Tonight 10 GoodGymer's joined 14 residents at Edmund Bacon Court to battle it out in a Quiz night!

We ran or cycled 4km to the venue, split into 4 teams for 4 rounds of Trivia, Nature, Pictures & Music intros!

It was a close run contest with answers being debated and discussed, even while we stopped for a refreshment break of tea & biscuits halfway through.

By the end it all came down to a final tie breaker - and after some slight confusion on my part - Mark provided the quickest correct answer for the 'Grims' Team. Their team name was an acronym of the individual participants). And between them they shared the winning bars of chocolate!

Well done everyone, and thanks again for a fun evening!

Tonight 9 GoodGymer's ran 6km to support Norwich Foodbank.

We were sorting through food donations from Norwich City FC, unpacking boxes, filling up crates, labeling and arranging in piles in the warehouse.

Not put off by the cold weather, tonight was in fact Bill's 250th Good Deed! Well done on reaching this milestone!

The task was swiftly completed in 45 mins, and all boxes were empty which was a satisfying finish!

Tonight 10 GoodGymer’s ran 6km to Alfred Nichols Court. We joined eight residents for a Quiz Night featuring rounds on Norfolk knowledge, Famous Brits, Sport & Pictures.

Halfway through, we stopped for tea and biscuits supplied by Norwich City Council.

It was a great evening bringing local residents together vying for the prize of an assorted box of hot chocolate!

This week the winning team was aptly named - Running Away With It.. Well done team!

Tonight 7 GoodGymer's ran or cycled 5km to Greenfields Community Centre.

This venue is used by many local groups including a vital Baby Bank hub.

We were tasked with painting one of the rooms regularly used by the Baby Bank to donate much needed equipment & clothing to local families.

The room had long been a drab yellow colour, but within 1 hour it had a new frosted look (a bright shade of grey called 'Frosted Steel').

Shout out to Emily who attended her first session!

And happy 10th Birthday to Goodgym Lewisham group (where I attended their first session 10 years ago today)!

Tonight 13 GoodGymer's ran or cycled 4km to Edmund Bacon Court.

We were joined by 12 residents to host a Xmas singalong, our final group session of 2025.

In October we had planted trees in their garden, so tonight was an opportunity to meet some of the residents for the first time. Shout out to Rachel for her first GoodGym group session.

The song list tonight was full of favourites, fast and slow, with a breather for refreshments halfway through - thanks again for the festive snacks!

It was a truly jolly evening, finishing with a rousing rendition of the 12 Days of Christmas!

Thanks all for bringing your voices and good cheer. Merry Xmas folks.
