With the team winning by 18 points this moved them up from 3rd to 2nd
Under 11 Girls team with 2 runners, of which POSIE SHAW made it 3 wins out of 3 races. The team finished 6th which meant they dropped from 2nd to 3rd overall, but only 1 point behind Hillingdon.
Under 13 Boys team were depleted due to the Southern Inter Counties, which meant ZICO JONES took his opportunity by winning by a margin of 11 seconds, with AUSTIN WARD 5th and JORDAN PEARLMAN 9th. The team finished in 3rd place maintaining their lead over Woodford Green & Essex Ladies which is now 47 points
Under 13 Girls team had the lone figure of LUCY JOHNSON who finished 28th.

Top performance of the day came from SAMUEL GREENSTEIN who finished 6th but was 1st Under 15.
Under 15 Girls and Under 17 Women’s team were exceptional with JOANNE MIRANDA winning by just 1 second from EMILY HATHAWAY. The team won by 25 points over Thames Valley Harriers, and overall with Victoria Park & Tower Hamlets slipping up we now have an overall lead of 44 points over London Heathside.
Under 20, Senior & Veteran Men’s saw DYLAN EVANS returning after his 7th place at Claybury, to produce an outstanding run, winning by a margin of 3 seconds, THOMAS BUTLER U23 had his best race to date finishing in 4th place. GEORGE GROOM U20 seems to be form of 2 years ago, finishing in 11th place and was 1st Under 20 home. The team finished 10th and are 9th place overall. We need to show an improvement at Alexandra Palace as we are 374 points of that dreaded 11th place.

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.
