Expect a few puddles during your parkrun tomorrow - but as it stands, don’t expect any photos as we’re still missing a photographer 💔

We could really do with another barcode scanner as well so if you’d be happy to help us out either by taking photos or scanning barcodes, please let us know!

Morning all,
We've got a few volunteer spots for this Saturday. We'd love to hear from you if you could assist. Email us as [email protected], DM us, or drop a comment below. If you can't help this week there are squillions of openings for future weeks.

This week we need:
- 2 barcode scanners (who are available the whole time)
- 1 course marshal
- A photographer

As always, we can help if you have never done these roles before. Just drop us a line.

What a lovely morning for 530 people to make their way around our wonderful wetland parkrun. So great to see, and the weather, as advised, was "splendid"!

We had a great cohort of volunteers this week. Parkrunners who did so for their fellow parkrunners, and we are forever grateful for that. Parkrun happens because of its volunteers - as always, please consider if you can assist in future weeks and drop us a line. Sorry, no photos generally this week as we did not have anyone put their hand up for that role.

See you all next week I hope!

Here's a list of our fab vollies for this week:
Jeffo KASPARIAN • Elizabeth IUSSA • Ian MEGAW • Jennifer SAVILLE • Ben O'BRIEN • John SAVILLE • Francine EDWARDS • Jonathan HEDGER • Georgia LOADER • Patricia VELAITIS • Chantelle SHEATHER • Mary STAUNTON • Henry WILSON • David SLEATH • Stephanie TAYLOR • John NGUYEN • Gerry VELAITIS • Mackenzie HOOPER • Alana KNIGHTS • David BIERTON • Joseph ALVAREZ • Claire CAHILL • Patricia THAGGARD

***UPDATE***
Thanks to Georgia, Alana, David, Claire and Elizabeth we have most positions filled. Still need a photographer is anyone is able to help out - drop us a line.
Oh, and the weather is still going to be splendid!!

Hi parkrunners,
The weather looks splendid for Saturday!

We need several people to assist as volunteers to ensure we can operate safely. All these roles require volunteers who are available for the whole event. All are simple and easy to be briefed about on the day. We currently need:
➡ 3 Course Marshals
➡ A Funnel Manager
➡ A Finish Token Support person
➡ A photographer (OK, we can do without this, but then how do we look ourselves up afterwards!!??).

If you are able to help (or if you cannot this week but can in future weeks), please comment to this post, send us a message, or email to [email protected].

Many thanks!
