(I'm feeling Smug because I got a new pb at York Knavemsire this morning!) Fleecy, there's a really old song about Southern Vectis buses - they haven't changed much since the 1970s when I grew up there. I'll try and find it somewhere. Assume the Medina parkrun this morning was back at Medina? One day I'll get to do it there. The only time I've done the "Medina" parkrun it was relocated to Blackwater Cricket Club, and I can never be bothered to trek over to Ashey to do it when it's not in Newport!

We are having consistent problems with a lack of comms between timer and tokens so considering a funnel manager. We are relatively small 100-150 per week so it seems like overkill for what is actually a very easy role. At what size of parkrun would you bring in a funnel manager? Is this something RD should be doing?
