THE OTHER SIDE TO RUNNINGFINN HARVEY U13 is the captain of Belmont Preparatory School, Mill Hill football team. Last week-end was the 16th Annual Independent National Soccer Sixes Tournament which took place at Chigwell School. This was the National Final with all the winners from the regions in the Country. In the preliminary round Belmont defeated Millfield School, then Dulwich College in the semi- final. The final they were up against Summer Fields from Oxford and came out on top winning 4-1. Finn who plays midfield duly collected the cup.

LOOK OUT ANDY MURRAYNATHAN FERNANDES who is 13 years old has been keeping himself very busy, as besides running his other passion is tennis and he recently won the overall Hadley Wood Tennis Club senior singles title and with his partner Alex Carter won the senior doubles title.

POSSIBLE CLOSURE OF TOOTING BEC RUNNING TRACK – We have requested if we would consult our members regarding the closure.

The response to our petition from local residents and users of the track has been overwhelming. In less than a week we have collected hundreds of signatures, and support is increasing all the time.

The track is a real community asset, used by schools, running groups, exercise classes and so many more. I’ve been a keen user of the track myself for many years, from when I was a student at the local primary and secondary school to when I was training for the London Marathon! By signing this petition you have shown your support for protecting the track, and making sure it remains affordable and open to everyone in our community.

In order to demonstrate the level of support we have, we are going to need to collect lots more signatures – and that’s where you come in, however much time you have to spare…  Take 1 minute and click on these links to share our petition with your friends on Twitter and Facebook 

Take 3 minutes to forward the petition to 5 friends or neighbours

We’re also busy collecting signatures in the local area – if you can spare 30 minutes email me direct at sadiqkhanmp@parliament.uk for details.
