    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).

    Birdham, Itchenor, Chichester, Church Norton and Selsey

    Holiday with a religious connection. West Sussex Day 7 – Birdham, Itchenor, Chichester, Church Norton and Selsey. Martin encounters the extraordinary ‘Macrocarpa’ tree in Birdham churchyard. BIRDHAM Friday 15th April 2016 was our last full day in West Sussex – it turned out to be very, very wet and not a day for long trips! However there were several locations of interest within 30 mins of Earnley, especially parish churches. The first church we explored was St James’, Birdham. The most striking feature outside the church was the Macrocarpa tree – it had the appearance of an ancient ash with a contorted knotted trunk. ‘Hesperocyparis macrocarpa’, commonly known as Monterey cypress, is a species of cypress native to the Central Coast of California - however the precise species is disputed and it may be an example of Italian Cypress (C. sempervirens). It was a nice surprise to find a variant on the ancient ash trees found in most old churchyards! The Macrocarpa tree is located in a very pretty churchyard at Birdham, featuring a bench with trellis arch. The parish church of St James, Birdham is situated on the Manhood Peninsula in Sussex. The area is a suburban extension of the city of Chichester, popular as a place to live and visit from its nearness to the city, Chichester Harbour and marina. The church was heavily restored in the nineteenth century, the then existing chancel being entirely replaced and the nave windows renewed. The sixteenth-century tower remains. The church has a Grade 1 listing. The gated porch at Birdham. East window, St James’, Birdham.
