Getting our knickers in a twist
37 GoodGymers made their way 2.9km to help the Oxfam - Magdalen Street in Norwich.

We had our 2nd biggest turnout this evening with 37 GoodGymers hitting the streets of Norwich.
Amy C was completing her 25th good deed!
A thank you to Robert for being walk-leader, Catherine for being back runner and Helen E for being the photographer.
We were visiting the Oxfam Charity Shop tonight for a variety of tasks. Emma met us there and explained what they were, which included: cleaning the shop floor, putting new stock out on the shop floor, giving the kitchen a deep clean and taking books down on the conveyor belt into the pulping room. You'd think it would take some organising with a big group of people, but you'd be run as within a couple of minutes they were all split up and cracking on with all of these tasks.
It was quite an entertaining evening... check out the photos! Dave T styling a feminine hat, me with my whopping mushroom and three of the girls fitting into one pair of knickers... a sight I'm still not sure what to make of haha.
After a good 40 minutes of hard work, which equated to an incredible 24 hours of volunteer time we finished up and headed back... but not straight back. Oh no, I'm not that kind! So it was a detour via Grapes Hill, which everyone put a sterling effort into. After that we did a quick sprint session in Chapelfield Gardens before returning to The Forum. The evening was finished up with some cakes Elizabeth brought along ahead of her 21st birthday on Thursday.
Next week we're doing a litter pick in aid of WWF Earth Hour.
