Let’s Get Quiz-ical

Monday 8th December

Written by Ian Gostling

Tonight 10 GoodGymer's ran 6km to join the residents at Alfred Nichol Close for a quiz evening!

It was our first visit to this venue, set up in collaboration with Norwich City Council, with the aim to provide a social event for local residents to bring people together and eliminate isolation.

When we arrived we met 14 residents in the communal building ready to take part in a quiz. We split into 3 teams to answer 4 rounds of 60s TV, movie & music trivia.

Halfway through we took a break for tea & cake, provided by the Get Together fund, giving an opportunity for us to get to know one another a bit more.

Once the final results were in, it was time to award Table 1 with the winning prize... a fancy mug and tea infuser!

Kudos to Bob completing his first Good Deed tonight!

The evening was a great success, with requests for GoodGym to return again in the new year!

(Don't) Stop The Cavalry

Saturday 6th December

Written by Woody

A combination of two tasks today at Moushold Heath, both very rewarding!

We cleared the gullies to expose the Roman road used by the local cavalry to march up to their Barracks. A job which was satisfying as we could see the results very easily.

Meanwhile another group tackled the final third of the Dutch Elm, cutting it back and disposing of it down the deep gully as per a few weeks ago.

All topped off with lovely refreshments at the end courtesy of Mousehold Warden Will.

We S-MASH-ED it!

Monday 17th November

Written by Ian Gostling

Tonight 12 GoodGymer's ran or cycled 6km to Norwich Foodbank to help pack donations.

It was a cold night so everyone kept busy by splitting into groups to form a GoodGym production line - beginning with unpacking boxes of mash & juice, placing the items in plastic crates, taking the crates to be weighed before piling up crates in a corner of the warehouse.

At the same time another group broke down the left over plastic and cardboard, and pushed it on trolley to the recycling area.

In the midst of it all we had Joshua attending his 1st Good Deed, and founding member Steven celebrating his 400th with a special balloon!!

After 45 minutes the task was complete so we headed out into the cold to return home.
