PP5 Marshal Request
Posted in British Legion, Memorial hall, Parwich Panoramic 5, Sport on Friday June 26, 2015| Leave a Comment »
Nia has inherited the organisation of this year’s Parwich Panoramic Five (Fell Race), and has asked us to post the following:
Would anyone like to be a marshal for the PP5 on Tues 4th Aug?
Chance to wear a high viz vest and look at sweaty men and women in lycra safe in the knowledge that being a marshal implies being the sensible one!
Contact me on 661 if anyone would like to help. Great fund raiser for Parwich Memorial Hall and the Royal British Legion (the national charity).
It is a great event and well worth supporting so do give Nia a ring.

Big thank you to our willing volunteers who gave up their Sunday afternoon to come along and help – you all did an absolute fantastic job which is very much appreciated.
Big thank you also to Emma and Rob for the excellent BBQ you prepared for the troops.Thanks again, Carl
