chunkywizard Jan 2022 6:35pm, 5 Jan 2022 13,245 posts	Quote Pin chunkywizard I think the week after NYD is always one of the harder ones. We are still short for Saturday, after email and FB, so I’ll do another FB post and I am sure we will get there. Hope you get your roster filled.
Bazoaxe Jan 2022 7:08pm, 5 Jan 2022 21,631 posts	Quote Pin Bazoaxe I am keeping an eye on the roster. I would like to run this week and volunteer next week but will see if they fill up. About 50% at present
sallykate Jan 2022 7:22pm, 5 Jan 2022 8,681 posts	Quote Pin sallykate Ditto, LindsD. Still 10 slots to fill - I'm not RD this week and would like to participate instead of volunteer. Will see how it goes. I'd like to volunteer half the time and run half the time for the next few months.
Dvorak Jan 2022 7:32pm, 5 Jan 2022 24,129 posts	Quote Pin Dvorak Prompted by that, I've had a look at my four nearest, thinking I'd volunteer if needed. All seem pretty much sorted. Not bad for the following week either. Think I'll have a run then. Shh, I know, don't tell HQ that's why I'd volunteer

Old Croc Jan 2022 2:07pm, 6 Jan 2022 34,068 posts	Quote Pin Old Croc having to constantly appeal (plead) for volunteers really grinds you down I agree. Then when you do an appeal it's the same old same olds who step up.

chunkywizard Jan 2022 2:42pm, 6 Jan 2022 13,246 posts	Quote Pin chunkywizard One of our regular volunteers is away this week so we are short. I was very tempted to post that Peter who has marshalled 93 times since 2017 wasn't available so can anyone else help.
