It was a day for celebration, albeit a bit chilly, a bit damp and a bit overcast - not that we had our spirits chiiled, dampened or cast aside - the 600th Gunnersbury parkrun! What a amazing achievement for the volunteers and Gunners parkrun family. Clapping was loud and cake was consumed.

To mark the occasion, We Run Ealing organised a collection of old running shoes to be recycled by the good people at JogOn.

GoodGym Ealing and Hounslow came out to support parkrun - volunteering, cheering and running - and to donate their (perhaps a bit ponky) old shoes. A packed morning with a packed sack of old shoes and cake-packed tummies!

Very busy day at the the Friday Hub as several volunteers weren’t able to make it. It was a bit chaotic but the team managed! Jacquie started by preparing food parcels then helped on tea duties before serving lunch. Jacquie was a busy bee today.

Another good session today for Jacquie Started on teas, helped serve food, wash up, give out food parcels and then clearing up. So a bit of everything. Meal was cauliflower and Stilton soup then Shepherds pie (meat or veg) with Swissroll for dessert. It was very well received.
