It was decided to have the meeting point at The Forum to collect postcards socially distanced and to have a well known meeting point for any new members of which there were three! A warm welcome to Libby, Hannah and Katie for their first GoodGym session.

Stephen and Robert collected their postcards each and went off on their run, followed by Andy and Ralph and then Libby, Hannah and Katie who set off to their destination.

Unfortunately one runner was unable to make it, but whilst waiting incase of arrival, Steve was able to complete 500 metre laps around The Forum to make up 5k.

Andy's bike had a damaged wheel and had to be parked up before the delivery of cards. Upon return the area was closed due to a major police incident and the bike was in the exclusion zone. A fireman later came to the rescue and allowed Andy to collect the bike. Phew!

It was another great mission, delivering a few hundred postcards and getting to experience different parts of the city as well as different gate and letter box designs.

Pun credit goes to Andy, due to a lovely collection of light up Flamingos in somebodies garden.

Fine City Neighbours
Encouraging neighbourliness and social solidarity in Norwich

Fine City Neighbours is a campaign to inspire Norwich residents to build relationships with their neighbours. The aim is to help build informal neighbourhood groups during the pandemic and celebrate those that came about during the last lockdown and those that existed beforehand. This is a project about deepening the fabric of social solidarity for the COVID recovery and beyond. We are producing a website and a postcard to be delivered to houses across the city. The materials we produce will provide advice, guidance and inspiration for street level community building as well as links to more direct support. Fine City Neighbours is about building relationships with people before you need them and they need you.
