Seven GoodGymmers met at the Forum on a damp and cold Monday evening! We always have a good warm up and Steven puts us through our paces, this time we did some shuttle runs through Norwich's mesmeric light tunnel. Not wishing to be late however we set off into the good night running as a group to Eaton Park. Bobby was back runner. No-one gets left behind! We arrived in good time and met the rest of the gang, ten of us in total. However the organiser briefly threw a curveball by getting us to head to the bandstand to pick up tools - brooms and hand spades where we were met by a drummer band from Extinction Rebellion. Running back to the community centre we promptly set about sweeping the leaves and weeding between the cracks. We bustled around getting the job done in decent time. The place looked cleaner and significantly cleaner! After we collected half a dozen bags of leaves we emptied these out in the nearby woodland copse creating neat habitat piles for hibernating hedgehogs. We ran back to the bandstand to the beat of the drums - Steven's dancing did not however impress upon the group too much!! As we said goodbye to those not returning to the Forum. The gang headed back head torches blazing deep in to the winter evening.
