A plank in 69 then we kurled one out

Norwich Report written by Steven Hitcham

There was a plank involved and there was a 69 involved... so you better read this whole run report to see what on earth I'm talking about!

We started off by giving Frances a big welcome on her 1st GoodGym outing.

Several of tonight's GoodGymers completed the Valentine's 10km yesterday so we had a catch up on that with some achieving PB's - AMAZING!

Tonight's task was to visit Hayden Court Sheltered Housing Scheme to clean resident's cooker hoods and ovens as well as communal areas. This is the point you're probably getting a little disturbed at the thought of 69 coming into the equation?

We only has 1 mile each-way to do this evening, when we arrived, one of the residents, Joyce greeted us and had a list of the flat numbers that needed cleaning. We did groups of 4 for the 5 flats and then the rest targeted the communal areas.

It was a bit like an auction, I said the flat number and then those who wanted it put their hands up. 103, 79, 69, 59... so yes one of the flat numbers was 69, there were no inappropriate positions (apart from the plank).

Each group finished at different times and we regrouped in the communal lounge when finished. After the 1st 2-3 group had finished we did a plank challenge with the prize being the final chocolate brownie and the accolade when to Liz K for destroying the rest of us.

We then got the New Age Kurling set for a quick few games, with the Emerson sisters kurling one out against each other.

After all of that entertainment we headed back via Chapelfield Gardens for a quick sprint session before several of us embarked on a trip to the pub for some grub.

Next week is a longer run as we are visiting Redmayne View for a board games night with some soup. For anyone not wanting to run the whole distance you could meet us at the North Walsham Road roundabout on the ring road at 7pm.

We were Eaton cake after a good deed

Norwich Report written by Steven Hitcham

It was time for our quarterly visit to Eaton Park. This week we had a few cleaning tasks to do.

1) there was an old disused hut that needs to be brushed down and cleaned ready to be used as a cafe/coffee point in the summer 2) cleaning the benches around the mini railway line 3) cleaning some benches and welcome signs towards the play area

A big welcome to Maisie on her 1st GoodGym run.

Congratulations to Brad on completing his 25th good deed

After a warm-up (which was gate crashed by a member of the public - but to be fair she did some decent squats, same can't be said about her running haha), we embarked on the 3km trip to Eaton Park and thank you to Helen for being back runner.

The different tasks were then explained and the team split into groups, got themselves some gloves, buckets of warm water and clothes then headed across the park to crack on with making it look sparkling and appealing to users.

We won't mention when I tried to take a photo of the bench cleaning, that I didn't notice the slope and took a little tumble down it... shhh.

On arrival back at The Forum we sang happy birthday to Helen for Saturday and Catherine brought her older sister a cake... as well as goodies Helen brought so it was a win win situation at the end of the night!

Next week we're visiting Hayden Court.

The Foodbank was a crate task, you can bank on GoodGym helping out

Norwich Report written by Steven Hitcham

30 GoodGymers turned out on an ice cold evening to help out the Norwich Food Bank.

A big welcome to Helen, Elliott and Magdalene on their 1st GoodGym outings... the ITV News appearance last week has definitely been a good promotion.

Dave T and Ali were participating in their 10th good deeds.

We did a catch up from the weekends racing where several members took part in the Freethorpe 10-miler and Kevin B did an ultra marathon (48 miles!!!)

I did the warm up indoors, I'm pretty sure everyone said they enjoyed the wheelbarrow, or not ;-)

So off we headed to the Norwich Foodbank, Keith met us on arrival and soon had the team split into groups to target certain areas of donations in the warehouse, which included weighing new items, sorting through old Xmas items, transferring tins to stronger crates and sorting through other crates of donations.

As always, the group got stuck in and made the most of the space they had to use, getting in flow straight away.

Yet again we made a big contribution to a fantastic organisation, who really do value our support. A task well worth doing.

Katy led the group back to The Forum and we all finished with a nice stretch in the warm.

Check out the Group Runs page for any Community Missions taking place this weekend.

Next Monday we're visiting The Hamlet Charity.
