library!

All Book Up

Thursday 30th April

Written by Lyndsey Hay (She/her)

Good Gymers put on their Blue Suede (running) Shoes and headed down to The Burnholme Centre to help sort books for a sale the following day. This task took place in a library, so there was A Little Less Conversation than usual, but we were sustained by our Burning Love of literature. Lucy led the way, a Hard Headed Woman determined to get the job done. How we managed to cram that many books onto the table we'll never know - they just Can't Help Falling over sometimes. Task done, we headed home, with several newly purchased books tucked into bags and bike baskets - we shan't be Lonesome Tonight.
