ROGER SIMONS OFFICIALLY GREAT – Congratulations to ROGER who after 60 years service in athletics has decided to take a well-deserved retirement. ROGER joined Shaftesbury in 1956 at the age of 14, and was club Chairman from 1975 to 1982, then club President from 1982 to 1985. He has played a role in the UK governing body since 1982, continually improving club competition.
