Who’s for another Parkrun meetup?

Hi all you inspirational runny people! 👋

We’re looking to get another Parkrun meetup in a few weeks time. Who’s up for meeting at Southampton Common on Saturday 13th April? We have Katnap , Dexy5 and cheekychipmunks coming along. Unfortunately the wonderful Runningroni can’t come but she will be there in spirit in the form of her fantastic badges.

Flaraflarkin and Oldfloss ? Could you make it?? Maybe a bit too far but it would be lovely to see you

It’s quite a biggie at just under 1,000 runners last week, so maybe good training for all those taking part in organised races over the next few weeks. It’s also a fab opportunity to meet fellow HU runners and swap stories.

What do you think???? 🤞🤞🤞🦆😊🥐🥞🍰☕️

Unfortunately I am away in mainland Europe which is a pity as Southampton is quite do-able. If you end up with a different week let me know as I would be up for it if around.

Yay!!!!! You must come.

TailChaserGraduate10 in reply toWalkingWithLabradors

How about an 8.30-8.45 meet up by the cafe? And then we can all gather together after the run to pop to the cafe for a natter?

Where is it? I might stay over at my daughters as it’s early.

TailChaser profile image
TailChaserGraduate10 in reply toWalkingWithLabradors

It’s on Southampton Common near the Hawthorn Cafe. I’ve only ever been to the pub near there so I can’t give you anymore clues than that I’m afraid. Hope you can come. 😀

If you look at Southampton Common parkrun webpage you will find all the the details WWL.

Let me know when you organise a Stratford upon Avon meet up Tails 😜😎

TailChaserGraduate10 in reply toWindoze

Same for you with Leam Windoze 😉 we still haven’t done it! It doesn’t seem right doing one for your home run, I don’t know why!!!

Thought I’d message @Thundersloth as I know he’s in that area, but he seems to have gone missing! Anybody know what’s happened to him?

TailChaser profile image
TailChaserGraduate10 in reply toSandie1961

That’s a good point Sandie, I’ve not seen Thundersloth on here for ages and his HU name isn’t coming up when you search for it on here either. Katnap - do you know what has happened to Thundersloth?

Dexy5 profile image
Dexy5Graduate10 in reply toSandie1961

I think thundersloth has moved onto longer distance. I couldn’t get him to Southsea parkrun

Sandie1961 profile image
Sandie1961Graduate10 in reply toDexy5

I was following him and I know he was going to join the Marathon forum, but he’s just not coming up at all and his previous posts are marked as hidden

Far too far. Southampton isn’t very central for anyone 😂

Except us....

TailChaser profile image
TailChaserGraduate10 in reply toDexy5

And my uncle (tho’ he’s not running...) 😉

Dexy5 profile image
Dexy5Graduate10 in reply toTailChaser

I bet he’s rather amused by this get together of people who’ve never met.?

TailChaser profile image
TailChaserGraduate10 in reply toDexy5

He will be but I think he’ll enjoy it. I suggested he brought a camera as he used to take lovely photos. He’s nearly 88 but still going strong.

I wonder if Jogunlikely y can make it. She lives east of Portsmouth in Chichester.

Jogunlikely in reply toDexy5

Aw shucks. Thanks Dexy5 for thinking of me. I can't do Sat 13th as I already have a horse event but I'm up for any future gatherings 👍😊

Have fun everyone x

Dexy5 profile image
Dexy5Graduate10 in reply toJogunlikely

Never mind, we will probably do a shout out when JonathanP comes down to Southsea for his first prom parkrun. But feel free to join us any time. We need to do Chichester sometime too.

Would have loved to have joined in with you all but we’re arriving in Southampton a little bit too late...on the afternoon of the 13th (can’t be there any earlier unfortunately). The sproglets will be Junior park running on the Sunday though if anyone is still about and has little ones.

TailChaser profile image
TailChaserGraduate10 in reply torowbot

That’s a shame rowbot, we’ve only got bigger-uns now. Katnap and I may well still be in the pub if you are about though (not quite the same but my uncle is partial to a Jack Daniels & coke 😊) x

rowbot profile image
rowbotGraduate10 in reply toTailChaser

We’re having a bit of a family get together Saturday evening, there may well be some Jack Daniels and coke involved for us too 🥃. I’m quite glad it’s the kiddies running on Sunday morning and not me 😂.
