Help St Aelred’s School’s new wildlife area

Welcome to GoodGym York üôå

üèÉ‚Äç‚ôÄÔ∏èüèÉWe’re a friendly and social group who combine exercise with helping out in the local community. Every Monday we meet to get active and do a physical task to help the charities or community organisations in our city.

TONIGHT üå±We‚Äôre helping St. Aelred’s School tonight, continuing to clear an unused and unloved secluded area in the corner of the school field to create a forest school area. We’ll find out exactly what our task will be nearer the time but it’s normally fun, and great to see the changes each time we come!

For anyone meeting us there, we’ll be going in the Darnbrook Walk entrance to the school, off Penyghent Avenue.

THE TASK üߧ Don’t forget your gardening gloves!

WHERE WE MEET üéí We meet at the Priory Street Centre and our usual room is the Foxwood Room. As you approach the front of the Centre, turn right and go to the car park area. The room we use is locked whilst we’re out so you can leave your bits and bobs in there.

üö≤There is cycle parking as you approach the Centre and a 10 bay pay and display car park is available behind the nursery block, to the left as you approach front of the Centre. In addition, on street parking is available on Priory Street.

RUNNING AND WALKING WITH US üëèGoodGym is for everyone. We welcome runners of all abilities, we often have a run-walk group and if the task is close enough we have a walking group too. We often have people cycling to the task too, either meeting us at CVS to cycle together or meeting us at the task.

üëçWe always have a back-marker too so nobody will get left behind – no matter what your pace is.

POST-RUN SOCIAL üçªWe normally head to The Ackhorne Pub on St Martin’s Lane after our run for a spot of liquid refreshment and a good chat.
