The (Country) Show Must Go On!

1 GoodGymer made their way to help their local community in Norwich.

: Saturday, 18th of May 2019
: Led by Norwich runner

Today our Goodgymmer Bek volunteered at Norwich parkrun. Thank you for taking the photos.

She reports there was a Country Show happening in Eaton park but business for the parkrunners carried on as usual! The weather was damp and humid which attracted a plentiful amount of bugs and the Heron was busy fishing in the pond again!

Next week we will have an interpreter here at Norwich parkrun to sign the first timers briefing. This is part of the Norwich Summer Deaf Festival. Please share that we will have a British Sign Language signed welcome to Norwich parkrun on Saturday 25th May!

❤️❤️❤️ Love parkrun? Give some love back by volunteering!

Volunteer on a Saturday morning during the month of June at Norwich parkrun (Eaton Park). Meet at the bandstand at 8:30am with the run director and the other high-viz heroes. You will have a full briefing of the mornings events and how to best support everyone participating at parkrun.

Tasks are varied and include: marshalling, scanning, giving out & sorting finish tokens, tail - walker and many more. All of the tasks are explained in full, easy to do and the tasks are a fun insight into how parkrun runs! The volunteering role usually finishes around 10-10:30am.

Volunteering is great for example if you become injured, are just getting into running, or even have a race on the following Sunday!

If you want to give back to the parkrun community & gain new experiences then parkrun volunteering is for you. You will receive a point on your parkrun profile & if you volunteer 25 times you will gain a free purple 25 volunteer t-shirt! If you would like to volunteer at Norwich parkrun and in turn receive a Goodgym good deed.

You will need to email: norwichhelpers@parkrun.com to let them know you are able to volunteer. Also let them know in your e-mail that you are part of Norwich Goodgym!

Because we work with vulnerable adults and our runners participate at their own risk, participants need to be over 18.

Looking forward to seeing you there, Hayley - Norwich parkrun Volunteer Organiser
