IMPORTANT NOTICE:

We are running the risk of not hosting a parkrun this weekend. Most of the Core Team is not available and it is again only the usuals that are volunteering. We will check the status on Thursday and make a decision if there will be a parkrun this coming Saturday.

I am asking you to please step up and take our hands in this.
