Willow cutting, weaving and fence painting
Help maintain the school learning environment

Date and time
18:15 - 20:00Welcome to GoodGym York 🙌
🏃♀️🏃We're a friendly and social group who combine exercise with helping out in the local community. Every Monday evening we meet to get active and do a physical task to help the charities or community organisations in our city.
TONIGHT🌳 We’ll be heading to Park Grove Primary Academy to cut back the williow then weave it onto the willow dome. Other jobs will include painting if dry!
THE TASK ⚠️ We'll be using hand tools, so please bring gardening gloves if you have them. It'll also be dark so bring a head torch. Don't worry if you haven't got one as we often have spares.
WHERE WE MEET 🎒
From January 2026 we will be meeting outside the Ackhorne Pub on St Martin’s Lane, YO1 6LR (just off Micklegate) . We can leave our bits and bobs in their office, which is secure.
🚲There is cycle parking nearby on both Micklegate and at the Priory Street Centre (as you approach the centre a 10 bay covered cycle parking is to the left in the car park) On street parking is available on Priory Street. These are all only a couple of minutes walk to the new meeting point.
RUNNING AND WALKING WITH US 👏GoodGym is for everyone. We welcome runners of all abilities. If you prefer to walk let us know and we can arrange a walking group.
👍We always have a back-marker too so nobody will get left behind - no matter what your pace is.
POST-RUN SOCIAL 🍻 We will finish the group session back at The Ackhorne Pub on St Martin's Lane so why not stay for some liquid refreshment and a good chat?

You will be able to join a group walking to the task if you'd prefer not to run.
Options are available to run between 4km and 4km in total
Remember that we run/walk to and from the task, so you'll only be running/walking for half this distance in one go.
