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.

15 young people chasing round the park today, enjoying the good weather. Goodgymer Stephen & I were on marshal points 3 & 4 at the bottom of the hill so were quite close & in view of the trains so plenty of waving to those travelling to London.

This morning 3 GoodGymer's cycled to the Green Hearts Allotment to help Lucy and Diem clear ground and pull up grasses to get it ready for planting.

Despite some rain we managed to achieve a fair amount. There were a couple of very young walnut tree saplings which were put into pots to be grown on.

Diem kindly provided delicious cake and coffee for us afterwards, as we took shelter from a downpour at the end of the task.
