Mince pie or pudding anyone?

Sunday 10th December 2023

Written by Vicky Hearson (she/her)

Today the goodgym team came up trumps supporting the British Heart Foundation Chase the Pud.

They took on various roles - setting up, measuring out the course, registration, water station and marshalling.

We even had Rich as the mince pie and Ed, Amy and Max also donned the Mr Hearty costume in style.

The event had 200 runners, a huge increase from last year.

Thank you team, couldn't have done it without you!

The one that got away

Sunday 11th December 2022

Written by Vicky Hearson (she/her)

It was a very chilly start today but a hardy bunch of Goodgymers turned up and donned high viz and santa suits (and even a Mr Hearty costume) to support the annual BHF chase the pud. Some people marshalled, others ran and Leanne stood in as official photographer. This year the pudding was not caught so see you again next year to see if his title can be challenged again!

No puddings here, only speedy postmen!

Tuesday 16th November 2021

Written by Vicky Hearson (she/her)

A team of Goodgymers met at in Southbank to help deliver flyers to promote the British Heart Foundation's Chase the pud race. If anyone runs as swiftly as the flyers got posted the pudding will have no chance!

Thank you team!

No junk mail please!

Monday 4th January 2021

Written by Michal Czekajlo

Today we went to help our friends from the British Heart Foundation to deliver 1200 flyers promoting their new store at Clifton Moor

Rush saw us litter picking at the Rawcliffe P&R back in November and decided to join the club. Today was her first mission. *Give her a big cheer people! *

Welcomed by Daniel and his colleague from the British Heart Foundation we were handed delivery maps and piles of promotional flyers.

Do you accept CD's and DVD's - Ed

Ed took the opportunity to ask if his collection of CD's and DVD's would be welcomed by the new BHF store.

After the briefing we split up in pairs and went delivering. The weather wasn't on our side today, with rain turning to sleet. After about 45 minutes me and Lucy have finished our round and my fingers were freezing. Lucy jogged back home, which is on the other side of the town, to clock more km's towards the January Challenge and I went back to the meeting point to see if anyone brought back any undelivered flyers. Having finished their round, that was closest to the start location, Tom and Jackie were already waiting outside the Library. Soon after Max, Richard, Debs and Nicola turned up. Jenna, Rush, Ed and Amy went back home straight after delivery, with Ed and Amy visiting the wetpour removal task location (part of the Bingo thing that we are doing this month) on their way home.

Everyone made a significant contribution to the January Challenge distance and some Strava art has been created with Max calling his the 'stag with antlers'.

The planned opening of the new BHF shop on Clifton Moor may be delayed by the introduction of new restrictions, however local residents will have information handy in readiness for the opening.

All in all the mission was a success and a great occasion for a catch up before the lockdown no 3.

The weather outside is frightful but marshalls are so delightful

Sunday 8th December 2019

Written by Vicky Hearson (she/her)

A dedicated bunch of goodgymers braved the stormy weather to support this worthy cause

Laura and Amy were our tail walkers whilst everyone else was dotted around the 3k route cheering on Santas and our speedy pud. Despite the rather breezy conditions everyone did their job with enthusiasm and git everyone in the Christmas mood.

A special thanks from Murray chair of York branch, for your support

Leaflet to us

Tuesday 26th November 2019

Written by Vicky Hearson (she/her)

6 goodgymers met to bosh out the last of the chase the pud flyers. We split into two teams and jogged our way around Taddy Road estates. Lots of long drives so didn't quite finish but hopefully lots of people round York will know about this fun event!
