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!

And so to team tidy up at the Mela. New recruits joined Vicky and Jenna to pack it all away. There were no signs of flagging in the afternoon heat, with Vicky now the gazebo queen! The team dismantled gazebos, stacked away tables and chairs - and a random goose, carried gear to the car park and collected in the flags. Pete- our international man of mystery was breast of the situation! The Mela saw ten thousand visitors today. Bravo!

On a beautiful sunny day, Amy and Vicky were met by Mel from CYC for a wander around King's meadow for a litter pick.

There wasn't too much around do in 45 mins we'd cleaned the area. Amy was rewarded with her very own litter picker as she'd done such a good job!

A group of 14 Goodgymers took to the streets of York for a morning of mobility mayhem to test drive scooters for shopmobility York, who rent them out from Coppergate Car Park.

After mastering the controls and speeds with a short practice in the car park their first obstacle to overcome came in the form of reverse parking into the lift, which once completed would give them access to the city streets beckoning below.

As all great Goodgym tasks do, this one came with responsibility and the need for strong teamwork along with some minor danger. The team excelled in navigating the city, it's visitors and testing various shops access and ability to welcome customers on scooters. With one-way systems and stacked displays no harm came and the test was a great success with all that scooted out came back with battery levels still holding charge.

After a scooter wash and some tea and biscuits for refreshments after, the mission was a success and the team left counting down the days to the next opportunity to paint the town red.

We had the final session of helping prepare the beds at Holgate Community garden ready for planting at the April community gardening together session. Amy and Laura finished weeding the long bed while David dug the compost added on Monday into the raised beds. We were joined by a member of the Community Garden group and a local family. It was great to see the daffodils starting to come out as well as the snowdrops.
