Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Oh yes this. 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

^^^^ 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.)

When I post an update on FB and want to tag Mrs XB the suggested list of taggees never includes her. I never (what never?), well hardly ever, tag anyone else.

People that hang dog shit on trees in the wee bags never to return for it. If indeed they planned to.
