At first there were lines, then a full house after the balls dropped

Norwich Report written by Steven Hitcham

Tonight's task was visiting our good friends at Redmayne View Care Home for a game of Bingo, something we've not done with them before.

A big GoodGym welcome to Andrea was doing her first good deed.

Congratulations to Jess for completing 10 good deeds and Rachel & Jonathan for completing 25 good deeds!

Thank you to Jennifer for being back runner this week.

It is one of our longer runs and this week was in fact our fastest ever GoodGym run, we were averaging under 11-minute miles... I'm sure there were a few people cursing me but everyone did fantastic and kept up the pace ;-)

We arrived at Redmayne to a lovely selection of refreshments, some of us hung around them longer than others haha.

It was then time for the big event to begin. We sat ourselves down amongst the tenants, who were looking forward to teaching the younger ones a thing or two about Bingo.

Sandra, the host, called out the numbers in the first game. I was so confident of winning, I only had number 85 left for ages, I waited for that magical number only for someone else to call out 'Bingo'... I could have cried.

Anyway, sulking that I didn't want to play again, I became ball caller for the remaining games (mainly to check number 85 was actually there haha). I think I have a natural voice for Bingo, some may disagree, especially when I was calling out the numbers with a mouthful of chocolate.

Generally, it was going very smoothly, we were near the end of the last game, someone close to getting a 'full house' then disaster struck! I reached over to get the potential winning ball, when somehow, I managed to tip the tray (with all of the other balls on) over myself and swiftly there were Bingo balls rolling on the floor in all directions. It was like a scene from 'Some Mothers Do Ave' 'Em'.

Despite a good rest and some refreshments, we then had to conquer the long run back, again still at a fast pace so well done everyone.

Next week it's a much shorter run as we visit Norwich Train Station to spread some mulch.

Pun credit goes to Darren

Carolyn is a now a fully fledged GoodGym runner. They've just run to do good for the first time. They are out there making amazing things happen and getting fit at the same time.

In this issue: The MAGnificent 7 groups do express delivery

Norwich Report written by Steven Hitcham

So this week's task was to deliver Age UK Norwich's quarterly magazine to various locations across Norwich. I'd pre-prepared 7 different routes with maps (I still think some people got lost haha) so this meant the group separating.

We had 1 new runner in Carolyn aka Katy's sister!

There were some big milestones this week with Jasmine and Mel reaching 25 good deeds and the GoodGym Norwich star couple Bill and Katy both doing their 50th good deed. What a difference you're all making to community organisations in Norwich.

Michelle and Helen decided it would be a good idea to run the Run Norwich 10km route before the Group Run... total madness but they got a good workout, covering over 16km over the evening!

As everyone went of in different directions in their groups there's not too much to report on this week. Calum couldn't make the run but did bring some home baked goodies for Bill & Katy's landmark... these went down well with Jasmine's birthday cakes!

After that we went to the pub for more food and a well deserved beverage.

Remember for those doing Run Norwich on Sunday, we'll meet at The Forum around 9am.

Next Monday we're Cleaning the GoGoHares.
