We S-Mashed it!

Norwich Report written by Ian Gostling

Thanks Penny for the pun!

Tonight 12 GoodGymers ran and cycled 6km to the Norwich Foodbank run by the Trussel Trust.

At the task we split into 2 groups, to unwrap boxes full of donated supermarket items - shaving foam, rice pudding and instant Mash!

All the donations were packed into crates, labeled and piled up in different corners of the warehouse.

After 40 minutes and many crates filled, we were finished. Keith thanked us for our efforts and invited us to return for more packing.

Getting in the Grove at Catton

Norwich Report written by Katy

Well it's hard to imagine doing a Group Run in Norwich without our Run Leader Hitch being at the helm but even he's allowed to take holiday now and then (as long as he doesn't get too carried away) so instead the lovely Goodgymers had to cope with me being Run Leader for the evening! It was the first time I've had to lead a whole session so I found myself feeling a bit nervous beforehand, not wanting to mess up for everyone. I even made myself a crib sheet so I wouldn't forget any bits of the intro!

As there were no new runners this week, we went straight into marking milestones. Well done to Elliot for achieving his 10th Good deed.

We then took a moment to congratulate those taking part in races at the weekend. Several Goodgymers had battled the grotty weather the previous day to run the Norwich Half Marathon and David did a muddy run somewhere I keep forgetting which involved wearing a pink tutu! That man does like to dress up :)

A special shout out also goes to those Goodgymers who did a Community Mission volunteering at the Norwich Half in the pouring rain!

I then made sure I went through Hitch's Risk Assessment for the task - his instruction 'Don't wave your tools around!' brought much amusement, especially as we know that he always likes to keep his well tucked in when out with us!

We then went outside for a quick warm up session before heading off to the task. Bill kindly volunteered to be back runner.

After a 3km run to the Catton Grove Community Centre, we were met at the task by Linda who was well organised with all the equipment we might need to carry out the various tasks required and which involved litter picking, cutting back overgrown greenery, weeding the flower beds as well as the grooves in the brick weave paving. As usual the Goodgymers quickly got stuck into the tasks needed and after 30 minutes there was a massive mound of greenery and several bags of rubbish to show for it.

We then headed back to the Forum, stopping briefly for a photoshoot. No doubt everyone was relieved that there wasn't enough time to do any extra fitness session!

Hopefully normal service will be resumed next week, which will incidentally be Hitch's 100th Good Deed. We're looking forward to the celebrations!

Eggain, we didn't yolk around & made those hampers chocca

Norwich Report written by Steven Hitcham

Tonight's task involved a 9km round trip to Break Charity to pack some Easter Fundraising Hampers. A big thanks to Dave Tuthill for helping organise this one.

No new runners or milestones this week but plenty of GoodGymers either did the Ringland or Cambridge Half Marathons the day before with Brad and Michelle still coming out this evening. Both also got Half Marathon PB's round of applause.

Cheska was backrunner this week and Michelle on photo duties.

After the warm up inside The Forum, which caused mixed opinions ;-) as not everyone was keen on frog jumps and bear crawls we set off on our way.

On arrival a few GoodGymers met us there plus we picked Sophie up halfway. All of the items were set out along tables so we could get a production line on the go. One group were laying hay in the baskets, then they went along the line to have items added such as chocolate eggs (big and small), chocolate hens, bunny ears, a cuddly bunny (which Emily really wanted one of), tea towels, popcorn, a GoGoHare badge and Easter eggs.

We got 33-34 hampers packed in the time we were there. Each one will get sold for £80-£100. I think being able to nibble on some of the broken chocolate eggs helped us keep the tempo up.

It was then time to head back but it went really quickly after we were all chatting away to each other plus it was downhill most of the way back.

Next week we're visiting The Feed.
