Did my 50 in Copenhagen and appear to be in the club on my profile, but no email about the t shirt. Wondering if the system has got confused as I wasn't at home to do it.
It should be OK doing it in Copenhagen.Have you filled in the size choice? I wrote an explanation here of where to do it.
There seems to be a bit of delay still in sending out shirts, but as they are free we can't complain too much!
I have emailed them and they are having a look into it.
Not really complaining but it took a fair bit of effort to earn it in a year.
At the moment you can't order your T, you will get an email as soon as the new system is up and running.
They are still committed as always to people getting free Ts, you will get yours but it won't be for a little while.
I'll update as soon as there's anything to tell you, although it will probably come out in an email to everyone so I might not know anything til the same time that you do!

That is what I'm missing. It just says I am in the 50 club with nowhere further to add anything.

Fortunately when you mail support you're talking to people who have the ability and sense to sort things out, they won't reply and says 'Computer says no', they'll either be able to fix it or tell you why you can't have one yet!I have emailed them and they are having a look into it.

It is the general issue with lack of supply of shirts, so I will not get the order email until the new stock comes in in March.
Nice to get a reply from a person, as you say.
Our parkrun, near Hertford, is now 12 runs old. Our first run was 320 runners, xmas day was 148 which we were very pleased with. About 30 new runners came. It my turn as event director tomorrow, all the other event directors are away so all the responsibility is mine for the morning. However sleet, 15mph winds and 2 degrees probably means I am going to get about 20 runners.
The parkrun is evolving, we are getting far more efficient in organising it and it is getting easier thank god. As we are a one loop off road course it can be interesting getting marshals to the right places.
Our costume competition was fun, we have bought cow bells for the marshalls and dressed up.

Your attendance sounds typical for a new run, you can ignore the inaugural attendance they are always abnormally high, then dip and gently rise, often with a leap after New Year (resolutions) and Summer (people see photos of themselves on the beach). In a year's time you'll look back at the days you only had 80 and realise how easy it was! We won't be surprised if we get 400 on New Years Day.
Looks like you had a decent turnout, 87, including a VM90-94. I hope I can still do 5k when I'm that age even if it does take an hour. We have a lady who used to take an hour, but we agreed that she'd start at 8.45 so the vols didn't have to stand around waiting for her, she self times and we add her manually to the results, might be worth considering if he keeps coming.
Feel free to PM me if you need help while your EDs are away, I've been ED and RD over the 83 runs at Preston Park Brighton.

I wasn't patient enough to wait for Christmas for the book, so bought it myself as soon as it came out!

There were a few rumours floating around which have turned out to be true: Adidas and Parkrun part ways: http://www.parkrun.org.uk/news/2014/12/31/goodbye-...

..and Tribeports take over, including volunteer shirts http://www.parkrun.com/news/2014/12/30/introducing...I love the introduction of the 25 club volunteer shirt. I voted for purple with the Middle option for the logo. Need to (officially) volunteer 12 more times to qualify though. Assuming pacing counts. I'll be part of the Swindon junior parkrun team when we launch in March so hitting a genuine 25 should come pretty quick.

Same here! Best looking combo me thinks. My home event often struggles to get enough volunteers so this should be enough of a carrot to get people helping out.I suspect the relationship ended mainly down to the cost of the t-shirts Adidas were supplying. When they first started as a sponsor, there were only a few events and probably supplied no more than a few hundred t-shirts a year tops (Nike were the original t-shirt sponsor and likely dropped out for similar reasons).
