Thursday 11th January
Report written by York runner
On a chilly, overcast Thursday, 3 Goodgymers met to do some litter picking at Chapmans Pond. They say there are fish in the pond, but all we caught was one (intact!) tent. Other items of note included four dinner forks in mint condition. Satisfied with our haul, we retired to a nearby cafe to warm up with some tea and cake. We also ticked off a few January bingo squares - litter pick, good deed in daylight, selfie of getting fit whilst doing good, and popping along to Planet Food to nab more than one good deed in a day.
The Friends of Chapmans Pond hold a lease to manage the pond and open space on behalf of City Of York Council. Volunteers oversee the angling activities on the site and are responsible for the maintenance and enhancement of the green open space.
