I have done loads of volunteer coordinating at my old home parkrun and struggled to fill the roster every week but always someone willing to do a role which either doesn't need doing or can just simply be done by the core team

LazyDaisy 20 Mar 7:30pm, 20 Mar 2025 41,498 posts	Quote Pin LazyDaisy ^^^^ I put that on the TYWTSBC thread yesterday. In my defence, my volunteer/run ratio is a lot better than many, many parkrunners and all the non-running roles were filled. And I've never done Report Writer (the only role apart from Car Park Marshal I've not yet done.)
