Welsh Masters Athletics are looking for some new field volunteers to help-out at some future WMAL championship events. 

Chris Pruski from WMAL says he is looking for at least ten new recruits to assist him at various events and confirmed that he is now able to offer some special incentives, such as special Tempo time credits! 


He explained: “I set up Tempo time credits to recruit volunteers for WMAL champs, however with so many cancellations this season, I was unable to recruit any. 

“I would like to recruit at least ten for indoor events, and then for next season. WMAL will need admin, as well as field volunteers.

“The volunteers can sign up (*via the link below), attend our events, and then obtain credits to the available offers including days out, shopping, or whatever else is on offer. I would very much like to get at least ten people signed up so that I can contact them and train them in time for our events.”

*Earn Tempo Time Credits 
by giving your time to good causes
*Use Tempo Time Credits
to have fun with family and friends

Contact Chris Pruski via Facebook or email: cpppruski@hotmail.com

Freezing cold gale force winds proved a challenge for parkrunners...and for the hardy volunteers and marshals. Report by Don Hale. Conwy photos by Michael Finnie. donhaleblog.blogspot.com   It was a very stormy and rather windswept morning across much of North Wales last Saturday as many hundreds of parkrunners battled gale-force and blustery headwinds during their challenging 5k workouts. At  the Llandrillo yn Rhos parkrun , it proved a particularly tough battle along the seafront to Colwyn Bay and back from Rhos for over 2k on the outward leg, against freezing temperatures, and a swirling, gusty wind, plus a sandy course, but it was pleasing to note that so many plaudits were deservedly given en-route and afterwards, to the hard-working team of RD’s, marshals and volunteers. Despite all the handicaps, a...
