@tomwilliams1974 It’s sad to see you leave, but exciting times for you on your journey. Thankyou for everything parkrun, and thankyou for all your help and support in developing parkrun in Sheffield. You’ll be missed.

Some personal news ⬇️ It’s with great pride, and some trepidation, that I’m letting you know my time as a parkrun staff member has come to an end. Fourteen years ago I gave up my safe and secure lecturing job to volunteer for this wonderful movement, and everyday since then I’ve been fortunate to enjoy the most incredible journey. Time and again we’ve faced challenges, as we’ve grown from a handful of events to over two-and-a-half thousand, from one country to over twenty, and from a few thousand people to many millions. Following Paul Sinton-Hewitt's lead, we’ve challenged accepted norms, found new and innovative solutions to complex problems, and worked tirelessly to bring parkrun to as many people as possible. Sitting here reflecting on my experiences, the clear common thread through every memorable moment however has simply been time spent with the most amazing people. The relationships that parkrun has brought me have enriched my life in ways I could never have imagined, restored my faith in humanity, and demonstrated time and again what incredible things we can achieve when we work together toward a common goal. As with all good things however, there comes a time to move on and explore new adventures. For me, that time is now, as with both excitement and nervousness in equal measure, I’m stepping into a new chapter of my life. I’d like to thank everyone who's put their trust in me over the years, stood by me when times have been tough, and pointed me in the right direction when I’ve wandered off course. Thank you. As for parkrun itself, whose journey I often think about in human years, I first experienced it when it was just two years old, I've seen it grow from a toddler to a teenager, and as it’s about to enter its twenties, the future is incredibly bright. I feel immensely proud that the experience parkrunners all around the world enjoy today is so similar to that of the first parkrun pioneers back in 2004, and I’m excited to continue my journey simply as parkrunner A6013. Thank you for your friendship, love, and incredible parkrun passion, Tom

@dwhembro @SHU_AWRC @DrRobCopeland Are you practicing your Jedi tricks again

Caption this...

@dwhembro Of course, classic ryan stiles and Colin mochrie!

@RyanAmos13 Sitting, standing, lying or hanging. In groups of four.... it was a game on 'whose line is it any way? (without the hanging)

Who can tell me what's going on here. A bonus point for what TV programme I stole the idea from...

@dwhembro @SHU_AWRC Indeed, members might pay £200 membership but get money back on SHU card for every visit which could go to next membership or coffees in catering. Same for staff- why not have wellbeing objectives in PDR and the department pay fee but get the money back if objectives met?

@RyanAmos13 That's good thinking. SHU Card points? The @SHU_AWRC would be interested in being involved in evaluating that I'd imagine...

Full details on the new obesity and weight loss investment. There was a knee jerk from the fitness industry to slate this. I think that's shortsighted. The details, innovative and investment is only a good thing... gov.uk/government/new…

Soooo good...

Wales showing the way to win the six nations is the extra man 😳

Not sure the @EnglandRugby players will be looking forward to game analysis Monday morning. Just not at the races. Fair play Scotland, solid display!

@KahootSupport Thank you, received.

@KahootSupport have taken money for a free trial, have tried contacting you through various channels to no joy. Can you respond?

@KahootSupport maybe you can help?

@GetKahoot I started a free trial but money was taken from my account straight away, have left a message via your contact page but heard nothing back. Is this normal practice to take money on a free trial?

Well done @dwhembro , extremely high levels of awesomeness!
