We last visited Norwich Farmshare back in 2017, before they relocated to Whitlingham, so it was great to visit them again.
They have such a large area of produce growing.
Our task for the morning was to lay some Mulch on a long vegetable patch, which was followed by laying down Wood Chippings either side as paths to access the vegetable patch.
A thoroughly enjoyable morning was had.

After a long overdue visit, we went to Aslake Community Growers, one of the community groups we've visited since we started in 2017.
There was a good turn out and Mike was pleasantly surprised how many of us there were.
The tasks for the evening were to transport compost to spread over some new vegetable patches, and then to clear out several vegetable patches from last year, so that they can be reused.
Rachel found what she thought was an egg... happened to turn out to be the world's smallest potato. Not liking to waster things, Kathryn took it home to cook with her other much larger potato.
It was a fun task with great before and after photos. I've already booked in the next visit for June.

This week's Group Run was a visit to Hayden Court retirement home to play some sports games with some of their tenants.
We started with some Foam Frisbee as a warm up, followed by Boccia and New Age Kurling.
I guess I have to mention after a 3-3 draw in Boccia, the red team won New Age Kurling 4-2.
The tenants really appreciated our company and it was a really fun evening.
Well done to Sam who has now completed 10 good deeds.

We had our biggest turn out since pre-covid with a whopping 25 GoodGymers opting to help sort out donations at the Norwich Foodbank.
This was bolstered by 8 people experiencing their 1st (of many hopefully) good deeds with GoodGym, so a massive welcome to Ruth, Jess, Harriet, Claudia, Amber, Claire, Jennifer B and Stephen K.
For those that decided to meet at The Forum first, we had a 3.5km each way jog to the task, with Jen J kindly being the backrunner.
Keith (warehouse manager) soon split us up into small groups of various tasks, which included weighing crates and sorting through golden syrup donations and putting them in date order.
25 people helping out for 50 minutes nearly equated to nearly 24 volunteering hours, just incredible!
At the end we surprised Elizabeth with her Sean Coxhead award trophy.
Next week we're having a games night with tenants at Hayden Court Retirement Home.
