Maurice was the stalwart GoodGymmer as ever as he provided support to the junior parkrun team this week. With numbers increasing at junior parkrun (which is fabulous! More children and families being active!), Maurice's role was to marshal at the turnaround cone to warn about trips and falls, and then on to Funnel Manager, keeping the children in order and making sure the timekeepers and tokens stayed in sync.

122 juniors took part this week, another brilliant attendance! And well done Maurice!

It was the perfect weather for a summer litter pick!! Karen, Marjo, Mark, Maurice, Rachel and Nicola collected a whopping 12 bags of rubbish from the streets around the Tesco/Dunelm area.

It's always rewarding to get a good haul of rubbish but it would be nice if the streets didn't need it!

The hi-light of the evening was definitely the drinks and snacks afterwards in Hops Bar. It's always lovely to catch up with friends.

See you at the next one! Nicola xx

Wow! what a morning at junior parkrun! 183 juniors took part, it was SO busy! Kat was tailwalker this week with her son who is doing his silver Duke of Edinburgh award; Karen was funnel manager trying to keep done order amongst all the chaos; Maurice did a sterling job of bring timekeeper, and Claire and Nigel were marshals on the course.

Thank you and well done everyone!

another record breaking morning at parkrun! 136 juniors, lots of grown ups and lots of volunteers! Karen and Nigel were volunteering this morning, with a bit of volunteer coordinating, marshaling (and cheering!), helping with finish tokens, and packing everything away. Such a lovely start to Sunday.

A lovely morning for a parkrun and a reminder about everything that is so good about parkrun. Karen was Run Director today, with added duties of xourse check, number checker, and results processor; Nigel was on course set up, timekeeper and close down, and Kat was on barcode scanning while her son did his first Duke of Edinburgh volunteering. Lots of juniors volunteered today, with parkrun a great easy way to get involved in volunteering.

We saw celebrations of amazing running and volunteering milestones today, and it was lovely to see Mark and Marjo back at parkrun. The parkrun community is so supportive and there's no doubt that many friendships have been made and physical and mental health benefits felt.

6 GoodGymmers were up bright and early to lend a hand at junior parkrun today! Karen and Nigel were there for event set up and to welcome volunteers - a lovely surprise to see Kat who joined the team as a tailwalker alongside Emily; Karen went on to be Run Director while Nigel, Maurice and Claire were marshals around the course. A fabulous morning with 107 juniors taking part!
