‘Folding Away the parkrun Banner’

Stayed around a bit after parkrun today to watch (and to lend a hand in) the job of packing everything up. 

One of the tasks is folding the parkrun sign that marks the starting point of the run. Easy enough to open it up - it just springs open - but to fold it up again to put it back into its bag so it can go in the boot of a car is definitely a lot more tricky!

The problem is actually quite infamous - it features in YouTube videos,  and there are stories of parkrun teams struggling with it for a full 20 minutes!

This Edinburgh parkrun regular, however, really does have ‘the knack’!
