Tonight 8 GoodGymer's joined 13 residents at Alfred Nichol Court for a Quiz Night!
While running 6km to the venue on a warm evening, we found a man lying on the floor, so we stopped to check he was ok and helped him onto his feet.
After arriving we split into 3 teams to test our knowledge of Geography, Cuisine, Famous Faces & Movie One-liners. Stopping for a break halfway for tea & biscuits.
Once the results were in, we announced the winning team - 'All the gear, no-eye-deer'! Taking home the winning prize, a scented candle!
It was a great evening bringing local residents together. Hopefully we will be back for another social evening in a few months time.

It was a tropical day in Norwich, and we had to switch tasks at the last minute!
Thankfully Wild Lakenham came to our rescue, meeting us at the top of Lakenham Way with litter pickers and bin bags.
From there, 4 GoodGymer's walked and talked the full length of the path - 3km in total. After 1 hour we had filled an extra large bag with various items of rubbish.
Shout out to Maria who attended her first group run, as a professional wrestler she had no trouble tackling any trash.

This task was helping Ms J with their overgrown garden that they couldn't tend to because of hayfever symptoms. I only had sheers so getting the grass cut was a challenge, but I manager to tidy up the borders and take the height down of all the weeds, I discovered a big frog doing the work, who I hope didn't feel too disturbed by the work, it was hopping around happily as I left.

This was the 3rd trip to Mr D, but it seems to have done the trick, the garden was overgrown with brambles and needed to be taken completely back as it has to be level for Mr D to talk on it. We made good progress with Mr D over the moon and neighbours admiring the garden too, there's more for Mr. D to do but he's happy with where we got too. The biggest spider I've ever seen in the UK was spotted during the work too!

On a bright Saturday morning, 6 GoodGymer's joined the Friends of Waterloo Park for a bit of shoveling.
Waterloo Park is an awarded Green Flag Park. This means it must maintain high quality standards, including excellent environmental management, biodiversity, and community involvement.
Every week, the work in the park collects large amounts of green waste that is left to dry out and compost. And today we were asked to shovel the branches and soil from the compost boxes into piles, which will be collected by the council for further recycling.
Together the 'Friends' and GoodGymer's completed the task within an hour, while observing snails, moths and other bugs.
We finished with a well earned brew and biscuits!

This will greatly improve the well-being of Mr D as they have multiple medical and mobility conditions/ learning difficulty which prevent them from doing this themselves

A huge impact on her mental health as she cannot complete any gardening due to hayfever and it will make her front entrance look much tidier for her.
