Find out about GoodGym TaskForce
Report written by Steven Hitcham
Tonight's run was part of Coops Fortnight and the job in hand was to go and clean each of the 50 GoGoHares that are scattered across the city centre.
It was quite an emotional evening as it was Tom and Sarah's final good deed before they jet off to New Zealand for their future lives. It's been a pleasure having you both with us and you will be greatly missed by everyone.
We had 5 new runners this week in Jacob, David, Fleur, Kate & Cyrus.
A well done to Sam and Jack on doing their 10th good deed this evening.
I did then make the group aware that we had a photographer at the start taking photos for an EDP article and it wasn't just a random guy taking photos of everyone haha.
After the warm up the 35 GoodGym-ers were put into 6 groups and allocated certain GoGoHares to clean from the plan I'd made earlier, luckily I did make a plan otherwise they could have ended up running anywhere! Each group had around 8-9 GoGoHares to clean between them to cover the whole 50. One group headed to Riverside area, one to the Catholic Cathedral area, one to the Norwich Cathedral area, one to the Norwich Museum area, one around The Forum and the other around Chapelfields.
After all the groups set off I was stuck between the decision of going to watch the football down the pub (jokes) or try and find each group... I headed to the train station with the photographer to get some photos of the Coop sponsored GoGoHare then stumbled across 2 of the groups on my way back.
Once all the groups returned I beasted them through a fitness session (to help burn off the calories consumed at the GoodGym Norwich 1st BBQ party yesterday), which was our 1st for a while and we finished with a stretch.
Another great task was completed. Enjoy the photos of the GoGoHares.
Next week we have 2 tasks to do!
