Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all! Christmas jokes, shield toads, nearly 102-year old Colin Thorne did a Thing, the 5k app starts its updates, now it's DrPSHCBEFRSA, we recap our year, Nicola went to see the Bramley Family and Danny was enamoured by Whitecliffe Lake parkrun in Kent.

It's Danny with Bev and Nigel again (and some cats). It's a simple one this week, with Met Office chat, the equalising of volunteering, the 'officialdom' of challenges, good news from Osterley parkrun, Nigel added one more to his Lon-Done list, whilst Danny and Bev just stayed close to home.

Yawn. And big stretch. You butter believe there's more discussion about the 5k app being official, theories about volunteering changes and a small chat about 'that' inaugural. Plus Nicola went to Woodlands parkrun, Scarborough and Danny went to Downs Link parkrun, Shoreham-by-Sea.

'Ello! Happy Thanksgiving! It's a quickie this week. Nic Nic visited East Holmes Field parkrun in Ilkley, West York-shire and Danny diverts to Plan B at Oxford parkrun.

Exorbitant orbs! Danny puts the Chess in Chessington. York becomes one parkrun fewer. 'That' Facebook group is mothballed. Dame Kelly's grading. Nicola does a spot of heavy breathing and Danny goes back to his very origins alongside his marshalling parents at Stanborough parkrun Lakes in Welwyn Garden City.

How Do You Do, Fellow Kids? This week's episode is popping off! There's a Yesvember dichotomy, San Francisco says welcome back to parkrun, there's maybe flies on wood and seals in waterfalls, concerns on changes to parkrun culture, and Danny learns all about Newbury with his visit to Victoria Park parkrun.

It's stacked and packed this week! It's Yesvember. We prove a husband wrong. We learn about Allerheiligen. There's Celebrity Traitors and The Great British Bake Off. There's the new Parkrace app. There's Baby Wonky Bears. Tiny Steve makes tiny history. Nicola wore Hallowe'en fancy dress. And 'King' Danny had a Coronation Park parkrun-filled morning.

An opening nichetacular niche with a little parkrun history brought to you by Danny and joined by Bev and Nigel once again whilst Nicola is away. There's the best bit of community at Hagley parkrun in Christchurch NZ, Bev ambassadors for 5k Your Way at Kingston parkrun plus Danny and Nigel pop to Storeys Field reborn at Brook Leys parkrun in Cambridge.

There's marshal marshmallows, Danny goes honey nuts, a very niche once in a parkrun lifetime opportunity, we say hello to a new listener, a tactical Christmas wish, Nicola went west side to Moss Side at Alexandra parkrun in Manchester and Danny did 10-years straight at Riddlesdown parkrun in Croydon.

No fireworks, just good ol' parkrun chat. Should every 50-milestones be a Thing? Have you seen Match of the Day? Are you a hugger or a handshaker? Plus both Nicola and Danny are too tired to tour far far away (Nic Nic at Lister Park parkrun parkrun and Danny at Queen Elizabeth parkrun parkrun). Sacreligious, we know.
