A calm, sunny and crisp Saturday was perfect to help out at Southsea parkrun this morning. A huge congratulations to Wilson who made it to 200 good deeds today and a massive welcome to Georgina and Meghan who joined us for their first Goodgym community mission. Make sure you give them both a cheer. We all had a mixture of tasks this morning, Jo north was there early to assist with the pre event setup and then allocated to bar code scanning. Meghan and Georgina were the turn point so unfortunately we didn’t get much of a chance to talk but hopefully we can do that on other missions and group runs. Aoife was a very keen and eager bar code scanner making sure everyone knew where we were. Sinéad was handing out the tokens to the finishers and there was large number today due to the nice weather so was very busy. Dr Jo, India and Judy were marshalling along the prom and then assisted with the token sorting alongside Wilson who ran and then helped to sort the tokens. Ellie was parkrun walker and post event close down and asked if we fancied a dip in the sea afterwards with her. Sadly a lot of us had other plans that didn’t involve going into the freezing sea. We’re nearing towards the end of the January challenge and we still have a few community missions listed for the rest of the month. Have a look here for what is going on.
