Tonight we headed to the beautiful Marlpit Community Garden. 9 GoodGymer's ran, walked or cycled along the traffic free Marriotts Way.

The large volunteer-led community garden, with orchard and allotments, had recently been mowed. So we began raking up the dried grass into large piles that will be used as mulch for the fruit trees. Its amazing what we can do in an hour! There was also time to transport flatpacked cardboard to the far end of the site using wheelbarrows.

Well done to first timers, Jordan, Ben and Andy. Hopefully we will be back at this lovely venue in the near future.

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!

A super quick mission helping Mrs. L get some bulky waste to the pavement for a collection tomorrow morning, Mrs. L was very happy with the quick results.
