The star of the show and centre of attention was Leo, the new GoodGym Norwich puppy mascot.

We visited the ever popular Mousehold Heath to start the summer task of pulling up bracken, to help conserve the heathland.

Thank you to Bill and Katy for bringing along some fresh homegrown strawberries.

Phew it was very hot at 08.30 not necessarily what you wanted today when we had Pacers helping you around the course. 442 people attending the only Goodgymer was Any C so lovely to see you. Lots of park walker which is always good to see, & a PB for many walkers I believe to get out of the sun.

This evening was Elizabeth H's 700th GoodGym deed, what an incredible woman.

We visited Aslake Community Growers. One of the corners had been neglected, so our task was to start to clear it, with the main focus being removing the wire fencing and ivy.

The time went quick but we got a lot done. We finished the evening with some birthday cake.

12 young people enjoyed a 2K run/walk/jog around a blustery, sunny park, enjoying some quality time outside activity

We definitely needed rain but not at 8am when Parkrun is setting up & when you’re timekeeper trying to keep your screen dry! Luckily we’re blessed with lovely Catton Parkrun umbrellas. Numbers were down on the usual, but still 214 people came out to walk/run/jog their way around. Well done everyone it was also my 700th Goodgym deed today, which we will celebrate at Tuesdays Group Run along with our Area Activator Steven H 40th birthday

113 excited young people enjoyed a lovely 2k walk/running around Waterloo Park. There were 8 first timers to Junior Parkrun today, fantastic effort
