It was a lovely warm evening this week as 4 GoodGymer's ran to Catton Grove Community Centre.

We were greeted as always by Linda with a set of tools. Our task was to clip, snip & weed all areas around the front of the building, access path and entrances.

We quickly got down to the task and after an hour, job done! GoodGym strikes again. We can’t wait to return later in the year.

366 people braving the searing weather 24 degrees at 08.30! Frankie & I welcomed 2 new Goodymers on their first Goodgym Mission. Well done see you again we were so busy helping our new recruits i forgot to take a photo!

3 hardy young people enjoying the great outdoors on a cooler morning than of late. well done young Jack still enjoying volunteering even though he has finished his DOE but still comes every week along with Dad Stephen, keeping the Goodgym spirit, a new recruit when you're older Jack

Despite some rain early this morning it was still hot at 08.15 when Frankie & i arrived for volunteering. Thank goodness most of the 274 people brought extra hydration with them. Alina, Emily, Brad & Stephen R were the Goodgymers finding their way around Catton while Frankie & I were on Token duty & wow it was hot!

GoodGym Norwich is 9! That's a whopping 9194 Good Deeds in 9 years!!

Tonight 16 GoodGymers ran and cycled to Mousehold Heath for a conservation task followed by a celebratory picnic!

With the sun shining, Will lead us to the area of the heath in need of some work. We got stuck in pulling up bracken, to allow other species of plants to grow, particularly heather. This helps to improve pollination and biodiversity.

In an hour we had cleared the area of bracken, with the difference before and after clearly visible! Shout out to Tondi who attended his first session.

Then it was time to party! With hot & cold drinks, blankets full of food and homemade treats, we stayed until there was little left over. We also had a chance to say thanks to Steven for leading this great group for 8 & a half years!!

4 young people racing each other day including a tourist from Gorelston juniors who is trying to reach 25 different junior parkruns, who enjoyed our course very much. liz was enjoying volunteering at Eatin juniors, Emily & Brad along with junior Fletch enjoyed Waterloo Park Juniors Volunteering on their 25th Parkrun Volunteer credit.
