We ran, cycled and walked 4km because tonight was Quiz Night at Edmund Bacon Court. Now a well established session, bringing 15 local residents & 9 GoodGymer's together for a social evening of head scratching and biscuits!
We split into 4 teams for a test of General Knowledge, 90s Trivia, Musicals & Famous Faces... with a stop for tea & biscuits halfway through.
Once the results were in, this weeks winners were 'Cheesy Chips!' Well done everyone. Shout out to Mary for attending her first GoodGym Session.

Tonight 9 GoodGymer's returned to Frere Road Community Centre to continue giving the exterior walls a fresh coat of paint.
Focusing on the front of the building we were given a new colour 'Cornish Cream' to brighten things up! Which led to the discussion - what do you spread on your scone first, cream or jam??
The dust sheets were laid out, and everyone spread out armed with rollers, brushes & step ladders for the hardest to reach areas. Woody also finished off the remaining white wall that we couldn't complete on our last visit.
Once we were finished it was time for a quick social and some birthday celebrations at the pub!
Thanks again to Claire for organising and cleaning all the tools for the task.

Tonight 5 GoodGymer's returned to Marlpit Community Garden, to support this volunteer run venue.
We began filling wheelbarrows with woodchip, transporting it to the back of the orchard to use as mulch for the fruit trees. Then on the way back we helped clear a pile of chopped wood, rubble and cardboard, carrying it to the central bonfire area. While this took up most of the evening, Liz & Jack were also able to give the herb garden a much needed trim.
The hour flew by and with the sun still shining we ran, cycled & walked back to the city. Well done team!

Our biggest group of the year - 19 GoodGymer's assembled at Oxfam store Magdalen Street.
Shout out's to Emma attending her first session, Maddy & Jack returning after a break, and Stephen who completed his 250th session!
In a scene similar to 60 Minute Makeover, Emily gave out the tasks for the evening (clean as much as possible) and the team spread out armed with hoovers, dusters, scrapers, tackling any surface that needed a clean. Even the toilet floors were given a thorough working over!
The floor downstairs was the main target, with dirt marks leaving a trail like foot prints - the big question was who was the culprit?
In a hour we had covered nearly every shelf, table and flooring, leaving the store looking transformed!
Well done team, it was a fantastic effort. Also best wishes to Jordan who moves north next month.

Andy is a now a fully fledged GoodGym runner. They've just run to do good for the first time. They are out there making amazing things happen and getting fit at the same time.

We ventured to a different part of the globe tonight - our first task at Globe Place in Norwich.
8 GoodGymer's walked and cycled to an area in the housing estate that had become very overgrown. Stephen, Sharon & Dawn from LTC Green Spacesmet us with a list of tasks and lots of tools.
We spread out into 2 areas, lopping, chopping, sweeping & scooping, filling wheelbarrows and trugs full of dried branches & weeds. The wheelbarrows were then taken to nearby Somerleyton Gardens (another popular GG task venue) where they will be used as mulch for some large raised beds.
Whilst this was all happening, Rose wandered back and forth carrying watering cans around the site giving everything a good soak... that was a lot of steps well done!
Shout out to Beth for attending her first session! An hour flew by and the difference we made was Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. Thanks Woody for tonights pun!
