Tonight 11 GoodGymer's ran 6km to support EACH charity store on Alysham Road.

On our first visit to this store, we were asked to help clear all Winter sale items from the shelves to make way for new Spring stock - but with a twist.

We each collected 10 sale items in matching sizes and placed them into bags so that they could be sold as £5 'mystery bags' in store. This created lots of fun, finding the correct sizes and choosing a variety of clothing.

After an hour 35 bags had been filled!

It was also Ian's 200th Good Deed this evening, so a few of us celebrated with Pizza at the end of the night!

360 people, a beautiful picturesque Catton Park, the sun coming out for the start were else to be on a Saturday morning. It was a Goodgym double of volunteering today with Susanna on her 100th and Steven on his 50th here at Catton. Well done everyone

No snow this week but the Catton lake was back, marshalled by Goodgym own Hitch. As Norwich Parkrun and a few others were cancelled we had a number of tourists joining us, but you definitely needed trail shoes for this course. Regulars were very pleased to see the lake back, some splashing through, others steering a wide berth around it. Much fun. Many Goodgymers attending, Alina, Emily, Ian, Rob R, Bobby, Ralph, Jonathan well done all.

2026 the first one of year saw 543 complete our chilly Parkrun including 8 very first timers. Lots of Goodgymers attending included Ian running his 200th parkrun, great achievement, Bobby, Liam (with Henry in his new buggy) another well done on this course, Alina, Roisin & Susanna. Keep up the attendance everyone

331 people mostly dressed for Christmas festivities ran/walked/jogged around a Misty catton park. It was quite difficult to see participants today. We had plenty of Santas, elves & Mr & Mrs Gingerbredto! Today our very own Goodgym activator Hitch was celebrating his 50th Parkrun volunteering, well done Steven.

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.
