I've fairly frequently nabbed the faster runners to fill in as scanners when our queues have built up, there's usually a few who will offer when they see the queues rise.

The forestry one is I guess a bit significant as they have a few other events as well don't they which people were saying wouldn't be back until September based on previous messages from them? There was a bunch of other events through Cumbria announced yesterday which could have made a difference... Or more likely didn't.

Interesting that Whinlatter is greenlit. Gives me hope that Delamere might see the same outcome; I don't think any Cheshire runs have got the goahead just yet, but if Forestry England has relented in one spot then there is hope for a good swathe of others.

I think I said this before but I was told by our regional ambassador that we didn't need to have the extra scanners on the roster to go ahead.

That smiling thumbs-up woman should get a commission every time parkrun put her face on something. :-)

you did. Could your ambassador get the Framework updated to reflect that? I assume HQ would be ok with that.

.
It's not good to tell everyone, including landowners & LAs that you WILL do something, & then randomly/unofficially say 'nah that doesn't matter'

(LindsD, not having a go at you. Just that parkrun HQ are very good at producing new stuff, but not updating/maintaining existing stuff)
