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.

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!

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.

Alina done 100 good deeds with GoodGym.
Alina has just reached another level: 100 good deeds with GoodGym. That's at least 100 times when they could have easily done something easier. But they didn't, Alina has kept going and going. Helping a lot of other people and getting a bit fitter at the same time. Congratulations Alina.

Tonight was all about Alina, who was completing her 100th deed with GoodGym, what an achievement! Congratulations Alina.
The task tonight was our first ever visit to Magdalen Medical Practice, to give their garden a good clear over.
As you can see from the photos, the team of GoodGymers had to work had and did a grand job.

We visited Mousehold Heath again. A new task this time (before the Bracken pulling commences in the summer), which was pulling up self-seeded Birch trees amongst areas of the heath where they don't want then to be growing.
It sounds crazy but we must have pulled out well over 100 of them! They have been temporarily been replanted in another area of the heath before they find new homes.

We visited Wensum Park again to continue the work we started last week.
We finished clearing the 12 star sign flower beds. Some needed old roots digging out, lavender cut back, stones removing and some just a complete turnover of the soil.
They are now pretty much ready to be planted.
Well done everyone, we'll have to return later in the year to see how it has flourished over the summer.
