NORTH LONDON AQUATICS – Here’s a request from our Club Treasurer, GEOFF MORPHITIS, asking you to support a local charity.
Please read the following urgent message from our friends at North London Aquatics. I’ve pledged an amount in support of their fund-raising which will only be taken up if the target is met. The vast majority of our members live within a couple of miles of the facility and you all have friends who live locally. So please support this initiative for the benefit of all members of the local community. As they say, it’s not just the size of the pledge but more importantly the number of you who support this once in a lifetime initiative. Thanks.
Dear All – Can you help us build a deep water inclusive pool with over FIFTY aquatic activities at the new Barnet Copthall Sports Centre in Mill Hill.
Please, please watch our video below by Middlesex University students and narrated by Joanna Lumley! https://youtu.be/7l1Ujd8Ijow
Please pledge £2, £5 or whatever you wish towards our crowdfunding campaign. We pitch to the Mayor of London in October and need as many pledges as possible prior to that.
When you’ve pledged please forward onto your contacts and leave us a message on the Spacehive page: www.spacehive.com/north-London-Aquatics
Thanks everyone! We really, really appreciate it!

British Female – JOYCE SMITH sensationally winning the 1972 International title, she was then runner-up to Italy’s PAOLA CACCHI in the first ever IAAF World Championships in 1973.

GENDER EQUALITY FOR INTER-COUNTIES RACE DISTANCE – The following article was published in the 28 September issue of Athletics Weekly.
Senior men and women will run the same distance of 10km at the UK Inter-Counties Championships in Prestwold Hall, Loughborough, on 9 March.
The event doubles as the British Athletics Cross Challenge final and trial for the IAAF World Cross Country Championships in Aarhus and, the organisers are adjusting the races from the usual distances of 12km for men and 8km for women.
The Saucony English National Cross Country Championships has come under pressure in the last 12 months to also reduce its distances, however a poll of athletes at this year’s event showed most runners wished to continue racing the traditional distances, with fears that the size of the women’s field might be hit if the distance was increased.
DOHA 2019 ONE YEAR TO GO – The following article was published on the Athletics Weekly website recently, 27 September 2018.
Organisers unveil the upgraded Khalifa International Stadium with revolutionary cooling system and ticketing programme to mark 365 days to go until the IAAF World Championships
The organising committee for next year’s IAAF World Championships in Doha, Qatar, opened the doors to the upgraded Khalifa International Stadium in Aspire Zone on Thursday to celebrate the one year to go milestone.
The stadium, with its state-of-the-art sustainable cooling system, was showcased, while the ticketing programme was also unveiled for the event which will take place from September 27 to October 6 2019.
“Today is a very important day in our readiness preparations,” said vice president and director general of the IAAF World Championships local organising committee and vice president of the IAAF, DAHLAN AL HAMAD.
“Everything is in place including a growing excitement and energy amongst the local community. In hosting the first ever IAAF World Athletics Championships in the Middle East, we have a shared vision and commitment in partnering with the IAAF, to grow participation of this wonderful sport across Qatar, the region and the world.
“To have such an ambition requires innovative, creative and bold thinking,” he added. “That is why an exciting new schedule exists with new formats. That’s why this stadium has cooling technology and why we want our young athletes and our local community to experience it live for themselves. That’s why we will introduce a midnight marathon. All these developments take imagination but stem from a single goal of enhancing athletics worldwide.”
The competition schedule, featuring the midnight marathon and 4x400m mixed relay, was revealed earlier this year.
While the temperature outside the stadium was 37°C, inside the conditions were set to 24-26°C. “The Global Sustainability Assessment System (GSAS) certified stadium, which will also host 2022 FIFA World Cup matches, is ready to play host to the 2019 Asian Athletics Championships in April 2019, the official test event for the IAAF World Athletics Championships later in the year,” organisers added.
Fans were encouraged to register their interest in tickets at iaafworldathleticschamps.com/doha2019/tickets to ensure they receive information, alerts and reminders for when tickets go on sale in November. Ticket options include “traditional Arab cushioned Majlis seating”, finish line seats, “taster options” priced at 14 EURO / 60 QAR and family and group discounts.
Commenting on one year to go, IAAF president SEBASTIAN COE said: “Qatar has been hosting official IAAF events for over 21 years and in the organising committee we have a trusted partner who is committed to delivering a World Athletics Championship which makes a real difference to the world of athletics.

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