Happy Choppers

Monday 13th April

Written by Ian Gostling

Tonight 9 GoodGymer's ran or cycled 4km to support St Matthew's Church. It was our first visit here, and the route included a jog up Gas Hill!

Once we arrived Reverend Patrick showed us the tools and asked if there were any 'Happy choppers'? Which at GoodGym the answer is always yes!

He directed us to the overgrown areas of the car park, and the borders in front of the church, and we got to work clearing weeds and brambles so that the entrance signs could be seen more clearly.

Also inside the church an Easter display needed dismantling, including a number of large stones to be carrier back into the garden. In no time at all, both tasks were completed with a sense of satisfaction comparing the before and after photos... We were also offered refreshments of tea & biscuits!

Shout outs to Francesca for completing her 10th task, and Emily reaching 100 Good Deeds!! Marvelous work everyone.

Eggcellent Answer!

Tuesday 7th April

Written by Ian Gostling

Tonight we returned to Alfred Nichols Court, running 6km for an Easter Quiz!

This session was organsied as a way to bring local residents together in the communal hall, which is often unused.

The 7 GoodGymer's and 10 residents split into 3 teams to test knowledge of history, Easter facts, pictures & music trivia. We stopped half way to share refreshments provided by Norwich City Council.

The winning team named 'Divorced, Beheaded, Died, Divorced, Beheaded, Survived' took the prize of Easter Eggs & Malteaser's!

It was a really fun evening, with residents already looking forward to having us back.

Sheer hedge attack

Tuesday 31st March

Written by Woody

A cloudy day for a task, but not too rainy and quite nice to work in.

I visited Mrs J and was asked if I could help shape some hedges, back to a dome shape which was quite pleasing to look at, alongside some other tasks beginning to clear some Ivy that has taken over Mrs J's back garden. Finally a bit of tidying up.

It was a fun task to do, but there's a lot more Ivy to tackle yet!
