All the Goodgymers, so many Goodgymers, they all run hand in hand, weeding, sweeping & picking-litter... PARKLIFE!
27 GoodGymers made their way 6.0km to help the Eaton Park in Norwich.

Tonight was our quarterly visit to Eaton Park, which on a fine sunny evening is just simply breathtaking! Masses of greenery with people playing Football, Touch Rugby and Cricket in different areas of the park.
Freya was participating in her 1st GoodGym experience so a big welcome to the group :-)
Sophie was doing her 10th good deed (well 11th actually as I forgot to announce her 10th last week!).
We caught up on the races from the weekend with various folk taking part in the Henham Festival of Running and the Dereham 10-miler.
Darren also announced he's raised more than £1,500 in sponsorship for Cancer Research from running the London Marathon - what a fantastic effort!
Bill was backrunner this week and Katy led parts whilst I got caught chatting to people.
On arrival, Stuart greeted us and went through the jobs that needed doing, which included sweeping the pond area, weeding in the cafe area, weeding around the band stand and a litter pick around the perimeter of the park. We soon assembled into little groups and off into the evening sunshine.
Myself and Bill couldn't resist a little bit of tractor tyre flipping in the cafe area.
After we finished, Stuart kindly let us go up to the top of the band stand to admire the view of Eaton Park from higher up.
The evening was finished with a nice trip to the pub :-)
Next week we're visiting Marlpit Community Gardens.
