Here’s one Nickie allowed us to share:

“Confession time. I was on my way to Burnley parkrun, checked my email, saw the volunteer update for Witton parkrun and realised I was down for giving out tokens at Witton. Too late to turn round and go back so I sent a grovelling message to the WhatsApp group and Annika was able to cover for me. I’ll be repaying this kindness next week!”
