*Parkrun Windrush Takeover!* Sat. 15th April

Hi everyone,

A big shout out to all of our 20+ volunteers and cake bakers involved with our first ever Windrush parkrun Takeover! 

The post-parkrun social had great feedback too and was brilliantly organised by Saffron Pinegar, Windrush Social Secretary, with music, around 8 varieties of cake and eventually, a bit of sunshine!

Though it was quite chilly, parkrunners and new members came and shared our tea and cake, and asked a lot about Windrush which was a great opportunity to share what we do and have a bit of a mingle!

Due to the positive feedback, we will be organising another Windrush parkrun takeover and social combo this summer.  More to follow... 

Thanks again and hope to see you all again soon,

Hannah - Windrush Volunteer Coordinator

Timekeeper and back up: Dave Synott & back up Dermot Heron

Thanks for organising Hannah!

What a fab opportunity to get our name out there and hopefully encourage more people to join the club. I've signed up to give out the tokens. Hopefully someone will help me :-)

I can see there is a photographer position Dean!!

We still have 10 Windrushers to find for Brockwell parkrunbr/>

If this goes well, a club takeover could possibly be considered for Peckham/another local parkrun at a future date!
