MY FINAL NEWSLETTER – It has been a long ride since I produced the first Newsletter on 3 October 2011, and in my 15th year I have taken the decision of early retirement, at the age of 79 (in a couple of weeks). I have reported on so many Team and Individual successes over those years, and I am sure with so much talent in the club, the future looks extremely bright. Therefore I wish you all a Happy, Healthy and Successful time for the remainder of this year.

The new SBH Website is currently under development, and should be live from early April.

NEW CLUB INDOOR RECORD – Congratulations to STACEY GONZALEZ who set a new Masters Women 50-54 Indoor Shot 4kg Record with a distance of (7.14mi) at the Hertfordshire and Middlesex Indoor Championships at Lee Valley on 22 March. There was no previous record for the Shot 4kg.

ARTHUR KENDALL MEMORIAL TRUST – Grant applications for the Arthur Kendall Memorial Trust for 2026 are now open. Please find attached the relevant application form – Arthur Kendall Application Form 2026

ENGLAND ATHLETICS REGISTRATION FEE – Will be going up to £23 from 1 April 2026.
It is important that Clubs encourage their athletes to sign up to the UKA & HCAF codes of conduct to enable them to compete under the UKA Rules of Competition. All athletes MUST access their portal and agree to the athlete code of conduct before competing.

CHANGE OF ATHLETES AGE-GROUPS – From 1 April 2026 the new age-groups will be implemented, when young athletes who compete under UKA rules will change from U13, U15, U17, as is currently the case, to U14, U16, U18.

METROPOLITAN LEAGUE 2025-2026 INDIVIDUAL RESULTS – On the Metropolitan League Website, the Individual results have still to be updated. Currently they show athletes who have completed 3 or 4 races, as the 5th race was cancelled, it would seem the fairest way of updating the final result, is to adjust athletes totals based on all athletes completing 3 races.

STONEX STADIUM MEMBERSHIP – To use the StoneX Stadium facilities for training, SBH members are required to pay a fee. You can register as a member (which is free) which then entitles you to a discount. This is the link to the form to apply for membership – SBH StoneX Membership 24-07-25
EMMA GOUGE who is the Stadium Athletics and SBH Co-Ordinator had advised me that any athletes coming outside the usual Tuesday and Thursday that they can tap and go with the sum up machine in West reception or scan the QR code, which they will find on the pedestrian gate on entry. We would remind you that athletes should not come through the clubhuse without paying the entry fee. This gets picked up, not only by other athletes that pay, and find it very frustrating and unfair, but also by Saracens security system which can result in a fine, and a ban from using the facility.

SHAFTESBURY BARNET HARRIERS SUBSCRIPTIONS – The current SBH annual subscription is £90 (following the 2025 SBH AGM) and the current England Athletics annual registration from 1 April 2026 is £23. The current total is £113 and you will be advised via the SBH Membermojo system, when your subscription and EA fees are due for payment.
For new members there is also a charge for Club Kit which is £45, giving an overall total of £158.

RESULTS
Just to clarify, that the results I publish can be different to those that are shown on the Power of 10. The differences relate to seasons and personal best performances, as certain Indoor and Outdoor performances/times are totally different for some type of events. The same applies to our Master athletes, as on the Power of 10 any season and personal best performances relate to when they become Masters (35+), I show their performances based on their current 5 year age-groups.

REQUEST FROM TEAM MANAGERS – We are asking that you reply to team managers when they contact you? It’s very difficult to select a team if the athletes don’t reply especially when we can see that they have read the text. Even if they are unavailable the team managers need to know!

WINTER TRAINING SESSIONS – CLYDE GORDON advised me that the sessions restarted on Monday 3 November. Please let him know whether you wish to attend – clydeg67@hotmail.co.uk

Sessions – Mondays 7.00pm to 8.30pm will be for those interested in High Jump – Wednesdays 7.00pm to 8.30pm will be for those interested in Long/Triple Jump.
Dress in layers, ready to train, we meet in the Indoor Track about halfway down.

CHANGE TO STONEX STADIUM MEMBERSHIP – To use the StoneX Stadium facilities for training, SBH members are required to pay a fee. You can register as a member (which is free) which then entitles you to a discount. This is the link to the form to apply for membership – SBH StoneX Membership 24-07-25
EMMA GOUGE who is the Stadium Athletics and SBH Co-Ordinator had advised me that any athletes coming outside the usual Tuesday and Thursday that they can tap and go with the sum up machine in West reception or scan the QR code, which they will find on the pedestrian gate on entry. We would remind you that athletes should not come through the clubhuse without paying the entry fee. This gets picked up, not only by other athletes that pay, and find it very frustrating and unfair, but also by Saracens security system which can result in a fine, and a ban from using the facility.

GEORGE HARRISON MBE MEMORIAL DOCUMENT – The document has been put together with contributors from LISA WEBB, MARTIN ROCHFORD, NADEEM SHAIKH, RACHEL FELTON, LIAM and JAMIE DEE, JAMES LOVELL, EMILIA ECONOMU, ALAN WELLER, KAREN HARRISON, TIM UNDERHILL, GLEN WATTS, JOANNA WINFIELD, SHAUN CLIFFORD and EUAN MACKENZIE – Shaftesbury Barnet Harriers Memorial To George Harrison From Friends And Members 20 April 2023

CODES OF CONDUCT – SBH have now adopted the UK Athletics (UKA) and the Home Country Athletics Federations (HCAF) Codes of Conduct which set out national standards of conduct for all clubs, coaches, officials, volunteers and athletes in the sport. The purpose of the codes are to clarify what behaviours are acceptable and unacceptable, the standards of practice expected and the basis for challenging and improving practice. The Codes are similar to our previous Codes of Conduct which were part of the previous ClubMark scheme. All club member and anyone undertaking a relevant role must agree to abide by the codes of conduct. The Codes of Conduct have now been put onto our Website, please read these to understand the commitments you are making by being a member of SBH.

CURRENT DISTRIBUTION OF SHAFTESBURY INFORMATION – Currently I notify members (by email) using “MailChimp”. The reason I changed, was in November 2017 “Gmail” put a limit of 100 addresses that users could send to in a 24-hour period, and currently I send to approximately 850 members each issue.

On seeking technical advice “MailChimp” was recommended as the best way for SBH to go forward. There is one thing you should be aware off is that when you receive an email from me, the footer at the bottom has 4 options, of which one is “Unsubscribe Me From List”. Could I ask you not to select this as if you do you will be automatically removed from my distribution list.

EMMANOUIL KARALIS GOES No.2 ALL-TIME WITH 6.17M POLE VAULT – The following article was published on the Athletics Weekly website recently.

Only MONDO DUPLANTIS has gone higher than the Greek athlete after great performance at his national champs in Athens. EMMANOUIL KARALIS next head to head with MONDO DUPLANTIS will be highly anticipated after the Greek pole vaulter cleared (6.17m) at his national championships in Paiania, Athens, on Saturday 28 February.

.It is a height only DUPLANTIS has beaten with his (6.30m) world record, which was set at the World Championships in Tokyo last September. “MANOLO” KARALIS, as he is called, is the reigning European indoor champion and now the No.2 vaulter in history after beating the best vaults by athletes such as RENAUD LAVILLENIE and SERGEY BUBKA. His PB before this weekend was (6.08m) from 2025.

The 26-year-old had cleared a world lead of (6.07m) on his first attempt, but put the bar up to (6.17m), going over at his second attempt, before later making two attempts at a (6.31m) world record. “I don’t know what’s going on guys! I’m living a dream, don’t wake me up!” he said. “I’m very happy. I managed to make one of my dreams come true here in Paiania, the home of athletics.” Jumping in front of around 2500 spectators, he added: “I’m happy. All the people I love came, they were here and… yes, right now I just can’t believe what’s happened, because I’m chasing the next one. But I’m fine. I have a team that believes in me a lot, sometimes more than I do.

“Okay, I didn’t jump (at 6.31m) because I was tired, but I set the bar for a world record, so I’m happy about that. I can’t imagine at all that I surpassed RENAUD LAVILLENIE and SERGEY BUBKA. It was definitely something I always wanted to do, we believed in it, I said it to myself, but achieving it is something very great.” KARALIS and DUPLANTIS are due to meet for the first time this year at the Mondo Classic in Uppsala, Sweden, on March 12 ahead of the World Athletics Indoor Championships in Torun from March 20-22.

THE HISTORY OF CROSS COUNTRY RUNNING – The following article was published on the Athletics Weekly website recently. Photographs taken by MARK SHEARMAN

Of all forms of running, cross country arguably remains the most elemental. Away from the roads and synthetic tracks, it’s a return to nature. While running itself stretches back to antiquity, cross-country competitions only emerged in early 19th century England. Their origins lie in the Victorian public school system. In 1819, students at Shrewsbury School, barred from forming a fox-hunting club, created their own alternative: a running club that mimicked the chase on foot. Two boys acted as “hares” or “foxes”, setting off ahead and dropping paper scraps as a trail, while the rest – the “hounds” – gave chase across the countryside. ANDREW HUTCHINSON, author of the definitive history of cross-country, described it as a sport born “out of imitation” – boys imitating their fathers hunting. By the mid-19th century, these “hare-and-hound” races had spread across schools and universities and the first national schools cross-country championships were held on December 7, 1867. Notwithstanding, the famous cross-country event at Rugby School (“The Crick Run”), described in THOMAS HUGHES’S immensely popular TOM BROWN’S Schooldays (1857), is thought to date to the late 1830s.

Cross country also found a home within London’s rowing community. During the winter months, members of the Thames Rowing Club began running on Wimbledon Common to stay fit. These events became formalised in 1868, and the club’s founder, Walter Rye, later became the first president of the English Cross Country Union in 1883. After the run, members enjoyed beer and “sing-song”, a tradition upheld by many running clubs today. The first national cross-country championship was held in 1876 at Buckhurst Hill in Epping Forest in north London. This event proved so chaotic that, according to reports, everyone got lost in the cold depths of the forest. When one wretched individual finally made it back to headquarters, his body was rubbed with brandy in an attempt to warm him. “But personally,” he admitted, “I thought internal application would be better and I snatched the glass.” A year later, at Roehampton, a properly marked course brought order, and this is generally recognised as the true starting point of the championships, since the previous race had been declared void. In 1883, the National Cross Country Union was formed, staging its first official National the following year at Sutton Coldfield, with hosting duties rotating between the northern, midlands and southern associations.

Cross country soon spread beyond Britain. It reached the United States by 1878 and developed formal structures there by the 1890s through national and collegiate championships. The first international cross-country championship took place in France in 1898, followed by the founding of the International Cross-Country Union (ICCU) in 1903. Inter-Counties Cross Country. Whilst many athletes used the cross-country season to build strength and stamina for their own specialised events, others dedicated themselves solely to cross country. As SEBASTIAN COE said, cross-country became the “bedrock of endurance running”.

Cross country briefly featured on the Olympic programme in 1912, 1920 and 1924, before being dropped after the infamous Paris race. Run over 10 km in a searing heatwave, the event turned into both an ordeal and a spectacle. Only 15 of the 38 starters finished and eight needed stretchers. Officials and spectators were aghast. The legendary “Flying Finn” PAAVO NURMI weathered the conditions and claimed victory by just over a minute. After the Second World War, the ICCU Championships became increasingly global, with nations such as South Africa (1962), New Zealand (1965) and the USA (1966) joining the fold. The event soon established itself as the world’s premier annual footrace, bringing together the best milers, steeplechasers, marathoners and road runners on a single, unforgiving course.

The terrain itself became part of the spectacle – from the sandy tracks of Rabat in 1975 to the precipitous, mud-laden course at Glasgow in 1978. In 1967, women were finally admitted to international competition at the championships in Wales, marking a significant step forward for the sport. The IAAF World Cross Country Championships began on March 17, 1973 in Belgium, replacing the ICCU era and formally marking the sport’s transition into the modern international age. A decisive shift came in 1981, when Ethiopia and Kenya entered teams for the first time. Their impact was immediate and lasting. In 1986, Kenya’s JOHN NGUGI captured the nation’s first senior men’s title, and in 1994 HELEN CHIPRIGENO delivered its first senior women’s crown.

IAN STEWART leads during the 1972 World Cross Country Championships in Cambridge. What followed was an era of African dominance. Kenyan men swept the podium in 1988, and in 2010 the country achieved one of the most comprehensive clean sweeps in athletics history, winning all four individual races and all four team titles. Other nations also emerged as major forces. Uganda, in particular, signalled a new competitive balance in 2019 by finishing one-two in the senior men’s race and collecting further individual and team medals across the championships. Some runners have taken the idea of cross country to the nth degree, traversing entire countries and continents, a testament to the sport’s enduring appeal and versatility. Today, cross country is a global phenomenon, with dozens of nations regularly showcasing talent on the world stage. Its name, originally “cross-countryside”, nods to its pastoral origins, yet modern courses now range from rolling rural fields to urban parklands, racecourses and lesser-known regional towns such as Bathurst in Australia (2023), which arguably hosted one of the toughest courses. The sport’s adaptability, combining endurance, strategy and connection with the natural environment, ensures it continues to capture the imagination of runners of all ages and abilities. Far from fading, cross country remains a vibrant and accessible test of fitness, resilience, and spirit.

RENEE REGIS WINS BRITISH INDOOR 200M WITH GOLDEN FAMILY MOMENT – The following article was published on the Athletics Weekly website recently.

The 20-year-old breaks MERLENE OTTEY’S championship record while AMBER ANNING settles for British indoor 400m bronze. The second day of the UK Indoor Athletics Championships in Birmingham (February 15) had a heart warming twist when RENEE REGIS was presented with her gold medal in the 200m by none other than her father, JOHN REGIS — the former world indoor 200m champion.

Regis entered the 200m final as the favourite after a stunning (22.89) run in the semi-finals, which set a new championship record. The previous record of (23.07) had stood since 1990, held by the legendary MERLENE OTTEY.

In the final, REGIS didn’t just win; she powered away from the field with an impressive (22.95), finishing comfortably ahead. HANNAH BRIER claimed silver in (23.37), while BROOKE IRONSIDE secured bronze with a time of (23.92). “I didn’t expect to run that fast in the semi-final,” said REGIS. “My coaches told me to commit, so that’s exactly what I did. “It was funny seeing my dad present me with the medal. He didn’t tell me he was going to do that, but it made the moment even more special.” The emotional family moment was just one of many highlights on a day that saw plenty of drama unfold on the track.

SCOTT LINCOLN CLAIMS NATIONAL TITLE NO.21 IN BIRMINGHAM – The following article was published on the Athletics Weekly website recently.

Shot putter throws 20.80m to win another gold to add to his huge collection at the Novuna UK Indoor Championships in Birmingham. SCOTT LINCOLN arrived back in rainswept Britain on Friday from his sunny new training base in Melbourne, Australia, with the goal of winning his 21st national title in Birmingham on Sunday (Feb 15). He succeeded with ease as he threw a best of (20.80m) with PATRICK SWAN taking silver with (17.12m) and DILLON CLAYDON bronze with (16.87m).

He would love to win a medal at next month’s World Indoor Championships, plus of course the European Champs and Commonwealth Games this summer. Most of all, he would like to take down the long-time British record of (21.68m) held by GEOFF CAPES. Such are his high standards, he wasn’t happy with his performance in Birmingham and hopes to improve in the two competitions he has planned – one indoors, one outdoors – before the World Indoors.

“I am so frustrated right now,” he said. “I have just come off a flight from Australia – it’s no excuse because I chose to come in at this time. I felt pretty good but I couldn’t quite hit the top gear today. It shows consistency but it is frustratingly close and hopefully in the next couple of weeks I can find it before the worlds. “I have just got to control the competition excitement now. I am ready to go with everything else. No matter how old you are, how many British titles you have won, you still get excited for these events.” LINCOLN admitted he was stoked up with caffeine to try to combat the jetlag and also lift himself ahead of throwing. But it didn’t quite click this weekend. “My set up now is all about me and being ready for those majors,” he said. “I just have to be controlled and everything else will take care of itself. We are targeting a big throw at the worlds and these competitions are good little pointers to see where we are, so we will build from here.”

Shaftesbury Barnet Harriers Weekly Newsletter Thursday 5 February 2026

Posted on 04/02/202605/02/2026 by sbharriers

Happy Birthday from Thursday 5 February to Wednesday 11 February – Emma Ania, Ayotunde Alfonso, Philip Cunningham, Carole Harris, Abdirahim Hamud, Chinwe Iwunze, Alexander Lepretre, Michael Ohioze, Eleanor Roberts, Daniel Seechan, Callum Sydenham and Glen Quayle

TIME TO MOVE ON – At the start of January I made a decision to end my role as SBH Website Manager and Newsletter Editor. It was a very hard decision to make, but at my age I felt I needed to spend more time with my Family and Children.
Both the Website and Newsletter eats up untold hours (the summer is very time consuming), especially the Website which has so many documents to update.
As I say I will finish my role on 31 March (final Newsletter on 26 March). I am sure the club will provide me with a statement to publish in the Newsletter, outlining the future of the SBH Website and Newsletter from 1 April.

On a personal note I joined the club on 6 February 1984 (almost 42 years). I was not arunner, but played football. In 1982 I had Asthma quite bad, and luckily Guys Hospital cured it. A year went by and my Doctor recommended I should start being more active. At the time we were living in Harrow, and someone mentioned to me why not start jogging, and I found out there was a group of athletes that train from Bannister Stadium in Harrow..

It was a Tuesday evening in February I ventured up to Bannister Stadium, and in the changing room their was problably a dozen of so athletes, mainly from SBH. Two of those were JOHN BROE now living in Australia and MARTIN GREY who to this day trains regularily. The route was 10k, which I new, which I reached the stadium I was surprised that it was still open!!!!!

After around 6 months I signed on the dotted line, and a few days later I received that famous Black & White Striped vest. The winter season was some 3 months away, and i was persuaded by BRENDAN GALLAGHER who had taken on the mantle of Metropolitan League team manager. I found the courses tough, but was pleased that around me there were many Black & White Striped vests, which included DAVE DOUGHERTY and JOHN KIRK. I found the team spirit and during this period we had some 30-40 Senior athletes running, also during the the race there were many of our Young Athletes around the course cheering us on.

Not sure of the year, but BRENDAN asked whether I would consider being the Veteran Men Team Manager, to be honest we had quite a few veterans, who were only too willing to turnout for cross country and road relay races. There were two who acted as my assistant, REG BLACK and JONATHAN KILSBY and were responsible for the success and team spirit we had.

Moving on from this role and injury problems, I began my role with pen/paper and a computer, and one of the backbone of the club were the quaterly magazines, this is the history of the SBH magazines;
The first issue of the Shaftesbury Harriers magazine, was introduced/produced by Shaftesbury stalwart HAROLD ASHTON in 1949 and he wemt on to produce 168 editions of the quarterly magazine. HAROLD was Club President from 1953-1962 and 1988-1990 and his untimely death, following a short illness was in 1992.
Following in his footsteps was a hard act to follow – GEOFF MORPHITIS become temporary editor in 1992, following by IRENE PEATY, BRYAN SMITH, JIM CUNNINGHAM and MYSELF who produced the magazine until 2010.
I started what is now the SBH Weekly Newsletter on 3 October 2011, the first Newsletter to be published on the SBH Website was on 26 August 2013. All Newsletters from then until the current edition can be found in the ‘News Archived’ section on the SBH Website.
I have in my possession a large amount of HAROLD’S magazines, also many other documents and photographs, with some items going back some 120 years. I believe the Club are looking at a a way of storing/displaying these and other items in StoneX Stadium.

One of my proudest moments, was becoming Club President from 2017-2020, and the icing on the cake was that I took over the Presidency from SBH stalwart DAVE BEDFORD.

It is my intention in the coming Summer months, to go to a EYAL and NAL meeting, a meeting many of our talented athletes we have. and in the Winter a Metropolitan League and Road Relay fixtures.

POWER OF 10 – Is still offline after being taken down on 17 January. This is statement that is currently on the UKA/British athletics website

The Power of 10, the UK’s most popular athletics rankings and results website, is taking a break for a couple of weeks, and will be temporarily offline as it completes its transition to a brand-new digital platform.
This short pause is a planned and essential part of finalising the move to the new website. No results or athlete data will be lost during this period. Performances will continue to be collected and securely collated while the site is offline and will be fully visible once the new platform goes live later this month. Its sister site www.runbritainrankings.com will also go offline for the same period.
When The Power of 10 returns, users can expect a fresh new look alongside improved functionality and performance, delivered through a more robust platform designed to support the sport long-term. The site will retain the features and depth of data that athletes, coaches, officials and fans know and value, while also introducing a number of enhancements aimed at improving the overall user experience.
In addition, the data and functionality of the runbritainrankings site will be integrated into The Power of 10 creating an exciting one-stop-shop for athletics and running in the UK.
Darren Bennett, CEO of The Power of 10, said: “A huge amount of work has been taking place behind the scenes throughout the year, and we’re now in the final stages of moving to our new platform. The site will be back online very soon with everything users know and love, alongside a number of added extras. And it won’t stop there — once we’re live, we’ll continue to build and evolve the site, adding further functionality over time to make The Power of 10 even better for the athletics community.”

The Power of 10 would like to thank users for their patience and support during this transition. Further updates, including confirmation of the relaunch date, will be shared soon.

Keep an eye on our Power of 10 channels for updates and highlights throughout the indoor season!

This is the statement on England Athletics on the changes PO10 are making to their rankings section, to incorporate the age-group changes from the 1 April, which are the U11, U13, U15,and U17 age-groups change to U12, U14, U16 and U18 age-groups.

Records and Rankings Changes To The PO10:
U12 and U10 athletes will have profiles but will not appear in ranking lists.
Historical ranking lists for the current age groups will be retained.
All time lists for the current age groups will be retained up to 1 April 2026.
From 1 April 2026 new ranking lists will be published for the new age groups.
All time lists for the new age groups will be published from 1 April 2026.

Competition providers and/or other bodies may include historical best performances in the new age group all time lists if they so wish. The competition provider, club or Association will have the ability to determine their own stance on record keeping based on their own individual need.

THE FIRST LONG SERVICE MEETING OF THE YEAR – Some of the longer serving members of Shaftesbury Barnet Harriers had a small get together in the Essex Arms in Watford on 21 January. PHILIP CUNNINGHAM said it was great to catch up with TONY SUNDERLAND and BRYAN SMITH who both joined SBH on 10th May 1954 – 71 years ago. Only BRENDA ATKINSON has been a member longer (1951). Others present were ROGER SIMONS (1958), GEOFF MORPHITIS (1964), DAVE BEDFORD (1964), MARTIN GREY (1967), PHILIP CUNNINGHAM (1973) and JOHN KELLY (1979).

It was good to reminisce on many topics – some of JOYCES (JOYCE SMITH) wins (particularly when women could only run 800m), BRYAN organising numerous prestige events, trying to guess how many points NEVILLE THOMPSON won in the BAL (bet few if anyone in the country has won more), MARTINS short dalliance with TVH, DAVE saying he was SBH Club Champion in the High Jump as a young athlete (he was the only competitor) and what TONY eats to keep looking so young! It was also an informal occasion to thank GEOFF for the input he has made to SBH over the last 50 odd years – it would be easier to list what he hasn’t done rather than what he has done for the Club!

Shaftesbury Barnet Harriers Weekly Newsletter Thursday 22 January 2026

Posted on 18/01/202625/01/2026 by sbharriers

Happy Birthday from Thursday 22 January to Wednesday 28 January – Charly Doyon, Emilia Economu, Suraya Frost, Jade Ive, Michael Nicholls and John Otugade

NEW CLUB INDOOR RECORD – Congratulations to STACEY GONZALES V50 who set a new Masters Women 50-59 Indoor 3kg Shot Put Record with (9.03mi) at the London U20/Senior Indoor Games at Lee Valley on 7 December. Her previous Club Record was (8.86mi) at the Lee Valley Indoor Open Meeting on 7 December.

SHAFTESBURY BARNET HARRIERS SUBSCRIPTIONS – The current SBH annual subscription is £90 (following the 2025 SBH AGM) and the current England Athletics annual registration from 1 April 2025 is £20. The current total is £110 and you will be advised via the SBH Membermojo system, when your subscription and EA fees are due for payment.
For new members there is also a charge for Club Kit which is £45, giving an overall total of £155.

Note: The ‘Power of 10’ Has been offline since last Thursday 15 January. This was the press release – Power of 10 will be offline for a couple of weeks, as it “completes its transition to a brand-new digital platform”, UKA has announced. Users “can expect a fresh new look alongside improved functionality and performance, delivered through a more robust platform designed to support the sport long-term”. The press release confirms “no results or athlete data will be lost during this period”. As part of the change, the runbritainrankings site will be integrated into Power of 10.

I believe they will be updating their ‘Rankings’ section, to be ready to incorporate the age-group changes, which take affect from 1 Apil 2026.
