Spideog May 2021 4:43pm, 12 May 2021 963 posts	Quote Pin Spideog 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.

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.
LindsD May 2021 4:49pm, 12 May 2021 46,979 posts	Quote Pin LindsD 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.

option_Richard May 2021 5:07pm, 12 May 2021 204 posts	Quote Pin option_Richard LindsD 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)
