30 GoodGymers turned out on an ice cold evening to help out the Norwich Food Bank.

A big welcome to Helen, Elliott and Magdalene on their 1st GoodGym outings... the ITV News appearance last week has definitely been a good promotion.

Dave T and Ali were participating in their 10th good deeds.

We did a catch up from the weekends racing where several members took part in the Freethorpe 10-miler and Kevin B did an ultra marathon (48 miles!!!)

I did the warm up indoors, I'm pretty sure everyone said they enjoyed the wheelbarrow, or not ;-)

So off we headed to the Norwich Foodbank, Keith met us on arrival and soon had the team split into groups to target certain areas of donations in the warehouse, which included weighing new items, sorting through old Xmas items, transferring tins to stronger crates and sorting through other crates of donations.

As always, the group got stuck in and made the most of the space they had to use, getting in flow straight away.

Yet again we made a big contribution to a fantastic organisation, who really do value our support. A task well worth doing.

Katy led the group back to The Forum and we all finished with a nice stretch in the warm.

Check out the Group Runs page for any Community Missions taking place this weekend.

Next Monday we're visiting The Hamlet Charity.
