STONEX STADIUM MEMBERSHIP – To use the StoneX Stadium facilities for training, SBH members are required to pay a fee. You can register as a member (which is free) which then entitles you to a discount. This is the link to the form to apply for membership – SBH StoneX Membership 24-07-25
EMMA GOUGE who is the Stadium Athletics and SBH Co-Ordinator had advised me that any athletes coming outside the usual Tuesday and Thursday that they can tap and go with the sum up machine in West reception or scan the QR code, which they will find on the pedestrian gate on entry. We would remind you that athletes should not come through the clubhuse without paying the entry fee. This gets picked up, not only by other athletes that pay, and find it very frustrating and unfair, but also by Saracens security system which can result in a fine, and a ban from using the facility.

SHAFTESBURY BARNET HARRIERS SUBSCRIPTIONS – The current SBH annual subscription is £90 (following the 2025 SBH AGM) and the current England Athletics annual registration from 1 April 2025 is £20. The current total is £110 and you will be advised via the SBH Membermojo system, when your subscription and EA fees are due for payment.
For new members there is also a charge for Club Kit which is £45, giving an overall total of £155.

RESULTS
Just to clarify, that the results I publish can be different to those that are shown on the Power of 10. The differences relate to seasons and personal best performances, as certain Indoor and Outdoor performances/times are totally different for some type of events. The same applies to our Master athletes,  as on the Power of 10 any season and personal best performances relate to when they become Masters (35+), I show their performances based on their current 5 year age-groups.

REQUEST FROM TEAM MANAGERS – We are asking that you reply to team managers when they contact you? It’s very difficult to select a team if the athletes don’t reply especially when we can see that they have read the text. Even if they are unavailable the team managers need to know!

EMMA GOUGE who is the Stadium Athletics and SBH Co-Ordinator had advised me that any athletes coming outside the usual Tuesday and Thursday that they can tap and go with the sum up machine in West reception or scan the QR code, which they will find on the pedestrian gate on entry. We would remind you that athletes should not come through the clubhuse without paying the entry fee. This gets picked up, not only by other athletes that pay, and find it very frustrating and unfair, but also by Saracens security system which can result in a fine, and a ban from using the facility.

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.

RESULTS
Just to clarify, that the results I publish can be different to those that are shown on the Power of 10. The differences relate to seasons and personal best performances, as certain Indoor and Outdoor performances/times are totally different for some type of events.

RENEE REGIS WINS BRITISH INDOOR 200M WITH GOLDEN FAMILY MOMENT  The following article was published on the Athletics Weekly website recently.

The 20-year-old breaks MERLENE OTTEY’S championship record while AMBER ANNING settles for British indoor 400m bronze. The second day of the UK Indoor Athletics Championships in Birmingham (February 15) had a heart warming twist when RENEE REGIS was presented with her gold medal in the 200m by none other than her father, JOHN REGIS — the former world indoor 200m champion.

Regis entered the 200m final as the favourite after a stunning (22.89) run in the semi-finals, which set a new championship record. The previous record of (23.07) had stood since 1990, held by the legendary MERLENE OTTEY.

In the final, REGIS didn’t just win; she powered away from the field with an impressive (22.95), finishing comfortably ahead. HANNAH BRIER claimed silver in (23.37), while BROOKE IRONSIDE secured bronze with a time of (23.92). “I didn’t expect to run that fast in the semi-final,” said REGIS. “My coaches told me to commit, so that’s exactly what I did. “It was funny seeing my dad present me with the medal. He didn’t tell me he was going to do that, but it made the moment even more special.” The emotional family moment was just one of many highlights on a day that saw plenty of drama unfold on the track.

SCOTT LINCOLN CLAIMS NATIONAL TITLE NO.21 IN BIRMINGHAM  The following article was published on the Athletics Weekly website recently.

Shot putter throws 20.80m to win another gold to add to his huge collection at the Novuna UK Indoor Championships in Birmingham. SCOTT LINCOLN arrived back in rainswept Britain on Friday from his sunny new training base in Melbourne, Australia, with the goal of winning his 21st national title in Birmingham on Sunday (Feb 15). He succeeded with ease as he threw a best of (20.80m) with PATRICK SWAN taking silver with (17.12m) and DILLON CLAYDON bronze with (16.87m).

He would love to win a medal at next month’s World Indoor Championships, plus of course the European Champs and Commonwealth Games this summer. Most of all, he would like to take down the long-time British record of (21.68m) held by GEOFF CAPES. Such are his high standards, he wasn’t happy with his performance in Birmingham and hopes to improve in the two competitions he has planned – one indoors, one outdoors – before the World Indoors.

“I am so frustrated right now,” he said. “I have just come off a flight from Australia – it’s no excuse because I chose to come in at this time. I felt pretty good but I couldn’t quite hit the top gear today. It shows consistency but it is frustratingly close and hopefully in the next couple of weeks I can find it before the worlds. “I have just got to control the competition excitement now. I am ready to go with everything else. No matter how old you are, how many British titles you have won, you still get excited for these events.” LINCOLN admitted he was stoked up with caffeine to try to combat the jetlag and also lift himself ahead of throwing. But it didn’t quite click this weekend. “My set up now is all about me and being ready for those majors,” he said. “I just have to be controlled and everything else will take care of itself. We are targeting a big throw at the worlds and these competitions are good little pointers to see where we are, so we will build from here.”

EMMA GOUGE who is the Stadium Athletics and SBH Co-Ordinator had advised me that any athletes coming outside the usual Tuesday and Thursday that they can tap and go with the sum up machine in West reception or scan the QR code, which they will find on the pedestrian gate on entry. We would remind you that athletes should not come through the clubhuse without paying the entry fee. This gets picked up, not only by other athletes that pay, and find it very frustrating and unfair, but also by Saracens security system which can result in a fine, and a ban from using the facility.

STONEX STADIUM MEMBERSHIP – To use the StoneX Stadium facilities for training, SBH members are required to pay a fee. You can register as a member (which is free) which then entitles you to a discount. This is the link to the form to apply for membership – SBH StoneX Membership 24-07-25
EMMA GOUGE who is the Stadium Athletics and SBH Co-Ordinator had advised me that any athletes coming outside the usual Tuesday and Thursday that they can tap and go with the sum up machine in West reception or scan the QR code, which they will find on the pedestrian gate on entry. We would remind you that athletes should not come through the clubhuse without paying the entry fee. This gets picked up, not only by other athletes that pay, and find it very frustrating and unfair, but also by Saracens security system which can result in a fine, and a ban from using the facility.

SHAFTESBURY BARNET HARRIERS SUBSCRIPTIONS – The current SBH annual subscription is £90 (following the 2025 SBH AGM) and the current England Athletics annual registration from 1 April 2025 is £20. The current total is £110 and you will be advised via the SBH Membermojo system, when your subscription and EA fees are due for payment.
For new members there is also a charge for Club Kit which is £45, giving an overall total of £155.

RESULTS
Just to clarify, that the results I publish can be different to those that are shown on the Power of 10. The differences relate to seasons and personal best performances, as certain Indoor and Outdoor performances/times are totally different for some type of events. The same applies to our Master athletes,  as on the Power of 10 any season and personal best performances relate to when they become Masters (35+), I show their performances based on their current 5 year age-groups.

EMMA GOUGE who is the Stadium Athletics and SBH Co-Ordinator had advised me that any athletes coming outside the usual Tuesday and Thursday that they can tap and go with the sum up machine in West reception or scan the QR code, which they will find on the pedestrian gate on entry. We would remind you that athletes should not come through the clubhuse without paying the entry fee. This gets picked up, not only by other athletes that pay, and find it very frustrating and unfair, but also by Saracens security system which can result in a fine, and a ban from using the facility.

ALAN WELLER – SBH NEWSLETTER EDITOR AND WEBSITE MANAGERalanweller111@gmail.com




Shaftesbury Barnet Harriers Weekly Newsletter Thursday 5 February 2026

Happy Birthday from Thursday 5 February to Wednesday 11 February – Emma Ania, Ayotunde Alfonso, Philip Cunningham, Carole Harris, Abdirahim Hamud, Chinwe Iwunze, Alexander Lepretre, Michael Ohioze, Eleanor Roberts, Daniel Seechan, Callum Sydenham and Glen Quayle

TIME TO MOVE ON – At the start of January I made a decision to end my role as SBH Website Manager and Newsletter Editor. It was a very hard decision to make, but at my age I felt I needed to spend more time with my Family and Children.
Both the Website and Newsletter eats up untold hours (the summer is very time consuming), especially the Website which has so many documents to update.
As I say I will finish my role on 31 March (final Newsletter on 26 March). I am sure the club will provide me with a statement to publish in the Newsletter, outlining the future of the SBH Website and Newsletter from 1 April.

On a personal note I joined the club on 6 February 1984 (almost 42 years). I was not arunner, but played football. In 1982 I had Asthma quite bad, and luckily Guys Hospital cured it. A year went by and my Doctor recommended I should start being more active. At the time we were living in Harrow, and someone mentioned to me why not start jogging, and I found out there was a group of athletes that train from Bannister Stadium in Harrow..

It was a Tuesday evening in February I ventured up to Bannister Stadium, and in the changing room their was problably a dozen of so athletes, mainly from SBH. Two of those were JOHN BROE now living in Australia and MARTIN GREY who to this day trains regularily. The route was 10k, which I new, which I reached the stadium I was surprised that it was still open!!!!!

After around 6 months I signed on the dotted line, and a few days later I received that famous Black & White Striped vest. The winter season was some 3 months away, and i was persuaded by BRENDAN GALLAGHER who had taken on the mantle of Metropolitan League team manager. I found the courses tough, but was pleased that around me there were many Black & White Striped vests, which included DAVE DOUGHERTY and JOHN KIRK. I found the team spirit and during this period we had some 30-40 Senior athletes running, also during the the race there were many of our Young Athletes around the course cheering us on.

Not sure of the year, but BRENDAN asked whether I would consider being the Veteran Men Team Manager, to be honest we had quite a few veterans, who were only too willing to turnout for cross country and road relay races. There were two who acted as my assistant, REG BLACK and JONATHAN KILSBY and were responsible for the success and team spirit we had.

Moving on from this role and injury problems, I began my role with pen/paper and a computer, and one of the backbone of the club were the quaterly magazines, this is the history of the SBH magazines;
The first issue of the Shaftesbury Harriers magazine, was introduced/produced by Shaftesbury stalwart HAROLD ASHTON in 1949 and he wemt on to produce 168 editions of the quarterly magazine. HAROLD was Club President from 1953-1962 and 1988-1990 and his untimely death, following a short illness was in 1992.
Following in his footsteps was a hard act to follow – GEOFF MORPHITIS become temporary editor in 1992, following by IRENE PEATYBRYAN SMITHJIM CUNNINGHAM and MYSELF who produced the magazine until 2010.
I started what is now the SBH Weekly Newsletter on 3 October 2011, the first Newsletter to be published on the SBH Website was on 26 August 2013. All Newsletters from then until the current edition can be found in the ‘News Archived’ section on the SBH Website.
I have in my possession a large amount of HAROLD’S magazines, also many other documents and photographs, with some items going back some 120 years. I believe the Club are looking at a a way of storing/displaying these and other items in StoneX Stadium.

One of my proudest moments, was becoming Club President from 2017-2020, and the icing on the cake was that I took over the Presidency from SBH stalwart DAVE BEDFORD.

It is my intention in the coming Summer months, to go to a EYAL and NAL meeting, a meeting many of our talented athletes we have. and in the Winter a Metropolitan League and Road Relay fixtures.

RESULTS
Just to clarify, that the results I publish can be different to those that are shown on the Power of 10.

EMMA GOUGE who is the Stadium Athletics and SBH Co-Ordinator had advised me that any athletes coming outside the usual Tuesday and Thursday that they can tap and go with the sum up machine in West reception or scan the QR code, which they will find on the pedestrian gate on entry. We would remind you that athletes should not come through the clubhuse without paying the entry fee. This gets picked up, not only by other athletes that pay, and find it very frustrating and unfair, but also by Saracens security system which can result in a fine, and a ban from using the facility.

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.
