Cutting back vegetation and hedgerow planting at Holgate Dock

Welcome 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 the Holgate Dock, a small grassed area near the Volunteer Arms, to help the council's eco team manage the hedgerows

THE TASK

⚠️ it will be dark so please wear a headtorch. We'll also be using tools so make sure you bring some gardening gloves if you have them.

WHERE WE MEET 🎒

We will be meeting outside the Ackhorne Pub on St Martin’s Lane, YO1 6LR (just off Micklegate). We can leave our bags and valuables 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?
