We had the pleasure of having ITV News joining us to do some filming at our session tonight, which was as tidy up at Greenfields Community Centre.
With the strong Norfolk accents well prepared, a couple of us were also interviewed for the cameras.
I'm not sure when it'll be aired but I will keep you all updated.
We also welcomed Jack to GoodGym Norwich, he's done a few deeds at other GG locations but this was his 1st in Norwich.
The task this evening was to cut back a load of overgrown spiky bushes, to make the centre look more presentable.
It was a challenging task but the team really got stuck in and did an incredible job of completing the job in hand.

We visited a site on Shipstone Road to help start a new community garden project.
Congratulations to Nicole for completing her 50th good deed!!!!
We made a great difference to the area - clearing an overgrown flower bed and clearing the pathways.
A local resident brought us out some chocolate at the end, which was an extremely kind gesture.

The rain didn't put us off helping to continue the amazing Mile X community garden project on Burges Road last night.
The tasks we had to do were leveling out and laying down a wooden border for a new accessible path, while half of the group weeded another area.
It was my first visit there for a while, so it was great to see the progress been made from local volunteers and GoodGym.
We soaked to the bone by time we finished but it was well worth it.

Tonight 13 GoodGymer's ran or cycled 6km to Burges Road Community Garden.
The list of tasks to complete this evening were sieving soil, planting tomatoes, reshaping and digging a path, and raking soil to level out the new raised beds.
There was a lot of raking involved In order to make the raised beds level, we even used a spirit level to make sure we were doing an accurate job!
But the transformation in 1 hour was fantastic, with a new path dug out ready for the team of engineers arriving next month.
If I had to pick a soundtrack to tonight, it would be 'This Garden' by the Levellers.
Well done team on the hottest day of the year!!
