Monthly Prizes


 
Hi All,

Just a quick update and some thank you's to some of our hero's at Sewerby Parkrun over the last few months.


January's sweatshop monthly prize was awarded to Dave Playforth. A big thanks goes to Dave for all his support of the event from the very start. Dave is a very keen runner who consatntly tries to beat his PB and has ran in 17 of the 23 events. The other 6 events he hasn't run in, he has volunteered and helped promote Sewerby Parkrun through taking pictures and updating the flicker site. Dave's current PB stands at a fantastic 21.25 in which I'm sure he is keen to beat as he always is. Thanks again Dave, hopefully the trainers will help!

February's sweatshop monthly prize was awarded to Martin Stack. It has been a pleasure having Martin on board and we don't know what we'd do without him. Martin joined us on our 3rd event. As a keen runner he has run in the 3rd, 4th 5th and 10th event and holds a great PB of 23.58. However, other than running the event, he has been an invaluble addition to the volunteer team and our right hand man. Martin has volunteered 16 times up to now and is a whizz with the scanner, and I'm sure its a pleasure to see him when you cross the finish line with his dashing good looks and fun personality! Our very own George Clooney, haha! On a serious note though a big thanks goes out to Martin who is with us every week, helping with not just scanning, but packing up, organising volunteers, updating results and reminding me of anything I forget to do! Thanks for all your hard work.

Our latest monthly prize for March goes out to Gillian Halliwell. You will probably see Gill co-ordinating the service road and the entrance into the Woodland track in her High Visibility jacket and halloween gloves! If somehow you miss her which is doubtful, you may here Gill and Martin communicating to oneanother in what can only be described as broad west yorkshire (wezzy) accents, which they tell me are different from oneanothers but definately sound the same, haha. Again, on a more serious note Gill has been an amazing help, volunteering nearly every week since she ran for the first time on the 3rd event. Gill holds a great PB of of 30.13 and has run in 5 events, the rest of which she has been a regular volunteer. Every week Gill helps with sorting the tokens, packing up, recruting volunteers and just generally being a star! Thanks very much Gill for all your amazing work, I hope the trainers bring you super speed!

If you are interested in volunteering, you can catch most of us in the Tea Rooms for a coffee after the run, so pop over and have a chat.

See you all Saturday.

Happy Running!!
