Please see the website where these reviews will be put and you can order kit and pay memberships. This report is for those current members who I can identify from the results, so if you have not got BFC as your parkrun club I may miss your result.

Have a great Merry Christmas and Happy New Year and I hope to see many of you at the parkruns in the next week or so.
