Outdoors on a misty evening with GoodGym - was how task force member Woody chose to celebrate his birthday!
At Greenfields Community Centre,there was a lot of weeding & leaves to be swept up. 8 GoodGymer's stuck to the task despite the cool damp weather.
With brooms & rakes we tidied up the garden area around the building, and picked up piles of leaves into 12 bin bags. This is an annual task request we have become very familiar with - and photos of before & after showing the size of the job!
All that was left was to wish Woody a Happy Birthday before we completed the 5km run / cycle home.

It was Quiz Night at Alfred Nichols Ct in Norwich.
There are limited activities or events available at this venue, so tonight's session gave local residents the opportunity to come together for a social evening.
With 14 GoodGymer's & 8 residents, we split into 4 teams, for rounds of London Facts, Marine life, Famous Faces & Music Intros! Shout out to Priscilla attending her first session.
Halfway through we stopped for refreshments - provided by Norwich City Council. And after a few contested answers... we announced the winning team this week 'Untold Stories'.
I'm pleased to learn it is in fact illegal to feed the birds in Trafalgar Square!
Well done everyone, we will aim to come back here soon.

Tonight 10 GoodGymer's headed to 35th Sea Scouts in Mousehold.
The original plan had been to spray paint tyres that would be used as planters. But with rain falling heavily during the day we decided to focus on the outdoor grounds instead.
The sun came out as we looked out over one of the best views of the city below us. The team spread out to pull up bracken that had sprung up amoungst the wild flowers and fennel. In an hour we had filled 15 bags and left them underneath the sheltered storage area.
It was great to be back here, and we hope to return when the venue is next available.

Tonight 9 GoodGymer's ran or cycled 4km to support St Matthew's Church. It was our first visit here, and the route included a jog up Gas Hill!
Once we arrived Reverend Patrick showed us the tools and asked if there were any 'Happy choppers'? Which at GoodGym the answer is always yes!
He directed us to the overgrown areas of the car park, and the borders in front of the church, and we got to work clearing weeds and brambles so that the entrance signs could be seen more clearly.
Also inside the church an Easter display needed dismantling, including a number of large stones to be carrier back into the garden. In no time at all, both tasks were completed with a sense of satisfaction comparing the before and after photos... We were also offered refreshments of tea & biscuits!
Shout outs to Francesca for completing her 10th task, and Emily reaching 100 Good Deeds!! Marvelous work everyone.

Tonight 10 GoodGymer's ran or cycled 6km to the Phoenix Community Centre.
It was a busy venue, we were working alongside kick boxing, drama classes and a choir rehearsal!
Our task was to continue painting the corridor, tidying up weeds and leaves and cleaning a children's play house outside.
We split into 2 groups to work indoors and out, whilst all the activities were taking place. In a hour, 4 walls were freshly painted and 3 bags of weeds were filled!
Shout out to Sai who attended her second task, in a smart new GoodGym t-shirt! Well done everyone.
