Our Part in Four-Minute Mile History
Our part in four-minute mile history Bruce McAvaney addressed a dinner in Melbourne recently, to commemorate Australian John Landy's first sub-four-minute mile and world record, run 50 years ago, six weeks after Roger Bannister first went under four. This is the transcript of his speech. "Here is the result of event No.9, the one mile: No. 41, R G Bannister, of the Amateur Athletic Association and formerly of Exeter and Merton Colleges, with a time that is a new meeting and track record, and which, subject to ratification, with be a new English native, British National, British all-comers, European, British Empire and World Record. The time is 3…." That's arguably the most famous cue, let alone understated announcement in athletics history…3 Minutes, 59.4 seconds! He was a formidable character, the announcer. Norris McWhirter died earlier this year, unfortunately just before the 50th anniversary of the first sub-four minute mile. McWhirter apparently had rehearsed assiduously the night before, in his bath, and it was through him that the BBC, the newsreel camera and most of the print media were present that day. McWhirter, and his twin Ross, who was gunned down in 1975 by the IRA, were joint founders and editors of the Guinness Book of Records. McWhirter had a sense of humour. Here in Melbourne at the 1956 Olympics, he told the story of a middle-aged Australian woman who, observing distressing scenes at the finish of the marathon exclaimed, "Cripes, how many qualify for the final?"… Back to Bannister, and the race: is it the sport's finest achievement? How does the 3.59.4 stack up with other athletic landmarks? Classics such as our own Ron Clarke's 27:39.4 in Oslo in 1965, a 35 second improvement on the previous mark.

A (Very Personal) History of Barnet and District AC
A (very personal) history of Barnet and District AC In early 2017 the club magazine Editor wrote to me, saying: “I'd like there to be some things in the next issue relating to the club's 50 anniversary/history etc. Would you be able/willing to contribute something?” Without hesitation I said yes, and here it is. I have chosen to write three parallel intertwined stories. They are the main points in the development of the club in the early years, illustrated with some results and reports from those days from the relevant club magazines, and interspersed with some observations on my own short running career once I arrived on the scene (thankfully for you that was not until 1982!). There are thousands of results and reports, and I have tried to select items of interest and/or relevance. I have tried to not dwell on, or comment too often on, the ‘but things were different/better in them days’ aspect of athletics. I leave you to interpret the content as you wish. Considerable license has been taken in editing down mag reports to their core detail. STEVE CHILTON (with thanks to Brian Fowler and all the club magazine editors) 1 Early days Barnet and District AC was formed in 1967, after a merger of Hampstead Harriers with Barnet AC. Unfortunately, I have not been able to find copies of the club mags from the years before 1974, so the first 6 years are something of a mystery (I copied all Brian Strong’s club mags from 1973 onwards a while ago, at the time I was editor, as he was editor for many of the early years).

Comrades of Children Overseas Monitoring and Evaluation Report 2013/14
Comrades of Children Overseas Monitoring and Evaluation Report 2013/14 COCO is an international children’s charity that works with communities in remote regions of the developing world to alleviate the poverty preventing children’s education. We believe that investing in communities and meeting their needs will ensure that children can access the education they deserve and by giving a mother a loan to run her own business, drilling a well or building a classroom we can ensure that both the children and the community as a whole can benefit. Since COCO was founded in 2000, by Steve Cram MBE and Army Corp Major Jim Paton, over £2.8 million has been raised to fund small, sustainable, community led initiatives that enable children living in poverty stricken regions of the developing world to access education and the opportunities it provides. This year COCO worked with 11 project partners in East Africa. This report aims to show how the work we are doing is benefitting these communities around the world to build long lasting solutions to poverty. It focuses on Monitoring and Evaluation, something which we consider to be important at COCO, to ensure that the work we are doing is benefitting who it is supposed to be, and so that we can constantly learn and grow in the future. It also looks at how the projects relate to our new Schools for Life programme, which you can read more about on the next page! For more detailed information on our projects you can look at our website, or contact and us.

Posted by lltroutman2002 Fri Aug 21 9:32am EDT I find this so shocking.... Not that She would run faster, or that she doesn't follow "traditional" ideas of femininity, or that the sports community chose to make this a public debate. What I find shocking is that this has become a race issue. I am American and I am so white, I almost glow in the dark. Does that mean I should trash on this poor child? Come on people, stop making assumtions. Yes, there are lots of jerks who will trash on someone just because they are different, but not all white people are against people of color (Maybe not the polically correct way to say it, but trying to encompass all ethnic backgrounds) and vice-versa. Personally, I think she is right. This skill is a gift from God and she is using it. She worked hard to develop this talent, and she made alot of sacrifices. She deserved to win. End of story. 5327.
