HALLE INTERNATIONAL THROWS EVENT – Congratulations to CHRIS BENNETT (Hammer) who has selected to represent GB&NI in Halle, Germany on 26-27 May.
UPDATE ON HUGH RICHARDS PARKRUN – Last week HUGH competed in the East Coast Park Parkrun, unbeknown to me this was in Singapore. HUGH and PIPPA are currently visiting HUGH’S daughter. This Saturday PIPPA and HUGH intend doing the West Coast Park Parkrun.
It’s 40 years this August that JOHN DRYDEN, JULIAN GOATER and HUGH RICHARDS completed in the Singapore International Games and it’s still just as hot and humid! I recall JULIAN won the 5k and JOHN and HUGH came 2nd and 3rd respectively in the 3k Steeplechase.
LOUGHBOROUGH INTERNATIONAL – Took place last Sunday 20 May and this was the 60th staging, having established a reputation as the domestic curtain-raiser for Britain’s top athletes.
Shaftesbury had a superb turnout with many of our up and coming athletes competing, with top performance of the day going to SEB RODGER who matched the European qualifying standard of (49.80) in the 400m hurdles. The Rio Olympian, whose best is 49.19 from 2013, said: “It’s nice to go sub-50. I know it should be normal, but I’m quite inconsistent with my times, so to run like that I’m very happy.” The photograph of SEB following his impressive win.

On a day dominated by the royal wedding in Windsor, the new king of domestic 10,000m running was crowned in Highgate when ALEX YEE beat the ultra-experienced ANDY VERNON and CHRIS THOMPSON to take the national title. ALEX only turned 20 in February and remarkably focuses more on triathlon than running. But on Saturday night in north London he finished fifth overall – and first Briton – in his 10,000m debut in a European Cup race won by RICHARD RINGER of Germany.
ALEX’S time of (27:51.94) was less than five seconds outside the British under-23 record of (27:47.0) set in 1971 by DAVE BEDFORD, who was among the packed throngs of spectators on Saturday night in addition to IAAF president SEBASTIAN COE, European Athletics president SVEIN ARNE HANSEN and former world snooker champion and keen runner RONNIE O’SULLIVAN – to name just three. Photograph shows ALEX in third place.
RONNIE is a member of Woodford Green with Essex Ladies and from 2007 to 2014 ran 8 Metropolitan league races, with a best finish of 53rd. In 2015 he turned his sights on the Parkrun, with a best time of (18.08) at Hackney Marshes.

PHOTOGRAPH’S – From time to time we have photographs of our members taken at meetings or presentations which we would like to use both on the website or incorporated within our report to our local newspaper. Can you please let me know if you do NOT want your photograph to be used. Also I would appreciate if you could send me any photographs, which I can then publish on the website and newsletter.
FACEBOOK – Photographs can be found on the SBH page.
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.
