Anyway same route as last week and nearly a minute quicker so might try for a sub 30 next week

Silent Runner Mar 2020 11:50am, 30 Mar 2020 324 posts	Quote Pin Silent Runner Had an email from parkrun last night: ‘Thank you for volunteering at Andover parkrun, event number 105 on 2013-06-29’. I guess this is a good time for catching up on correspondence, but I didn’t realise they were that far behind!

RunningRonnie Mar 2020 1:36pm, 30 Mar 2020 1,808 posts	Quote Pin RunningRonnie Hi Linds - I never delete an email. Not in work, home or parkrun. Plenty storage to archive old ones. We have labels set up in gmails: 2020 emails Jan 2020 Feb 2020 ... 2019 emails ... The main folder should only be unread or not yet dealt with.
Minnie Mad Mar 2020 2:03pm, 30 Mar 2020 2,072 posts	Quote Pin Minnie Mad Great minds, I have also had a huge clear out of the parkrun Gmail and put everything into folders, except the most recent stuff that might be relevant for parkrun. I have one for Volunteer enquiries, one for enquiries about times and lost property, one for parkrun communications and one for correspondence with our landowners. I also cleared out my personal email account as well. Feeling virtuous today!
Steven G Mar 2020 8:50pm, 30 Mar 2020 82 posts	Quote Pin Steven G We keep and file pretty much everything in the gmail. The only emails that get deleted are ones that just say "Ok/thanks/see you then" etc. Only things that have not been actioned yet or notices that I want the whole team to see get left in the inbox (the latter for maybe a week or two).
