But if it means a few more people get a bit fitter and happier, I suppose it's worth the cringing!

BexleyKev Jul 2018 12:23pm, 10 Jul 2018 207 posts	Quote Pin BexleyKev FDNB - a new line of parkrun re-usable, collapsible beakers? Have tried to zoom in to see whether they have the new parkactive branding (not really although you never know! ).

No subliminal branding conspiracy to see here.

Andrew65 Jul 2018 1:29pm, 10 Jul 2018 904 posts	Quote Pin Andrew65 Well, whatever it takes to get people int the park to get active I guess can only be a good thing. It looks like this 'advert' is intended just to reassure those that might be tempted to go along but are sitting on the fence. To those that are already attending it probably makes little sense because they already know all that stuff.
