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!!

Tonight 7 GoodGymer's & 16 residents joined in Summer Quiz at Edmund Bacon Court.

We split up into 4 teams, to tackle 4 rounds of questions on 'Summer', 'Trivia', 'Pictures' & 'Who am ?' - the birth names of famous artists!

We took a break halfway through for teas and biscuits, while discussing any contentious marking!

It was a tight contest, with 2 teams tied in second place... but the winning team the week was the Misfits! Each member took home a bar of chocolate.

A really fun evening, and a great opportunity for people of all ages to chat and socialise. Thanks once again to Dawn and the residents for having us. We will be back!

Tonight 10 GoodGymer's headed to 35th Sea Scouts in Mousehold.

The original plan had been to spray paint tyres that would be used as planters. But with rain falling heavily during the day we decided to focus on the outdoor grounds instead.

The sun came out as we looked out over one of the best views of the city below us. The team spread out to pull up bracken that had sprung up amoungst the wild flowers and fennel. In an hour we had filled 15 bags and left them underneath the sheltered storage area.

It was great to be back here, and we hope to return when the venue is next available.
