NEW ATHLETICS STADIUM FOR BARNET COPTHALL – VERY URGENT – Due to a planned extension to the professional rugby season, which would come into full effect by 2021, athletics would not be able to start at Allianz Park until mid-July. Both Saracens and Barnet Council agree that this is untenable for both Barnet schools and SBH. At a recent meeting of the Copthall Community Sports Group, CASSIE BRIDGER (Barnet Council) presented the Copthall and Mill Hill Open Spaces masterplan update.
A period of consultation was originally undertaken by the Council between May to July 2018 on an initial draft, which broadly demonstrated the support for the proposals (for both Copthall and Mill Hill Open Spaces). However, the extension of the rugby season has required the Council to engage with National Governing Bodies of Sport and stakeholders to reflect feedback responses. This resulted in an amended design to the draft Copthall Masterplan specifically to include 2 major changes. Firstly, to accommodate a new athletics stadium and secondly, a venue and coaching centre for Middlesex County Cricket.
The revision to the design maintains the long-term vision for the site, which seeks to provide traditional and non-traditional opportunities with the ability to deliver a range of benefits for residents.
The Council are now consulting on this final draft masterplan for Barnet Copthall specifically and welcome feedback on the proposal. The consultation will be live from now until 17 May 2019. https://engage.barnet.gov.uk/Cophall-Masterplan-phase2-2019 Please take a few minutes to follow the link and to look at the proposals and submit your feedback.
Thanks, DAVID BEDFORD and BRYAN SMITH (SBH nominated representatives)

SHAFTESBURY QUARTERLY MAGAZINE ARTICLE, SEPTEMBER AND DECEMBER 1969 – In December last year I wrote about the history of the SBH Magazine, in which I have copies back to September 1969. Today’s article commences with extracts from the September and December 1969 issues. The December issue was the first one that HAROLD ASHTON had volunteered to be the magazine editor.
The opening page covered comments from our Club President CHARLES HARRISON, firstly congratulating DAVE BEDFORD on his recent performances and receiving his colours for Great Britain. Last season we were placed in al Middlesex Championships – let’s go better this season, the team were the first winners of the North of the Thames Youths Championships.
The AGM scheduled for Friday 24 October took place at the Henry Burden Hall, Hendon close to the Town Hall, also on 4 April is the Club Dinner and Dance at the Hendon Way Hotel.
ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR FOR THE YEAR 1968-1969 – Produced by our Secretary DONALD LEE.
CROSS COUNTRY – We fielded teams in all age-groups throughout the season, our team and individual performances were all overshadowed by the string of successes by DAVE BEDFORD. In the Middlesex Championships with our three teams winning medals, the Juniors and Seniors finishing 2nd and the Youths 3rd. Featuring in the Youths team were STEVE BOND, DICK BOBER and JULIAN GOATER.
TRACK AND FIELD – The season started well winning both trophies at the Watford meeting. It was pleasing to see Shaftesbury in all age-groups at the Middlesex Championships, with wins for HUGH RICHARDS and STEVE BOND. There were new Southern Championship records set by DAVE BEDFORD U23 in the 5000m (13:42.8) and 10,000m (28:24.4) both club records, he also set club records at the Mile (4.02.9), 1500m (3:44.9) and 2 Miles (8:42.6).
ROAD RUNNING – GERRY ELMORE and TED NOLAN headed our road race section throughout the season. Race of the season was the Shaftesbury 10 which must be rated the best ever, with 170 runners on ward, humid but dry afternoon, and the testing 3 lap course. The winner was International BILL ADCOCKS (48.18) taking 79 seconds off the 1967 record, second was a tiring DAVE BEDFORD (48.54), other Shaftesbury runners were GERRY ELMORE 6th (51.42), MARTIN GREY 11th (52.21), HUGH STARKEY 15th (53.05), TED NOLAN 52nd (56.52) and TONY SUNDERLAND 65th (58.01). Shaftesbury secured the team title with (11 points), 2nd Cambridge Harriers (26) and 3rd Belgrave Harriers (36).
ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING – Which was presided by Club President CHARLES HARRISON who was in his third year, a large number of active athletes expressed their views on many track and social matters. Club Subscriptions were reviewed and it was agreed to increase them to, Seniors £2.50, Juniors £1.25, Youths 75p, Under 15 50p. A proposal came from athletes that a fee of 5p would be payable at all club fixtures, and was carried by all. HAROLD ASHTON pointed out that this is not so different from the “bath Money” or “Dressing Room” fee that used to be collected in the 1930s.
COACHING NEWS – BRYAN SMITH reported that there was an excellent response to Shaftesbury’s first Coaching/Training day on Sunday 2 November at Copthall Stadium. Also, some members showed interest in becoming coaches, and were given details of the Southern Counties winter coaching lectures at Crystal Palace.
As a part of increasing membership, BRYAN will be organising coaching days for Youths and Boys next spring, which will be open to schools and friends of members.
CLUB BEST PERFORMANCES – After producing nineteen editions of the CBP book, HAROLD ASHTON has handed this task over to GEOFF MORPHITIS and this is his report.
Pride of place must, of course, go to DAVE BEDFORD, who now holds 12 club records, as a Youth, Junior and Senior.
I would like to take the opportunity of congratulating NEIL JOSEPH, HUGH RICHARDS, TONY GAUGHAN, DICK BOBER, MICHAEL CALDWELL, SID TURNHAM, JULIAN GOATER and BOB MEATON, who all put up some very creditable performances throughout the season.
The main problem I encountered is compiling the lists was the introduction of the metric system. Although the majority of tracks had been converted, some important meetings were still held using yards. As an aid to converting times, particularly for the mile to 1500m, I used the International Scoring Tables.
The next in the series 1970 will be published in the May newsletter.

A WARNING REGARDING OPEN MEETINGS 2019 – I spoke to 2 of the organisers of open meetings, regarding whether there was a closing date for their meeting, especially as now entries are online only. Their response was when a meeting opens on the online system, there could be a 100m event that takes place between 19.00pm to 19.45pm, they would have ascertained that between these times there will be 8 races. Once the 64 entries for those 8 races have been filled, the event is therefore closed. Therefore, there could be a chance that an event could be closed 1 Week or 2 weeks before the meeting date. Therefore, please beware of this.
WATFORD OPEN MEETING – Takes place on Wednesday 17 April at the Woodside Stadium, Horseshoe Lane, Watford (Satnav WD25 7HH). All age-groups including U13s.
There is an overflow car park prior to the main entrance on Horseshoe Lane if you are travelling up from the A405/Garston but we cannot guarantee if there are spaces.
Nearest large car park if the facility car parks are full is the Leavesden Country Park off College road (Satnav WD5 0NR) approximately 1100 metres, which is a continuation of Horseshoe Lane. Please note the Harvester Car Park is now pay and display

CURRENT DISTRIBUTION OF SHAFTESBURY INFORMATION – Currently I notify members (by email) using “MailChimp”. The reason I changed, was in November last year “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.
