NEW OFFICIAL ANDY HOWELL We are very pleased to congratulate ANDY (father of U15B NATHAN) on his recent accreditation as a Level 1 Track Judge.

ANDY was one of the parents who joined this year’s initiative of giving formal instruction for officiating during training evenings at StoneX.    We organised an experienced official to provide the Assistant Track and Field Officials course over two evenings in April at the stadium. We had realised that parents are generally keen to help out at matches, but that a degree of instruction and organisation is required, especially when athletics has to be fitted in with family life. On the other hand it is becoming increasingly difficult to organise matches unless help with the officiating can be found.

This year’s initiative can best be described as a learning experience – not least because we believe that the present UKA arrangements for training officials need to be reviewed to take account of the practicalities of present day life. It has also been difficult dealing with the bureaucracy of getting accreditation. Both of these matters are presently under discussion between ourselves and England Athletics. We are aiming to be able to instruct parents with our own officials at any time at StoneX, and to give them a better knowledge than in the present courses. So we are very appreciative of the other parents who attended these courses and who have been helping out at matches during the season.  We are going to progress their accreditation during the remainder of the season.

ANDY had cleared some of the bureaucratic hurdles before April and was well set up to progress to the Level 1 Track Judge course (on-line) during May. He is one of three of us who did courses, but he is the first to complete the requisite experience for accreditation. Beyond that we are extremely grateful to Track Referees DANIEL SEECHAN and STUART PUGH for mentoring ANDY at the matches he attended. It was soon apparent that the real education took place at the actual matches. They also advised us that ANDY was quite ready to apply for accreditation when he had completed the minimum number of matches – he was that good a learner. We also appreciated that a lot more is needed to become a proficient Track Referee, but we are on our way.

Although it will probably not be possible to do more formal training this year, if anyone else thinks that they would like to help, then please contact davidnbradley@btopenworld.com and I will keep you informed about the situation. So, congratulations again, and we look forward to further success for the HOWELL family, on and beside the track.

CAN YOU HELP PLEASEI would welcome any contributions From Yourselves, any impending marriages, or additions to the family, any running or competing incidents, also past warm weather training/holidays (No Club 24 please). Currently the response has been excellent, but if you have anything that could make it into next week’s Newsletter – please email me.

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.
