4Goodgymers joined 23other volunteers supporting our own Stephen K who was Event Director today at Eaton Junior Parkrun. Following an energetic warm up 119 young people aged 4-14 made their way 2K around the park cheered on the way by all the volunteer marshals.

Tonight 13 GoodGymer's ran or cycled 6km to Eaton Park in the sunshine.

At the task we met Helen and Linda from the Friends of Eaton Park, who gave out tools to help tidy up the pétanque pitch.

We used trowels and delicate fingers to pull up any weeds, being careful not to tear or pierce the underlying mesh lining. After filling a wheelborrow full of weeds, we used rakes and brushes to level out the gravel.

High Five's to Tom who joined us on his first Good Deed!

After a swift 30mins the pitch was looking in a much better shape. Helen thanked us for our efforts and told us about many exciting events taking place in the park over the summer, such as bands playing, wildlife talks and late licence opening hours of the cafe! Take a look on their website & socials for more info!

Tonight 7 Goodgymers ran 5km to help support Eaton Park.

Armed with brooms & dust pans, we swept gravel off the steps of the bandstand and rotunda.

The gravel was small and there was plenty of it, so we made this most used area of the park look much cleaner!

And to finish the session Stephen had brought left over cakes from a bake sale for his 3 Peaks Challenge, so we enjoyed a bite before heading off for dinner.

It was a gorgeous evening in Eaton Park as we arrived as the sun was about to set over the park.

Our task was to give the pond area a good clean up, which consisted of cutting back some overgrown bushes, sweeping up leaves and a litter pick.

Seven GoodGymmers met at the Forum on a damp and cold Monday evening! We always have a good warm up and Steven puts us through our paces, this time we did some shuttle runs through Norwich's mesmeric light tunnel. Not wishing to be late however we set off into the good night running as a group to Eaton Park. Bobby was back runner. No-one gets left behind! We arrived in good time and met the rest of the gang, ten of us in total. However the organiser briefly threw a curveball by getting us to head to the bandstand to pick up tools - brooms and hand spades where we were met by a drummer band from Extinction Rebellion. Running back to the community centre we promptly set about sweeping the leaves and weeding between the cracks. We bustled around getting the job done in decent time. The place looked cleaner and significantly cleaner! After we collected half a dozen bags of leaves we emptied these out in the nearby woodland copse creating neat habitat piles for hibernating hedgehogs. We ran back to the bandstand to the beat of the drums - Steven's dancing did not however impress upon the group too much!! As we said goodbye to those not returning to the Forum. The gang headed back head torches blazing deep in to the winter evening.

This weeks task was solely about paying our respects by visiting the new memorial of our late member Ali, who sadly took his own life a couple of years ago.

We did a litter pick on the way and shared some great memories of Ali, one of the fondest being him standing on a pile of horse p00 in his brand new white trainers.

Bill was completing his 200th good deed so a big well done to him!

A thank you to Katy for making some yummy buns for us to eat.
