Sat 2 Oct - Quiz Night at Belgrave Hall, 7:30pm More info Albert E. Frost 1914-2010 We regret to report the death of an old Belgrave stalwart Albert Frost, who passed away aged 96 on 13 August. Obituary Bill Laws says his reported demise is premature The impression given by several recent announcements that Bill is retiring from all athletic duties needs clarification. After 31 years as joint men’s track and field team manager covering around 200 matches of which 12 have been in Europe Bill feels that new blood is needed to lead and manage the BAL team on match days. Bill will continue to provide support and aims to assist with athlete development and team building. He will have more time to help develop communications between team members and hopes to re-structure the various sections (i.e. Jumps, Throws, Hurdles, Sprints) so that teams can be selected well in advance of matches. He cites the excellent work done by Phil Wicks in getting strong middle distance squads out for this year’s matches.

The 19th Commonwealth Games to be held in New Delhi, India, are just 41 days away now and several nations have announced their team selections. We are pleased to record that six Belgravians are currently due to take part. Congratulations to them all.

Realistically it was most unlikely that the Bels were going to be able to fight back to avoid relegation - but when it came to the final match at Lee Valley the team, wrecked by injuries and absentees, was unable to make much more than a token attempt at avoiding the drop. It's Division One again for the Bels in 2011. Newham & Essex Beagles won the title while Windsor, Slough Eton & Hounslow AC will descend with us. It was a sad final match to end Bill Laws' 31-years at the helm as Team Manager. Over that period he has worked with four joint Team Managers and it was fitting that he was assisted for his final day in charge by Leo Coy. It was with Leo that the epic journey began over three decades ago. We thank Bill heartily for all the incredible success he has achieved with the BAL team. It is unlikely that his record will ever be equalled. | Tribute to Bill by BAL ChairmanMarty Dent takes Aussie Cross Country title
Saturday, 21 August, Bald Creek, Queensland, Australia. The 2010 Australian Cross Country Championships celebrated its 100th anniversary and the centenary title was taken by none other than Marty Dent. Running for the Australian Capital Territory team, Marty completed the 12k course in 36:49, winning by 16 seconds from Victoria's Liam Adams. And in 6th place, for New South Wales, was Russell Dessaix-Chin, just a few weeks on from competing in the Rosenheim League and running in Nonsuch Park! It was the third time that 31-year-old Marty has won the Australian championship. A seven-time world cross country championships representative, he will line up in the marathon at the Commonwealth Games in New Delhi. Results Round-up We've caught up on results posted over the last couple of weeks including some fine 5000m running by Dan Mulhare, Simon Jones and Michael Mulhare at Stretford, a 2.27m high jump from Samson Oni, a European Masters throws pentathlon win by Mark Wiseman, age group wins from Maureen Noel and John Hall in the BMAF Champs, consistently good sprinting from Jason Hussain ... and much more ...

Wednesday 11 August, Tooting. Loic Malroux, David Wellstead, Jason Hussain, Matt Threadgold, Hazel Mead (Team Manager), Jolyon Hutchings, Dave Mason, Mark Humphrey and, crouching, Matthew Morgan and Robert Norville, celebrate winning the Rosenheim League final and completing an unbeaten Rosenheim streak in 2010. Last time we won this competition in 1999 none of the above were in the team and team manager was Hazel's mum Pat. Star of the team was again Paskar Owor who won the 800, 1500 and 3000 metre races. Electric timing supplied by Don Anderson meant that Jason Hussain was able to set a personal best of 10.82 in the 100 metres, Loic set a high jump pb and Matt Threadgold was close to his best ever with a 49.40 400 metres.

Sunday 8 August. Paskar Owor (pictured left by Ray O'Donoghue) was able to maintain the strong Belgrave link with the County 5k Road Race Championship, winning comfortably at Wimbledon Park with a time of 15:20 and adding this title to his Surrey County Cross Country Championship. The event, previously held from our club house, was instigated by our own Derek Crookes and then continued by Alan Mead and Gordon Biscoe up until 2009. But there always was a little doubt about our 5k course comfortably taking around 200 runners and with both of these gents having plenty of other things on their plates these days, we had to let it go. Hercules Wimbledon AC stepped into the breach and in this first running of the event from Wimbledon Park track, the numbers were maintained as 204 completed the course. Ben Hurley returned successfully to competition with 10th but we did not complete a team. Results
