Friday 4th July

Written by York runner

Four goodgymers met on Friday afternoon to set up the book sale and celebrate Nikki's 400th good deed! This comes shortly after another significant event involving the number 4 and we found an appropriate book for others who might have reached the same worthy milestone. Happy birthday to everyone celebrating this month!

That rhyme alone was enough to convince us that it actually belonged... in the children's section.

Thursday 13th February

Written by York runner

Another session helping Tang Hall Library raise some funds! While setting up the book sale, Amy appreciated some wise advice on How to Get your Teacher Ready for School, while Joanna found some Sweet treats and Jenna fell Hook, Line and Singer for a tuneful tome. Not sure what Lucy was thinking though...
