An excellent evening after some heavy rain, GoodGymers took to the heath once more to pull bracken. We went to the same spot as last year and could see that the bracken had not grown back as strongly, so we got pulling.

A big space became clear and lots of heath was re-exposed, so much so that insects and dragonflies immediately swooped in as we were clearing to get to the nectar in the plants that were previously obscured.

Other highlights were a flying visit from GoodGymer Ian as he ran past our spot and seeing a hornet’s nest thriving in an dead tree, which made groundskeeper Will very happy to see.

357 people arrived on what was a cool morning in AUGUST or was it OCTOBER who knows! we certainly did once 9am start was underway and the heavens opened. Umbrellas up to protect us Timekeepers and then I had to get on my jacket and hat as it was very cool. Everyone made it round and again no Coffee shack so no socialising straight home

Wow exactly 400 people attending today including Goodgymers Emily, Brad & Alina who was sporting the green of the 250 run t shirt. It was very windy, but hot, not ideal for running/walking/jogging around this Park Well done everyone

This week marked 8 years of GoodGym Norwich.

During those 8 years we have completed 8,411 good deeds by 469 different people, and have actively traveled nearly 155,000 km. 53 GoodGymers have completed 50x good deeds and 25 GoodGymers have completed 100x good deeds.

Tonight was also Stephen Knock's 50th good deed!!

Our task to Sue Lambert Trust was canceled last minute, so we did a bit of a littler pick around the Norwich Cathedral grounds, then nestled there for a picnic on a glorious summer evening.

Here's to the next 8 years!
