Our biggest group of the year - 19 GoodGymer's assembled at Oxfam store Magdalen Street.

Shout out's to Emma attending her first session, Maddy & Jack returning after a break, and Stephen who completed his 250th session!

In a scene similar to 60 Minute Makeover, Emily gave out the tasks for the evening (clean as much as possible) and the team spread out armed with hoovers, dusters, scrapers, tackling any surface that needed a clean. Even the toilet floors were given a thorough working over!

The floor downstairs was the main target, with dirt marks leaving a trail like foot prints - the big question was who was the culprit?

In a hour we had covered nearly every shelf, table and flooring, leaving the store looking transformed!

Well done team, it was a fantastic effort. Also best wishes to Jordan who moves north next month.

We ventured to a different part of the globe tonight - our first task at Globe Place in Norwich.

8 GoodGymer's walked and cycled to an area in the housing estate that had become very overgrown. Stephen, Sharon & Dawn from LTC Green Spacesmet us with a list of tasks and lots of tools.

We spread out into 2 areas, lopping, chopping, sweeping & scooping, filling wheelbarrows and trugs full of dried branches & weeds. The wheelbarrows were then taken to nearby Somerleyton Gardens (another popular GG task venue) where they will be used as mulch for some large raised beds.

Whilst this was all happening, Rose wandered back and forth carrying watering cans around the site giving everything a good soak... that was a lot of steps well done!

Shout out to Beth for attending her first session! An hour flew by and the difference we made was Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. Thanks Woody for tonights pun!

Mrs M is a spritely 92 and enjoys looking out over her garden but finds trimming the hedges and feeding the roses tricky so I popped over to help.

Tonight 5 GoodGymers ran or cycled to the beautiful Bowthorpe Community Garden.

We met Sally & Tim who kindly provided refreshments and nectarines! They had a list of tasks so we split into 2 groups.

One group dusted down 2 wooden benches before giving them a fresh coat of Red Cedar paint.

The second group cut back and pulled up thistles that were taking over the area, before filling wheelbarrows and taking the waste to compost.

With an hour nearly up, Woody finished painting the panels behind the benches, and Ian & Jordan filled two planters with 8 wheelbarrows of soil.

It was an impressive effort by all, and much appreciated by the community group.
