Introducing a new superstar to the Admin Team! It's damienair!!! 🤩

[roseabi]

Hi everyone!

He needs no introduction, but I hope you will all join me in celebrating the newest member of the Admin Team...

damienair !!!!

Of course he's already famous in the Bridge to 10K community for his wonderful support of the weekly (not)parkruns, and he's just the guy we want to run a virtual community 5K or 10K with! He has joined our team to continue supporting you Bridge-ers on your amazing running journeys 😊😊😊

Look out for him with his new Moderator badge, and say hi!

Damien, thank you so much for joining our team!!

Welcome and congratulations to you Damien on joining the Admin Team, I particularly like your virtual 5K reports on a Saturday.

[damienair Administrator in reply to AlMorr]

The Saturday morning Virtual 5K's would be nothing without you guys. I'll have to bake extra scones for next Saturday morning. I hear Moderation is hungry work.

Welcome ! 👍

[damienair Administrator]

Oh Wow. Thank you so much roseabi , I love the photo from the Air. I was looking at it, thinking, I don't remember taking that shot from my Microlight. It looks a little late in the evening for me to be at that altitude.

Thanks everyone for all the lovely comments. I look forward to helping out in any way I can. I have found this community to be so warm, friendly, inspirational and no doubt has kept myself and many others running when we may have otherwise given up. I was amazed last year when I sent out a little post here, telling the community that I was travelling to Bristol to do my first UK parkrun, and some of you lovely peeps traveled for miles to meet us at Eastville park. The online community here is exactly the way all social media and online communication should be conducted. It is a beacon. And only because of all the amazing people here. But of course that is only natural as the nicest people are runners. Happy running and thanks again for the invitation. I'll wear my new badge with pride.

Damien
