*****************************************************************
An UPDATE by the HON. SECRETARY
Three
meetings on various development issues were held in January as advertised in the
last Courier. The first on 17th to discuss the development of our Women's
Section was well supported, with almost 20% of the women's membership attending.
A full and useful discussion took place, the women putting forward several ideas
and views on what was necessary to broaden female membership. These included
advertised introduction/ coaching meetings for women in the Borough of Bromley,
the need for somebody or bodies to act as a contact and give a welcome to women
meeting at the Clubhouse or Norman Park for the first time, and improved
communications on matters pertaining to women. At the meeting two women, Karyn
O'Mahoney and Kim Viney, volunteered to serve on the committee, and Nicola Viney
volunteered to help with our website. The need now is for a volunteer to convene
a smaller group to pursue some of the ideas and put them into action.
The second
meeting on the 24th, was equally productive for ideas to initiate a Young
Athletes Development scheme. Coaching days, come-&-try days and thoughts on
how to increase participation in our evening meetings were all discussed. It is
likely that some of the evening meetings will be held at Ladywell Arena, where
an expanding coaching group is developing under the enthusiasm of Kerryn Seale.
Again this all needs someone to push it forward.
The third
meeting considered the subject of membership catergories in some detail and came
to the conclusion that there was no justification in making any changes at this
time.
The final
point mentioned in the last Courier, the possibility of a name change, was
discussed at the January Committee meeting. After hearing arguments both for
against, a vote was taken showing 16 for a change with 2 against. A proposal
from the Committee for a name change to "Blackheath Harriers Bromley"
will therefore appear on the AGM agenda.
Views,
suggestions or volunteers for any of the above matters are most welcome and can
be made to the Secretary or other members of the Committee.

OK CHIEFS, but where were the INDIANS?
The Kent
Cross-Country Championship resulted in wins for the Senior, Junior and Under-13
teams, Michael Skinner and Colin Norris being the individual winners in the
latter two age-groups.
The Southern
was another win for the Seniors with Dave Taylor the individual Champion. He
followed this up with fourth place in the National, though here the team result
was disappointing. There have been a number of other good runs by individuals,
notably Dave Heath in the Inter-Counties.
Question:
Does anyone with a long memory in the Club remember us ever previously losing
all three Mobmatches? Not, at least, in the last 30 years. The reason isn't hard
to find. We now have only sixty members able and willing to run a Mobmatch. Of
these, three-quarters are vets and the under-35s can be counted on your fingers.
It has been
a very active indoor season for all age-groups at all levels. At International
level the Club has been represented by Julian Golding, Emeka Udechuku, Akinola
Lashore and Mensah Elliott. There have been some excellent performances in the
various Championships and one might pick out Fabian Collymore's sprinting in the
U17s, Bill Foster's M40 Club record in winning the National Vets 3000m and
Gordon Hickey's UK SP record in the SCVAC M65 (pity he missed the National Vets
- turned up on the wrong day. Well, what do you expect when you're M65?)
VETERANS TRACK & FIELD
The
SCVAC League will revert this year to separate scoring for the Men's and Women's
competitions. John (R) Turner will be looking for support, not only from old
hands but from those new to our veteran ranks. Anyone with no previous T&F
experience should not be put off, as there are always team slots and non-scoring
events where experience can be gained.
Dates/
venues are- Mon 17th Apr Ladywell: Mon 22nd May Norman Pk: Fri 16th June
Deangate: Mon 24th July Erith. John may be contacted at 01959 540730.
The first
Kent AA Track & Field Championship meeting, including Veteran events, will
be at Crystal Palace on Sat/Sun 13th/14th May.
Veteran
events are- Sat: 2000mSC Men- Sun 5000m & 3000m Walk Men & Women.
Male
entries- 3 Amanda Close, Chatham, ME5 9EQ: Female- 209 Wincheap, Canterbury, CT1
3TP. Entries Close 14th April.
LONDON MARATHON
The Club
Appeal this year will be for The Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital. Our
runners will also be individually supporting various causes.
COURIEROSITIES (5)
There's
nothing like fit athletes for getting injured. I don't mean your
common-or-garden Achilles tweak but something with a bit more flair. Like the
story of the league hack who did the pole vault, knocked the stanchion over and
landed head-first on its concrete base. Expected sympathy from his team manager
who races up with "Get over to the Shot, we need the point". He did,
and dropped it on his toe.
I expect
you've got your own idea of treatment. Some go to the Physio but most of us
would rather be pummelled down Millwall for nothing. Have you met people running
the wrong way round the track. That's after years of trackwork where their right
legs have grown longer than their lefts. Misunderstandings can easily occur. One
old Heathen had heard about RICE but thought you had to slap it all over you.
That wouldn't have mattered only his was still in the tin. Of course injuries
can be out-of-sight, like high BP. That's sometimes found in overweight people
who were very skinny babies. Suggestions on a postcard.
