ADVANCE NOTICE FOR ALL ATHLETES AND COACHES WHO USE ALLIANZ PARK – Saracens have qualified for a home quarter final in the European Champions Cup on Saturday 9 April against Northampton with KO at 17.45.  As a condition of this match taking place at Allianz Park, Saracens need to increase the maximum capacity from 10,000 to 15,000 to meet the criteria outlined by European Professional Club Rugby (EPCR). Saracens have obtained Barnet Council approval and as a result the two stands of temporary seating at the North and South ends of the Stadium will be enlarged. During the period Monday 28 March through to Friday 15 April there will be disruption to availability of the bends and users will be restricted to access to the home straight and back straight, together with the pitch and the indoor area. The external jumps and throws areas remain unaffected. Saracens recognise the inconvenience and disruption this may cause some of you in the lead up to our first round of fixtures on Sunday 17 April and are appreciative of your understanding during this window. Richard Gregg | Stadium Director 

CONGRATULATIONS TO DAN BRAMBLE – Following his outstanding win in the British Championships, DAN has been selected to compete for GB&NI in the Long Jump at the World Indoor Championships in Portland, Oregon on the 17-20 March. 

JADE LALLY’S 3 ASTONISHING DAYS – Congratulations to JADE who took apart her personal best twice, firstly in Auckland, New Zealand on 25 February she threw (64.22m), and then in Sydney, Australia on 27 February she threw (65.10m).

In Auuckland JADE’S series of 6 attempts, included 2 throws over 63m and 2 throws over 64m, with her best throw (64,22m) coming in the second round. Following the competition JADE tweeted “Oh my word. What a competition! Training had been going well but two 63m and two 64m throws?! Whhhhaaattt?!! I’m a 64m thrower!! Ahhhhh!!”

2 Days later JADE arrived in Sydney and with her 2nd attempt broke through the 65m barrier. I contacted JADE after Sydney, and she commented “The past couple of days have been crazy. It’s just gone mad! So, so mad! “, and she is now travelling to compete in Melbourne , before flying home to the UK.

JADE is now UK No.1 and also moves her up to No.2 on the British all-time list, and last but not least has achieved the British qualification distance for Rio of (61.00m). Her own Club Record of (60.76m) was set at Copthall on 9 July 2011.

START FITNESS METROPOLITAN LEAGUE – The fifth fixture of five took place last Saturday at Alexandra Palace. The course was extremely muddy, and the weather had a chill but reasonably bright.

Firstly a big thanks to all our Athletes, Parent, Team Managers and Officials who over the past 5 months have endured a somewhat wet period.

We showed on Saturday the strength in depth Shaftesbury’s Young Athletes have, as after the 4th fixture we were in 5th place in the Howard Williams Junior Trophy (which is based upon the U13 & U15/U17 Boys/Girls team positions). With the Under 13 Boys and the Under 15/17 Women having outstanding team wins, also solid performances from the Under 13 Girls (6th place) and Under 15/17 Boys (3rd place) we finished up winning the Trophy for the THIRD YEAR IN SUCCESSION. You will see below that there was one point between the top four teams, but we won based on our 5 team wins over the five fixtures.

The Howard Williams Senior Trophy for Men & Women combined saw us finished in fifth place.

Individually we had 2 winners, LUCA STUBBS (U13) and GABRIELLA KYRIACOU (U17). There were top 5 finishes from DYLAN MICHEL (U13) 4th, SARAH BUTLER (U15) 2nd, FINN HARVEY (U15) 2nd, GEORGE GROOM (U17) 2nd and VICTORIA PRITCHARD (Senior Women) 4th

GEORGE HARRISON MBE – THE STORY SO FAR – I was given this book for Christmas and I recommend it to all our members. The book is in 2 parts. The first part is the history of George from his early days as a talented runner and how he coped with the work/running balance through to his coaching exploits at St Albans School and the many SBH members he turned into champions. In the second half he provides the reader with many of his coaching secrets with detailed sessions which are a must for any aspiring endurance coach. We are very lucky to have had George associated with this Club, not only  as its leading and most successful endurance coach over the last 40 years but also as a young athlete team manager on both Track and Field and Cross Country / Road. George is also a former President of the Club. The book is available on Amazon at £2.75. Buy it NOW.

SHAFTESBURY BARNET HARRIERS 125 YEARS ANNIVERSARY DINNER – A really enjoyable evening was had by 200 of our club members on Saturday in celebrating our 125th Anniversary.  It was great to see old friends and also see our next generation of club athletes.  Our President, DAVE BEDFORD gave a speech which did start a bit risqué as you might expect.  He talked a bit about our history and how good we all thought we were when we had our 100 year Anniversary but that we had now reached an even higher level and are clearly the best club in country!  He did make a particular reference to ALAN WELLER who keeps us all informed of the results of the club and its members through his excellent weekly newsletter but wasn’t able to be present for the dinner.  A signed copy of Emil Zatopek book was presented to GEORGE GROOM, our U15 National Cross Country Champion, from our oldest club member PETER WOODSMITH.

At the end of the evening presentations were made to the club members that have recently completed 50 years membership with the club; these were MARGARET BEECHAM, GEOFF MORPHITIS, TONY PACKHAM, JULIAN GOATER, DAVE BEDFORD and RICHARD BOBER.  Further presentations of SEAA 40 years’ long service awards for club members that have assisted with the club/SEAA duties (officials, club committees, helpers etc but including time just as athletes). 

Recipients were: BRYAN SMITH, JOYCE SMITH, GERRY ELMORE, ROGER SIMONS, DAVE BEDFORD, GEOFF MORPHITIS and TONY SUNDERLAND, with the biggest cheer of the evening, to TONY SMITH. There were many photographs taken, and we will advise you all on how they will be circulated. A big thank you to all those that organised the meeting.
