346 people out on a humid morning , running,jogging, walking Catton Parkrun. Lots of tourists and a few first timers, always good to see.

It was VERY warm even at 08.45 but still 11 juniors arrived for a Junior Parkrun. They were told to be extra careful participating in this heat. They did slowdown a little. I was lucky on marshal point 5 as I was under a shady tree, and the children enjoyed this shady part of the 2K course.
What’s my number?

Wow exactly 400 people attending today including Goodgymers Emily, Brad & Alina who was sporting the green of the 250 run t shirt. It was very windy, but hot, not ideal for running/walking/jogging around this Park Well done everyone
Make sure you pull it out

We had a great turnout for an evening of bracken pulling at Mousehold Heath.
It was a shock (but a very pleasant one) to see the return of Panda Dave, who was actually completing his 50th GoodGym deed!
Will the Warden took us to an area of the heath where the evasive bracken was preventing the heather from thriving. So our task was to clear as much bracken as possible, to allow the heather to breath and flower.
It never ceases to amaze me how much the team get done. We transformed the area we were working in.
Leo and Emrys (the GG Norwich mascots) also enjoyed the evening.
Time to get number checking

Goodgymers made a great team today. I was Timekeeper & Susanna was Number Checker, liaising together to make sure everyone gets their correct place & time. It was very warm with a bit of a breeze for us but quite tricky for running/waking/jogging. Very well done to you all
Happy 8th Birthday GoodGym Norwich

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!
