UPDATE ON NEELAM KADERBHOY  I’m still at the home in Borehamwood. I’m going to be here for some time. The staff are lovely day and night and I’m able to relax and be at peace. I am stable at the moment. I do my exercises and walking daily. Any little improvement to me is great. So, I carry on and stay positive and patient and strong.
I’ve thought long and hard and under my current circumstances I have to stand down from Team Management of the Middlesex League. I don’t have enough energy or fitness or confidence or concentration to do a whole day and travelling and then to do corrections before submitting.
Like I say, it has been a hard decision to make, but it is the right decision going forward. I am sad. But that’s life!!! Yours in sports NEELAM.

From her Brother IMTIAZNEELAM is in good spirits, despite her ongoing daily challenges, loves receiving all of your messages and gifts. Unfortunately, due to current COVID-19 restrictions, we are unable to see NEELAM, but we pray that once lockdown is finished we will see her again.
For all of you wanting to send her cards etc, please send to the nursing home, as she will be there for the foreseeable future. Forest Care Village, 20 Cardinal Ave, Borehamwood, WD6 1EP

ATHLETES SEIZE THE CHANCE TO REACH EUROPEAN STANDARDS The following article was published on the Athletics Weekly website recently.
Bryggen Sports Invitational meeting provides the stage for fast times and PBs galore in Manchester. With competition opportunities currently so scarce in the UK, a number of athletes seized on the chance to race – and achieve a European Indoor Championships qualifying time – at the Bryggen Sports Invitational in Manchester on Saturday (February 13).

In the 400m heats which opened proceedings, British indoor champion JESSIE KNIGHT got 2021 off to a winning start as she came from behind to beat Olympian JODIE WILLIAMS in what was a tight battle. KNIGHT clocked (52.65), inside the qualifying standard of (53:00) for next month’s continental showpiece in Torun, Poland, while WILLIAMS – running her first indoor 400m in 12 years – ran (53.24). AMA PIPI won the opening heat in (53.47).

In the women’s 1500m, HOLLY ARCHER and KATIE SNOWDEN both laid down convincing markers as they ran inside the European standard. ARCHER clocked an outright PB of (4:10.03) to take victory just in front of SNOWDEN’S (4:10.43). PIERS COPELAND finished strongly and clocked an indoor 1500m PB of (3:38.55) in the men’s race which was well within the Torun mark of (3:42.00) as ANDY BUTCHART finished second in (3:40.82).

The men’s 800m was won by KYLE LANGFORD outside of the European indoor standard (1:48.00) in (1:48.91). ELLIE BAKER won the women’s race in an indoor PB of (2:02.73) which was also a European qualifier, ahead of LOUISE SHANAHAN’S (2:03.52) and KATIE KIRK’S (2:04.49).

SBH METROPOLITAN LEAGUE STATISTICS  Part 1 All SBH Individual winners all age-groups from 1967.
Firstly, the history of how these documents were produced. In 2010 HOWARD WILLIAMS officially retired after running the Met League from its inception in 1967. On speaking to GAVIN COLLETT he had in his possession around 14 lever arch files with paper copies of every result sheet from 1967. He was going to scan each result for posterity security, I discussed this with GAVIN, and we agreed that I could replicate these on Excel Spreadsheets. Whilst doing this I also produced Spreadsheets solely reflecting the performances of SBH athletes. In 2015 JAN BOWMAN took over the role of the Metropolitan League Administrator, and she wanted some quite radical changes to the documents. I believed it was not warranted and very time consuming. I reluctantly stood down as Metropolitan League Statistician. Over the last 3 months, I have updated the documents with the past 4 year’s results.

Note – The totals of all winners are correct, but generally prior to 2000, different age-groups ran in the same race, but the results did not identify what age-group each runner was. For example, the Under 13 Boys total of 67 wins is inflated, the only way to establish the correct total, is to review each runner, using his date of birth and the year he ran (Under 13 or Under 15). This is a fairly big task, but if anyone has a few hours to spare, please let me know.

It was only up to recent years that the results published athletes christian names. I have managed to find quite a few on the Power of 10 (athletes profile), if anyone can identify those without a christian name, can they email me please.

PROCEDURES FOR USING STONEX STADIUM FROM JEREMY SOTHCOTT The Stadium is now subject to the lockdown guidelines recently set by the Government and is therefore closed to all athletes except “Elite” athletes as certified by UKA/EA.

STONEX STADIUM EAST STAND INDOOR AREA Use of this area has been prohibited whilst London is subject to National Lockdown, with the NHS now using this facility as a Covid-19 vaccination centre for a period of 4 to 12 months.

SBH SUBSCRIPTIONS 2020-2021 SBH Treasurer GEOFF MORPHITIS has sent me the following regarding subscriptions.
The Club AGM took place virtually at 19.30 on Tuesday 24 November. One of the resolutions which was passed dealt with Club Subscriptions as follows. “The Annual Membership Fee for new members from 1 December 2020 will increase to £50. Existing members who have paid their membership fee for year ended 30 September 2020 will be considered as having also paid their fee for the year ended 30 September 2021.
In other words, in recognition of the disruption caused by Covid-19, these members will have 2 years membership for the price of one.” Therefore, I’m now asking athletes who have not paid their subscription for the year ended 30/09/20 (£45) to pay, so as to qualify for the 2 for 1 concession together with the England Athletics Registration Fee of £15 for 2020/21. The total is £60 and should be paid NOW to; ACCOUNT NAME: SHAFTESBURY BARNET HARRIERS, BANK: HSBC, ACCOUNT NUMBER: 41308378, SORT CODE: 400426 – Please let me know when payment is made. Thanks GEOFF

On seeking technical advice “MailChimp” was recommended as the best way for SBH to go forward.

Could I ask you not to select this as if you do you will be automatically removed from my distribution list.
