Of course, that's not happened for a while but when I get back to it I'll be wandering around in colours, and despite my shyness I'll still say Hi to anyone wearing Fetch gear, and be happy for others to say hi to me. I'm always particularly grateful for the random "Go Fetchie" cheers you get during races from people you don't recognise and haven't met before or after, and that gives you a stalking opportunity.;-)

However I did meet Minardi at the ill fated Perkins Great Eastern Run due to my Fetch top and Becca7 gave me shout as she passed me in the New York marathon last month.
snayak Dec 2019 2:30pm, 2 Dec 2019 381 posts	0 snayak Like many others here, I race in a club shirt but I've started wearing my fetch shirt at parkruns more often when I'm running. I was surprised to find out just how many Fetchies had run at a local marathon I was helping out at a few weeks ago. It's a shame I didn't know beforehand; I would've worn some Fetch kit. It doesn't seem like there are many Fetchies in the Northeast these days.

Jayfire Dec 2019 7:07pm, 2 Dec 2019 3 posts	0 Jayfire This seems to be an appropriate place to say hi, kind of again. I'm not an invisible Fetchie at events but have been on the forum, I find that the threads have been going a long while and it seems intrusive to just say hi in them, so here I am intruding in this thread that's been going a while to say hi and try to begin to integrate in the site
