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 PEATY, BRYAN SMITH, JIM 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.

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.

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.

On seeking technical advice “MailChimp” was recommended as the best way for SBH to go forward.

Could I ask you not to select this as if you do you will be automatically removed from my distribution list.
