Report written by StephDucat
Extra session this month at Pitshanger Juniors Parkrun : 4 Goodgymers went to cheer 89 runners today. Sevan was marshal at position 3, Jacquie and Steph Ducat were marshals at position 1 while Kash was on bar code scanning. Today was a special day for several reasons . To start brand new tokens appeared on the table ready to be given out. to the finishers. Today Kelvin was run director, but it was also his birthday : did we get cake you would ask!No we didn't!!But Kelvin brought jelly babies to be given out to all the junior runners at the finish line. All the finishers enjoyed the jelly babies and they were not the only ones. Did this make some of the runners go quicker to be sure they get a jelly baby. Most volunteers also had jelly babies. Kelvin still had some left and would bring them next week. We had 89 finishers today and the new tokens were handed out. Token number 58 disappeared and went missing - not the first time a token gets lost or taken back home, but its not the first time for the number 58 to disappear. Will it come back next week?
One of the regular marshals Malcolm completed his 99th volunteering session today - next one will be the big 100 !!!
