23 wonderful starters today and 20 finishers. Such a lovely cool morning to walk/run. The course was a little heavy due to the damp but we dont mind that inconvenience - we'd prefer to have the rain. A lot of visitors today: Casino, Armidale, WA, Adelaide, QLD and Tamworth. If I have missed you in this group I am sorry. But we love having you no matter where you are from. A huge congratulation to Graham today on his 25th parkrun, an official parkrun milestone. And the 8 first timers, welcome. Thanks to those who stepped in to help out with tokens and token sorting. We appreciate your help.
Next weekend is the long weekend so if you have visitors coming to stay please bring them along to join in the fun - remind them to register parkrun.com
Our legend vollies this week were Katie as RD, Leigh as Timer, Jo on scanning, tokens and marshalling (yes she is a magician) Beth on Tailwalking, Alex on token sorting, & Victoria on photos. See some photos from today. Hope to see you all next week.

Chaffey Park park run will hopefully be held, as usual, this coming Saturday 30th May. There will be a course check late Friday afternoon and again early Saturday morning.
If the course is unsafe due to recent rain, we will publish that it is cancelled at approximately 7.00am Saturday.
We welcome this great rain and hope we can go ahead. We need some volunteers to hand out finish tokens, bar scan results and to marshal on the course. Would you like to join us?

We also welcome any newcomers to walk, jog or run our course.
Recently we have welcomed a family - Children, Parents and a Grandparent - who all walk the course, great to see and have them with us. Another new local joined us last week, our numbers are growing.

Hope to see you on Saturday, 7.50am for a briefing, 8.00am start.
