THROWS LONDON HAMMER/SHOT WORKSHOP – The workshop and competition day is being held at St Marys University this Saturday 13 December.

The workshops are for athletes and coaches alike and you are welcome to attend one or both during the day. These workshops are free and being delivered by Rob Earle, NCM for Hammer and Mark Chapman, NCM for Shot & Discus in the South. Please note these will be mainly practical based and as such, will be outside on the track. Please confirm attendance so I know to expect you. The competitions will run in the afternoon and I am hoping they will run alongside each other, official’s numbers dependant. If any of you are officials and wish to help, please do let me know. Likewise if you wish to compete, please advise so I’m aware of numbers beforehand. Payment of £3 per event is made on the day.  Please also bring refreshments for the day, as I am not 100% sure if the café there will be open. As per the last event at Walthamstow, Amir Williamson will be on hand during the day to provide sports massage free of charge to any athlete (injured or not) who requires it. Please contact Amir direct at hammerperformance@icloud.com to confirm your booking.

GEORGE HARRISON MBE – On the 26 November George received his MBE at Buckingham Palace from Prince William. George told me he was wearing his ‘Muckle Flugga’ tie (which is a small rocky island north of Unst in the Shetland Islands) which has an athlete on it. Prince William knew of this and commented on it, George then explained the history. The year is 1977 and Maureen Smith of Highgate Harriers was chatting with George regarding 16 athletes from the Shetland Islands who were bringing a baton from Unst to Buckingham Palace to celebrate Queen Elizabeth’s Silver Jubilee. George and Maureen then organised that the runners came via Watford, and that they would then proceed to Buckingham Palace. It took them 16 days to reach Watford, the Mayor of Watford saw them off and the baton was received by Lord Mountbatten at Buckingham Palace. SBH members old and current also took part and included David Lightowler and brother Phillip, Mark Seabrook, Paul Gurr and George’s son Colin. Photograph attached of George with his MBE, also the MBE Medal.
