Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

It's my first day RDing today, well there are two of us doing it, I'm going to do the briefing which I am excited about 😁 going to do some milestone shout outs

We were thinking about cancelling yesterday morning because the roster was looking so thin, we put out another email appeal and Facebook post and people stepped up to volunteer and by Friday lunchtime it was full 😁

Hope everyone has a great parkrun, the weather looks better here in the UK 🌞

My first time as photographer today. I’ve no experience of doing this sort of photography, so I volunteered as neither of the two regulars were available.

It turned out that one of them is available now (she was my tutor at a photography for beginners course last year) so she will be THE photographer and I shall have my camera with me for some shots from my marshalling point.

It will be good practice for me.

Hope it's all gone well Benny - I've only been RD 3 times but it does get easier after the first one.

Thanks everyone, it went really well 😁
The core team are wonderfully supportive, and we had good timekeepers and number checker so the results processing went smoothly.
Nailed the RD speech, had them doing a bit of panto-style audience participation which was fun.
Quite a few parkruns here in the northwest have been cancelled due to fallen trees and flooding so we had a lot of people coming from those parkruns so we had a good turnout, nearly 400.
It's one of the most rewarding things I've ever done ☺️
