This Sunday 2 GoodGymer's attended the Magdalene Group's fundraising and awareness event, being hosted at Bishops House & Gardens.
It was a busy afternoon and the list of tasks kept the volunteers very busy...
Firstly on refreshments duty - serving tea, coffee and cake, then refilling the milk jugs, urns, water jugs and teapots. Washing and drying up all of the plates, cups, saucers, cutlery and milk jugs, and dealing with all the payments.
Next it was manning the book & craft stalls - selling donated books and taking payments.
Finally onto tidying up - clearing away tables, collecting used plates, cups and saucers. Packing away the folded tables, putting away the crockery and packing up the all the tea, coffee and cakes!
As the organisers put it 'they couldn’t have done it without us'! Shout out to Dré attending her first session. Really great effort well done.

Tonight 8 GoodGymer's joined 13 residents at Alfred Nichol Court for a Quiz Night!
While running 6km to the venue on a warm evening, we found a man lying on the floor, so we stopped to check he was ok and helped him onto his feet.
After arriving we split into 3 teams to test our knowledge of Geography, Cuisine, Famous Faces & Movie One-liners. Stopping for a break halfway for tea & biscuits.
Once the results were in, we announced the winning team - 'All the gear, no-eye-deer'! Taking home the winning prize, a scented candle!
It was a great evening bringing local residents together. Hopefully we will be back for another social evening in a few months time.

A lovely day for some cutting back of shrubs. Not quite beautiful topiary, but I was proud of my work.
I, yet again, forgot to take pictures, so here's Madge.

It was a tropical day in Norwich, and we had to switch tasks at the last minute!
Thankfully Wild Lakenham came to our rescue, meeting us at the top of Lakenham Way with litter pickers and bin bags.
From there, 4 GoodGymer's walked and talked the full length of the path - 3km in total. After 1 hour we had filled an extra large bag with various items of rubbish.
Shout out to Maria who attended her first group run, as a professional wrestler she had no trouble tackling any trash.
