Great Helpings

Saturday 20th September

Written by Dave M

Our parkrun visit today took us to Great Salterns to lend a helping hand.

Jen and mini GG-er Alice ensured everyone got their correct finish token. And after a rather speedy run, Dave and Billy sorted the tokens into order and placed them back on the string for next week!

Wildflower parkrun

Saturday 16th August

Written by Jane

Laura and I enjoyed helping out at Great Salterns Parkrun, giving out finish tokens and barcode scanning.

It's a lovely setting - with the open green space, the trees and the new colourful wildflower meadow.

Totally Tropical [finish] Tokens

Saturday 19th July

Written by Katie Carew-Robinson (she/her)

It was a humid, hot and rainy parkrun this morning. Fewer people than last week, definitely due to the conditions... Some of the puddles even made a return to the course. Fortunately no thunder and lightning.

94 Finish tokens were handed out to some very sweaty runners!

Too early for maths! 🔢

Saturday 15th March

Written by Yvonne Hawley

It was a lovely frosty 🥶 but sunny ☀️ morning at Great Salterns parkrun. 3 GoodGymers volunteered to support one of our local but smaller events. Dave time kept⏱️, Yvonne handed out finish tokens and Jane barcode scanned, then we sorted tokens after. There were quite a few first timers today, maybe 20 out of a field of 65 participants. We did discuss with another parkrunner if event 171 was a significant challenge number such as a Fibonacci or prime number. It must have been too early or we needed more coffee ☕️ or weetabix, as we thought it might be a prime number, but after checking it is actually divisible by 3, 9, 19 and 57! Oh well, at least we managed to time and record the 65 participants correctly! 😀

🏃‍♂️ More Salt-erns Needed! 🧂

Saturday 11th January

Written by Dave M

Tokens and teetering were the game at Great Salterns parkrun this morning! The turn of the weather to the cold end of the scale left a lot of ice patches around trying to upend the runners! 🧊

With Dave handing them out and Sinéad collecting and sorting them, it didn't take long for all 71 tokens to be happily back on their string 🧵

Jen helped clear up at the end so that everyone could get off swiftly to the warmer environments awaiting them 🌡
