Any further ideas for a location for a Spalding event?

The new Poole parkrun is called Upton House, presumably to avoid Upton parkrun (pretty vague), Upton Park parkrun (too repetitive) and to differentiate it from my own beloved Upton Court. It does mean there's somewhere else to go for those people who are trying to complete their parkrun alphabets.

@Twilight Runner. I grew up in Spalding, haven't been there in eons. I ran thousands of miles around the town back in the day, and used to plot out potential cross country courses. It's slim pickings. The two places where one could feasibly attempt a parkrun would be the banks of the Coronation Channel (2-3 laps) or the Rugby Club (one can just about eke out a mile loop there).

Three new US parkruns launching in June, taking the total from 9 to 12. Big progress for us.
June 3rd: Deep Run parkrun in Richmond, Virginia.
June 10th: Heritage Harbor Ottawa parkrun in central Illinois.
June 24th (likely): Leakin Park parkrun in Baltimore, Maryland.
June 3rd is also the 5th anniversary of the first US parkrun, in Livonia, Michigan.
Paul Sinton-Hewitt will be in the US, joining College Park parkrun on May 27th, and the Deep Run inaugural on June 3rd.
