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.

It’s been one of them things that I just want to get racing so I’m counting down the days and I’m raring to go! I feel trainings been going well and there is definitely a big chance of a medal, I’m going out to have fun racing and I know the performances will come”. Also ZANE DUQUEMIN is preparing to fly out and he told me “I fly on the 24th and actually head straight into the village. Preparations have been frustrating to be honest. I developed an issue with my shoulder last season and it’s still hanging on refusing to completely go so we’ve had to adapt training but we’re hopefully on the right track now and expect to be in good shape come April the 12th! Hopefully a bit of sun will help in the lead up”.

REVIEW OF METROPOLITAN LEAGUE SEASON – I have updated the Men’s and Women’s documents which identify all the Shaftesbury runners who have competed in the 2017/2018 season, also all-time appearances, consecutive races etc.

You can view both documents at the end of this review. Shaftesbury Men participated in the first race of the 1967/1968 season at Cranford on 28 October, with 2 of SBH current members competing, GERRY ELMORE and HUGH RICHARDS. The first Women’s races were in 1994 at Wormwood Scrubs on 8 October and the lone runner was DIAN TAYLOR. Unfortunately, Under 20 and younger age-groups were not identified in the results until a lot later, and the documents identify as and when.

One of the stats is Senior Men appearances, RAY POWELL has completed 117 races, with PHILIP CUNNINGHAM hot on his heels with 114 and RUSSELL DEVITT 111.

NATIONAL CROSS COUNTRY PHOTOGRAPHS – Received from KENNY GROOM – the first is of TONY SMITH looking maybe for DAVID STONE coming home, next DAVID STONE crossing the finish line to win the National title, and the final is DAVID with his Mother and Father.

PROFILE ON DAVID STONE –DAVID joined Shaftesbury in 2013 as an Under 13 started his career with a bang as he was a member of the SBH Under 13 team which won the English Road Relay Championships in Sutton Park, Birmingham in which it did not stop raining.

NATHAN FERNANDES started on Leg 1 and finished in 9th place 32 seconds behind the leader. DAVID ran on Leg 2 and i was supporting the team some half a mile from the finish, all of a sudden there was this diminutive figure of DAVID appearing over the hill in the lead and handed over to JAMIE HARPER with a 29 second lead. JAMIE anchored the team to the Gold Medal eventually extending the teams winning lead to 41 seconds.

RUNNING TOP LOST – Following the National last Saturday, did anyone pick up a Pink English Schools running top by mistake, it belongs to MIA GROOM.
