START FITNESS METROPOLITAN LEAGUE – The first fixture of five took place last Saturday at Claybury in Essex.
Generally, a good start to the season, especially as we always struggle with numbers at Claybury. The day started with our Under 11s, in which XANDER REESE and VERA DOUDKO finished 10th and 8th respectively. Following on was the Under 13 Boys, with a team of 6 runners we finished just 1 point behind the home club Woodford Green and Essex Ladies. ARTHUR PHILLIPS in his 9th consecutive race, finished 2nd, just two seconds behind the winner, EUAN PHILLIPS finished 6th with recent new member PRINCE VICTORUS JOHN finishing 9th. In the Under 13 Girls race, POSIE SHAW in her 11th consecutive race, finished in 4th place, in the 2019-2020 season, she was a Under 11, and won all 5 races. The Under 15 Boys/Under 17 Men were out in force, with 9 runners, of which SAMUEL GREENSTEIN U17 finished 6th, which was his 4th consecutive race, and LEO RONCARATI U17 10th, the first Under 15 was THOMAS CADWALLADER. The team finished in an excellent 2nd place to Woodford Green and Essex Ladies.

START FITNESS METROPOLITAN LEAGUE – The second fixture of five takes place on Saturday 13 November at Stanborough Park, Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire (SatNav AL8 6DF).
Race Headquarters – Adjacent to the building by the playground at the north end of the north car park, close to the Start/Finish, refreshments will be available in this area. Registration will be adjacent to the Start/Finish.
Changing Facilities – There are no changing rooms as such.
Toilets are available in the building by the playground. Extra toilets will be provided nearby.
There are also toilets located at the Sailing Centre on the south side of the Park.
Course Location – North Side Stanborough Park – The Fixture Information and the course maps have been issued on the basis that we are able to use the field adjacent to the playground for an assembly area and for the finishing funnel. There is however the possibility that works will be starting in this field prior to 9 November. I have therefore drawn up some maps with an alternative position for the finishing funnel and appropriate adjustments to the course. These arrangements are less satisfactory than the ones I have issued so, as there is still no sign of the works starting, I am gambling on the hope that the field will still be clear on 9 November.
Course Description – Start and Finish in grassed field, remainder undulating parkland course suitable for spikes.
Public Transport – Welwyn Garden City Station (Main Line) 1.25 miles.
Directions From Major Roads – Leave the A1(M) at Junction 4, (after the Hatfield Tunnel). At the roundabout take the second exit to A414/A6129. At the next roundabout take the first exit A6129. At the bottom of the dual carriageway take the second exit out of the roundabout. The entrance to the car park on the north side is on your left after around 100m. The entrance to the car park on the south side is more or less opposite but you cannot gain access from the left side of the carriageway.
As early arrivers will undoubtedly fill the car park on the north side, you may be advised to go straight to the one on the south side.
Parking – There is a fairly large car park on the north side of the Park, adjacent to the course.
There is a very large car park on the south side of the Park, 5 minutes walk to the course.
These car parks operate by automatic number plate recognition. You must pay or you may incur a fine. Unfortunately we have not been able to negotiate a reduced rate this year, a list of the charges are published adjacent to this. It is a good idea to share cars and share costs. If you choose to park on the local roads, please park considerately and avoid causing any annoyance to residents.
YOU ARE ADVISED TO ALLOW SUFFICIENT TIME TO PARK AND PAY
There is a footpath under the road bridge, providing traffic-free access between the south side and the north side of the Park.
Access to both of these car parks is only permitted from the adjacent side of the carriageway. If you cannot find a space on the north side, to get to the south side you must drive to the roundabout at the top of the hill and return on the other side of the carriageway
YOU MUST OBEY THE TRAFFIC SIGNS
Timetable 12.25 U11 (Over 9) Boys (1700m), 12.30 U11 (Over 9) Girls (1700m), 12.40pm U13 Boys (3000m), 12.45 U13 Girls (3000m), not before 13.00 U17 Men and U15 Boys (4200m), not before 13.05 U17 Women and U15 Girls (4200m), not before 13.30 U20, Senior and Veteran Women (7800m), not before 14.35m U20, Senior and Veteran Men (7800m).
Other Information – All clubs should arrive before the start of the meeting (12:25pm) in order for numbers to be distributed to each club. To be eligible to score, competitors must compete in the correct race for their age group. Competitors in the Under 13 race must be 11 or over on the day of competition.
Safety: Runners are not allowed to wear I Pods/Walkmans when competing.
Note: You do not have to be pre-entered, just turn up and run.
Please collect your race numbers from the respective team managers – SIMON KEENE, JEREMY SOTHCOTT and JO KENT

THE LATEST BRITISH ATHLETICS FUNDING DECISIONS – The following article was published on the Athletics Weekly website recently.
As the dust settles from the Tokyo Olympics, the national governing body has named 67 athletes who will receive Lottery funding in the next 12 months. With less money to play with than in the past, there were always likely to be a number of disgruntled athletes left out of the British Athletics Olympic World Class Programme for 2021-22. The governing body had the difficult task of trimming a short list of 124 candidates down to just 67 who would benefit from Lottery funding during the coming year. As with selection for major championships, human instinct and judgement has gradually been replaced in recent years by a reliance on athletes fulfilling certain performance-related criteria.

Congratulations to the following Shaftesbury athletes who are included on the latest list – Olympic Podium Potential LIZZIE BIRD and SCOTT LINCOLNOlympic Relays ZHARNEL HUGHESOlympic Confirmation Level ELLIE BAKER

TIMETABLE RELEASED FOR 2022 EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIPS – The following article was published on the Athletics Weekly website recently.
Athletics is back in Munich next summer as much anticipated European Championships take place between 15-21 August. It’s that time of the year when plans start to get made for next summer, so don’t worry because the timetable for the 2022 European Championships has been released. The 25th edition of the event will be the first since Berlin 2018 after Paris 2020 was cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The action will begin on 15 August and, interestingly, both marathons start during and not before the first track and field morning session.

The first track and field finals will take place that evening with the men’s and women’s shot put and the women’s 10,000m. For the first time in European Championships history there will be a 35km race walk to add to the 20km race walk, with those events taking place on 16 and 20 August respectively. The decathlon will be wrapped up by the second day of the championships while the heptathlon finishes on 18 August. The first sprint finals will be the 100m on 16 August while the 400m finals are on 17 August and 200m finals on 19 August. There are no finals in any of the morning sessions through the championships. The countdown to Munich 2022 is on and it will be the first time since 2002 – coincidentally the same year that England last hosted the Commonwealth Games – that the German city has hosted the European Championships.

Tickets go on sale on 26 October – The full timetable is here.

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.
