Hurrah - the fallen tree has been cleared. Great news!

Not so great news is that we have had complaints about inconsiderate parking from parkrunners.

Please don't park in East or West Walk, but use our car park or the one on Osidge Lane.

Thanks & see you tomorrow

These were actually just the stats from Saturday - not for the whole month. Just trying to think of a different title to give them to be honest!

But a monthly round-up would also be a good thing to do!
