Well, that's fairly good news. Although, having had several months to plan and implement it, I would have expected the claim system to be ready before the t-shirts arrived.

Horrible feeling looking at the forecast Ipswich will be iced off again on Saturday.

Also frankly I would have prioritised Junior 10s. That's the hardest demographic to explain to why they're not getting a t-shirt.

Wonder if they simply get harrassed by more petulant adults (via the parkrun fb group?) than children about t-shirts so its a tactic to reduce volume of complaints more than anything else. Agree in general, get a 9 year old to earn their 10 t-shirt and they will be very disappointed that they don't get one for a good long while.
I hope they've got a good fulfilment strategy sorted out!

I'm particularly liking the fact there is no sponsor info on the new t shirts - I feared they'd be covered in sponsor logos. I guess its so they can keep the design even if sponsors change?

Me too Jovi. I would have avoided it if it had Vitality emblazoned across the front

Me too. Despite actually having a Vitality insurance product I object to them being emblazoned across my parkrun t shirt!

I'm so far from anything significant they may change again before I need one. :¬)
I am not in a tribe and have no desire to wear a volly tshirt either.
I just run
ps. if anyone is desperate for a 250 tshirt I have one of the last old black ones with the GOLD on the back which is the size of a house, worn 5 times I think at other peoples 250s and free to someone if they really want one.

I find the absence of junior t-shirts a little disappointing. I too would have prioritised that group over a petulent bunch of entitled adult whiners. My boy was one of the last juniors to get a Tribe "10" t-shirt and I know that the promise of a t-shirt pushed him over the line a couple of times.

Gobi - I keep trying to give my 250 away. Despite seeing a lot of moaning about not getting a free shirt for xx months, nobody ever takes me up on the offer. The GOLD ones are precious. A few years ago I made a hoodie with the logo on for the OH which PSH just kept stroking - bit like he had found a long lost favourite.
