This week marked 8 years of GoodGym Norwich.

During those 8 years we have completed 8,411 good deeds by 469 different people, and have actively traveled nearly 155,000 km. 53 GoodGymers have completed 50x good deeds and 25 GoodGymers have completed 100x good deeds.

Tonight was also Stephen Knock's 50th good deed!!

Our task to Sue Lambert Trust was canceled last minute, so we did a bit of a littler pick around the Norwich Cathedral grounds, then nestled there for a picnic on a glorious summer evening.

Here's to the next 8 years!

There were only 4 of us (plus Leo), but we still managed to make a big impact and made the areas more accessible again.

Well done to the GoodGymers who helped cut and clear back at Catton Grove Community Centre.

It couldn't have been a more tranquil evening, as we visited Marlpit Community Gardens as the sun started to lower and the cattle grazing in the adjacent field.

We had a tough task on our hands as we started to make inroads to move a pile of bark to the other end of the gardens (about 200 metres away).

There were 7-8 wheelbarrows and it was a grueling task of shoveling the bark into the barrows and transporting them before unloading.

Liz discovered a Toad in the pile of bark, which was then safely transferred to the pond area.

On a bright evening, five runners met at the Forum and ran the two miles to Dell Rose Court old peoples home. Once we arrived, we started chatting to a couple of residents. Although the Easter quiz sheets were put out, it was decided that the residents weren’t quite feeling in the mood for the Easter quiz so instead we set about the gardening tasks in the enclosed courtyard. We spent the session watering the plants, doing some weeding and generally tidying and sprucing up the area for the residents to enjoy. After a short while more residents popped down and Maddy and Woody spent the remainder of the time in conversation with the residents making it a positive evening. Woody was especially helpful lending some DIY expertise in fixing a bird feeder. We left Dell Rose feeling that the evening was successful and that next time maybe we would get to do the quiz!!! A good run back in good spirits to the Forum was then had.
