Brett's BFC Members parkrun review 23rd November 2024
I make it 27 members ran at 6 different events.
A larger than normal total of 84 parkrunners took part at Great Salterns parkrun event #153
Southsea had cancelled due to Storm Bert warnings, mainly in respect of conditions for the volunteers I was told. A few of their regulars came to GS where conditions were not too bad. The wind was quite strong from the south blowing against us on the long grass stretch though,
Jack Ingleby was 1st again and 1st in the Age-Graded Percentages too. Christine was 3rd & 1st female & 2nd in the Age Grades. Laura Richardson and Maria Tucker made the top 10 female finishers. In the Age Grades, I was 3rd and Geoff Newman 9th (also near his course best).
Sean Reeve debuted at GS.
Thanks to the volunteers
We are very grateful to the volunteers who made this event happen: Paula BLAIN, Ruth COLLINS, Paul INGLEBY, Stephen JANSEN, Lynne JOLLEY, Darron JOLLIFFE, Jen LITTLE, Sally RUMFITT, Carol SEYMOUR, Clive TUCKER, Maria TUCKER, Janice WELLSTEAD, Alex YORKE, James YORKE
Why not get involved and volunteer? Tomorrow (30th) we could do with a couple more marshals as most positions are filled. Thank you to everyone including club members who help out.

A total of 196 parkrunners took part at Bognor Regis parkrun event #457
Course Description
This is a 4 lap course consisting of an initial short lap followed by 3 longer laps around the paths and alleyways of Hotham Park and its perimeter. Starting near to Hotham House and the Bandstand, participants follow the pathway past the Boating Lake to a crossroads where they turn right across the miniature railway track. They continue to a sharp bend where they turn right again and head back towards the start to complete the first smaller lap of approximately 700m.
On the subsequent 3 laps they turn left at the crossroads following the path South West running past the Hotham Park cafe and the conservation area and turn right into the wide alleyway that runs parallel to the Park. A short run along the alley and a near 180 degree right turn back into the park brings them back to the crossroads from the opposite direction, where they turn left and head back down to the sharp right turn. On these laps approximately 150metres further on they turn left across the miniature railway tracks followed by a quick right that takes them on the path back to the main Car Park past the Wildforset Falls miniature golf course before joining the main path back to the start area. On the 3rd of these laps you finish on the path to the left of the Hotham Park House and Bell Tower.
The course is completely flat and on well maintained pathways with one slightly narrow section of about 20 metres.
Ian Briscoe remains our fastest here with 21:41
