GEORGE GANDY’S LEGACY – Loughborough University will be the venue for a service celebrating the life of revered coach GEORGE GANDY later this month, but the 24 July event will also see the launch of a legacy fund in his name which will aim to support athletes and coaches at the university.

GEORGE, who had an association with Loughborough dating back to 1971 and was a long-time Director of Athletics there, coached more than 80 international athletes, including the likes of SEBASTIAN COE and PAULA RADCLIFFE. He passed away in October last year and, with social distancing measures having since eased, plans have been made to stage a memorial at the campus which will feature contributions from COE and others.

There will be a BMC meeting taking place at Loughborough later in the day and organisers have pointed out that one of the best ways to commemorate GEORGE will be to head to the track at 5pm, given that is where the man himself would have been found.

UKA LAUNCH NEW OPERATIONAL PLAN FOR 2021-2032 – The following articles were published on the Athletics Weekly website recently.
Governing body unveil how they intend to take the sport forward over the next decade, in what is being called “the Age of the Athlete”.

The creation of a new Performance and Innovation Centre, a discipline-specific approach to coaching, competition and officiating, plus the aspiration to more than double revenues are all features of the UK Athletics (UKA) Operational Plan for 2021-2032, which was launched today ( 13 July). The governing body’s intentions of how to take the sport forward over the coming decade have been published following a “widespread consultation with stakeholders including athletes, coaches, officials, Sport England and UK Sport, partners and competition providers”. It follows on from last year’s launch of ‘Athletics Unified’, a vision for athletics which was created in partnership with the Home Country Athletics Federations – Athletics Northern Ireland, England Athletics, Scottish Athletics and Welsh Athletics.

The UKA Operational Plan 2021-2032 outlines how the governing body aims to deliver the goals set out by Athletics Unified, with the new era being hailed as the “Age of the Athlete”. Since her appointment as UKA Chief Executive, JOANNA COATES has spoken at length about putting the athletes first and doing that is one of the “three key pillars” – Athlete First, Superstructure and Commercial Edge – which underpin the strategy. Part of Athlete First will see the National Performance Institute in Loughborough transformed into the UKA Performance and Innovation Centre, while there will be a network of between seven and nine regional hubs to further support athlete and coach partnerships. Superstucture will see coaching, competition and officiating following a discipline-specific approach and there will be “a commitment to ethical decision-making and to transforming the culture of the sport. Clear standards will be set so that everyone knows what they are and what is expected of them by the sport, ensuring compliance throughout the entirety of the system.” The Commercial Edge strategy, which aims to take revenues from a baseline of £7.4million to £16.6million by 2031-32, will be based around long-term partnerships and plans to increase engagement in the sport through digital media. There is the intention to find additional funding for safeguarding and coaching, as well as plans to create “an events series that
bridges the gap between British Championships and Diamond League”. This will be in conjunction with the aspiration to host world and European events.

COATES said: “I am delighted to share the UKA Operational Plan with the sport today. I also want to thank everyone in the athletics community who helped us develop this plan by taking part in focus groups, webinars and other stakeholder events. “Today we set out an ambitious future for athletics in the UK and have demonstrated how we will support the delivery of Athletics Unified. We have set ourselves bold challenges; change may not always be easy but it is possible and often the biggest rewards come from meeting such challenges together.”

JONATHAN KILSBY’S MEMORIAL DAY – JONATHAN loved Trent Park; as children, we lived only a few hundred yards from its entrance and, throughout his life, it was a one of his favourite training areas.  To commemorate JONATHAN’S life, we are going to have a walk-in Trent Park on Saturday 31st July.  All of JONATHAN’S friends, family and colleagues are invited to join us.  It will be a very informal event, with a walk of about an hour to one of JONATHAN’S most loved areas of the park, where we will stop and have our own thoughts about his kind, good humoured and generous life.

We will meet at midday at the carpark by the Trent Park Café, near the Cockfosters entrance to the park. (Post code: EN4 0JY).  https://goo.gl/maps/GoZe6V4hvt18MpZKA/a>
If you are a runner then, on the same morning, Barnet and District Athletic Club will be completing their training session in JONATHAN’S memory.  They will be meeting at 9:00 at the same location and training for around 90 minutes.  Runners from all JONATHAN’S former running clubs and of all abilities are welcome.
There is no need, at this point, to let us know if you intend coming along.  We appreciate that planning anything at the moment has its challenges, particularly two months in advance.  We will email again, two weeks before the 31st July, with any further details and updates to the day.

SBH SUBSCRIPTIONS 2020-2021 – SBH Treasurer GEOFF MORPHITIS has sent me the following regarding subscriptions.
The Club AGM took place virtually at 19.30 on Tuesday 24 November. One of the resolutions which was passed dealt with Club Subscriptions as follows. “The Annual Membership Fee for new members from 1 December 2020 will increase to £50. Existing members who have paid their membership fee for year ended 30 September 2020 will be considered as having also paid their fee for the year ended 30 September 2021.
In other words, in recognition of the disruption caused by Covid-19, these members will have 2 years membership for the price of one.” Therefore, I’m now asking athletes who have not paid their subscription for the year ended 30/09/20 (£45) to pay, so as to qualify for the 2 for 1 concession together with the England Athletics Registration Fee of £15 for 2020/21. The total is £60 and should be paid NOW to; ACCOUNT NAME: SHAFTESBURY BARNET HARRIERS, BANK: HSBC, ACCOUNT NUMBER: 41308378, SORT CODE: 400426 – Please let me know when payment is made. Thanks GEOFF

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.
