One Happy Sunday seven psyched up Good Gymers attended the York Health and Arts Mela to promote Good Gym for its physical and mental health benefits. Pills and Thrills are all well and good, but here at Good Gym we believe there's nothing like a bit of exercise in a friendly social atmosphere to improve your well-being. We changed the line up a few times (creative differences), but Vicky was there throughout, keeping the vibe going like a regular Bez. We spotted a few Squirrels, and lots of 24 Hour Party People, including Margaret Wells, Lord Mayor of York. Jason Rose, one of the Councillors for Acomb Ward, also joined us, and raved to first place in our litter picking challenge. Other highlights included a giant chicken, Spiderman, and some unavoidable morris dancing.

A good day weather wise for all to enjoy the fun and focus on all communities, health and wellbeing. The Good gym stand had seen a steady stream of people and thanks to all that manned the stand during the day. The evening task in the warm sun was basically the opposite of setting up but very quickly the GG volunteers that turned up late on with the all the rest of the volunteers and organisers had made light work of the Gazebos .....

more gazebo erecting, moving tables and chairs and just been lovely and helpful

York Mela is ready to go!

We met in museum gardens in slightly damp conditions to help set up for the art and health Mela tomorrow.

Our main job was to erect many gazebos!

We'll be back tomorrow morning to help with moving tables, then goodgym will be at a stall all day
