Well done Austin - you did a brilliant job! ๐Ÿ“ฑ Phoebe joined us for the very first time at Florence Park juniors, where she's signed up to volunteer as part of her Bronze Duke of Edinburgh Award. Phoebe quickly got to grips with the parkrun Virtual Volunteer app too, which she used to scan barcodes at the finish area. Welcome Phoebe โ€“ we hope you enjoyed your first time volunteering! โญ Top Team award goes to our four Tail Walkers, Billy, Leila, Eike, and Artus, who got split up on the first lap when a junior fell over and needed some first aid. Eike and Artus kept an eye on the back of the pack until Billy and Leila caught them back up on lap two. Artus and Billy earned themselves both a volunteer credit and a junior parkrun towards their next wristband! Thank you all so much for your support.

Junior parkrun Joy!

Sunday 12th November 2023

Written by Bethan Greenaway

A quartet of Goodgymers took in various roles at Florence Park Juniors this morning.

It was a little drizzly but the kids were in good spirits, especially after a warm up session of the Hokey Cokey led by Trev.

We then set off for a 10k trot around Oxford. An excellent way to start a Sunday!

Thanks to each and every one of you for your support... ๐Ÿ‘‹ Gill and Richard were visiting Oxford from their home of Newark and, not wanting to miss out on their junior parkrun fix (Dukeries juniors is their local event), joined us at Florence Park for what in the trade is called parkrun 'voluntourism' ๐ŸŒ Richard acted as our Tail Walker whilst Gill cheered juniors round the course as a marshal. Thank you so much both - it was lovely to meet you! ๐Ÿšถ It's not often we have enough volunteers to have a parkwalker. However, this week we were lucky enough to have a great turnout in hi-vis, so Lam donned the blue parkwalker bib to accompany those walking and make sure everyone feels included, however they choose to complete the course โœŒ๏ธ Juniors can volunteer as parkwalkers with their adults too - it's a great role for juniors who would prefer not to run and want to give their 2k a different focus ๐Ÿ™‚ Drop us an email if you and your junior(s) would like to give parkwalking a go! ๐ŸŽŠ Daisy made her parkrun volunteer debut with us on Sunday! We hope you enjoyed your morning Daisy โ˜บ๏ธ Thank you so much for your support. If you'd like to give volunteering a try, just drop us an email at florenceparkjuniors@parkrun.com with your parkrun barcode number ๐ŸŽŸ๏ธ Thank you for your support! How are we warming up next week? Another song and dance? See you at 8.55am on Sunday โฐ #loveparkrun
