7 GG yorkies met at museum gardens to be reunited with the long lost Lionel who we promptly added to the register to make us a team of 8. It turned out Lionel was front runner for Prom King with multiple mentions from the Town Crier (who was doubling as compere) about his programme wielding skills.

The rest of us dispersed in pairs for 'general duties' which mostly included directing people to the toilets.

Jane and Leanne quickly realised that standing too near the toilets meant that they'd be confronted with lots of reports of things that weren't working, so moved away to do a litter pick around the gardens. This led to the opportunity for Jane to teach someone to open their rucksack... Meanwhile Becky helped a lady put up her camping chair while others got fit by helping people with heavy picnic baskets. Tracey was a little bit too pleased to report how much she annoyed people by asking them to follow the rules, but redeemed herself when she and Amy came to the rescue of someone who fell over.

Once everyone was through the gates, Elle set up her picnic blanket and provided a lovely spread for her fellow GGs to enjoy along with the show.

It was a warm evening, but lots of residents turned up for some gentle exercise. Our new game this week was balloon bingo, requiring careful score-keeping and a bit of effort from the Goodgymers to keep the balloons aloft against the breeze from the air conditioning! To cool down, we finished with a favourite challenge of hand-eye coordination, the basketball hoop.

Amy and Elle were back to planting marigolds between the crazy paving... and yes, once again the selfie was forgotten: sorry!

Four Goodgymers went along to our monthly games evening at Hartrigg Oaks, where we found the residents keen to join in with some exercise! After warming up with the parachute, we had a very lively game of balloon volleyball, featuring quick reactions, excellent teamwork and some exceptional slam dunks across the net. After all that activity, we cooled down with a more relaxing test of coordination and balance - the giant marble run. We look forward to seeing everyone again in June!

Lots of keen residents turned out for our monthly games session at Hartrigg Oaks - it was lovely to see everyone again! We started out with our favourite test of balance and hand-eye coordination - the giant marble run. Then we had a lively bowling match, bringing back good memories of past victories for some of the players. Finally, we gave our brains a workout as well as our bodies, trying to keep the giant balloon aloft while naming as many animals as we could think of!
