Medication - if your child suffers requires an Asthma pump / Epipen, please ensure they are in-date and that they know how to use them

We were at the Big Friendly Cafe as usual. Sadly, the lease at the cafe is in jeopardy- please see our post with the link to the petition- could we please ask you to sign and share to help Marina and her family save the cafe. It’s such an important part of the community, we would really appreciate your help 🤗❤️.

🚨 MISSING: TOKEN #1! 🚨

Oh no! Our #1 finish token has run off on an unexpected adventure! 🏃💨

📍 Last seen: Barking junior parkrun table
📅 Disappeared on: Sunday morning
🆔 Looks like: A small plastic token with the number 1 with trees and parkrun on it🌳

We think it may have hitched a ride home in someone’s pocket by mistake—oops! If you find it, please bring it back next week so it can reunite with its token family. 🧡

No need for an interrogation—just a happy homecoming! 😊

📩 Found it? Just hand it to any of our friendly volunteers at the next event. Thanks for helping keep our parkrun complete! 🎉

Event: 56 07/07/2024 Weather: Sunny, partly cloudy 🌤️ Volunteers: 20 Finishers: 28 First timers: 4 PBs: 5 Thanks to our wonderful volunteers for a magical junior parkrun morning. 🧡 Well done to all of our juniors. Great turn out today and lovely to welcome 4 first timers and see 5 PBs. Join us next week for a 9am start. 🤗 📲https://www.parkrun.org.uk/barking-juniors/results/latestresults/ 📹 Marshal 2: James Byers

This week we are very short of volunteers as a many of the core team are at Brentwood Half Marathon - we need at least 4 more marshals and a couple of other volunteers to cover roles. Full Training is given for all roles so why not start your Sunday the best way with a bit of junior parkrun volunteering 🙂 Any volunteers also available for future weeks would also be appreciated.
