Results for:
SCVAC Final 1st Sept
2002
WE WON!!
A fantastic overall team effort on the day helped
Blackheath Veterans team to a victory at the SCVAC League Final against 6 other
teams representing the cream of veterans athletics across the south of
England. In glorious sunshine, the team performances also shone, apart
form your team captain, who had a day of season's worst. Full results are
attached.
I don't want to single out individual performances because
I consider this very much a team effort, however I would like to mention Malcolm
Cannon, who will be a new name to most, but is a long time member, no resident
in Scotland. Malcolm flew down for the event, took part in 5 events, with one
1first, 3 seconds and a third to his name......and then flew home. We hope to
see Malcolm at future events next year
I would like to say a big thank you to all the team on the
day and all those who have supported the Veterans team in reaching the final and
of course the officials who have turned out to time us and measure our efforts.
I am assured by Anne Cilia, that next year Blackheath will have two veterans
sides competing at the final.

Meeting 6 - Monday August 5th
SUCCESS!
The Blackheath Veteran men's team rounded
of a victorious season with another winning fixture at the Ladywell track. Out
of 6 fixtures this year, Blackheath dropped only one point. Once again, the
strength in depth of the side carried us through, and we won quite comfortably,
despite not having many first places on the night. There wee no really
outstanding performances on the night, just a solid all round team showing.
My thanks to all those who competed on the
night and who have come out during the season, both to participate, to officiate
and to assist in any way. See you all at the final.

BLACKHEATH MEN'S VETERANS TEAM
REACH LEAGUE FINAL - After a number of years of
rule changes the Blackheath Men's Veterans side has again qualified for the
southern league final. This year this will be held at the Millennium stadium,
Battersea, on Sunday Sept 1st. We will need our strongest possible team to
challenge for first place and a number of officials to support the organisers.
More details to follow. If you would like to take part in any way, please
let me know. John R Turner

Meeting 5 - Monday July 22nd
The men's team continued their winning ways and took
themselves to an unassailable lead in the league. It is not possible for us to
be caught in the final match of the season at Ladywell, so we can begin to plan
for the league final on Sept 1st at Battersea.
A strange mixture of events saw a number of different
Heathens making an appearance in the team, with our three walkers invincible on
the night. Neil Aryton continued his blistering season with a 53.2 s 400m and
"silky " Daniels at last found a distance he could be beaten in. The
ladies team had 3 representatives and came a creditable 3rd on the night.
Thanks also to officials and helpers on the night.

Meeting 4 - Monday July 8th
In contrast to the previous matches the weather in Ashford
was dreadful; the pole vault and the later track races taking place in monsoon
conditions.
What didn't change was the winning ways of the men's team
and the solo efforts of the ladies team in the form of Anne Cilia. Neil Ayrton
continued his dominance of the longer sprints clocking a very impressive 24.5s
into a stiff headwind.
A greater surprise was in store in the B race when the
captain ran through strongly to win . There were strong performance all round
from the jumpers, vaulters and the 1500M runners, including a typically cheeky
cat and mouse performance from "silky" Daniels.
Our throwers were detained elsewhere so yours truly had
the chance to show why he has been training to run for 20 years, by coming
second in the Discus and Rob Brown had his first ever throw to record a point.
The evening was rounded off by a pretty swift 4 by 400,
where Cambridge showed us a very clean pair of heels, despite a fastest split of
53.7 from Neil, in conditions more conducive to the swimming leg on a triathlon.
Overall this performance has maintained the Blackheath
lead in the league and we can now begin to plan for the league final on Sept 1st
at Battersea.
If any athletes wish to be considered for this event,
please let me know asap.
Thanks. John R Turner

Meeting 3 - Monday June 17th
On the hottest day of the year so far, the Blackheath
veterans produced some scorching performances to win the 3rd of this years six
meetings by a comfortable margin and maintain their overall lead of the
competition.
The ambition to reach the southern final looking
easily achievable. We had a number of notable victories, including Neil Ayrtons
vets V40 league debut over 800M in a fine 2.05.6, silky Ken Daniels return to
the same distance in a winning 2.17.2 and a club record in the 4 x 200M , won in
1.41.8. The latter was particularly exciting as all our sprinters had been
beaten by athletes from Cambridge Harriers, but our squad won by 2 seconds.
The ladies team is now more than just Anne Cilia and with
a couple more runners and a thrower, could begin to compete.

Meeting 2 - Dartford - May 17th
On another windy night the Veterans team had to be content
with second place on the night due to some last minute withdrawals.
Once again the strength in depth and the ability to pull
as a team delivered the points. Highlight of the night for the men's team was a
blistering 54.6s, 400Metres from Neil Ayrton in beating Cambridge's Ray Daniel (
no relation) into second place. The 800M, in the next event, promises fireworks.
Once again Ann Cilia was the ladies team ( 400M 83.6, High
jump 1.10, Hammer!! 10.42 ,5000M 23.13.5) actually managing to come 3rd, all by
her self.
The next meeting is at Erith on June 17th and I am looking
for a V 60 100 metre runner and the meeting after that we need a V 60 200M
runner. Finishing the race and scoring points is more important than time.
Please make yourself known. We need all the possible points to make the final.

Results for the
SCVAC meeting one @ Deangate on 26th April.
The men's Vets team resumed their winning ways on a chilly
and blustery evening at Deangate and welcomed back old faces and welcomed new
additions to the team. The team was a little weakened by the absence of some
first team regulars, but as usual our strength in depth pulled us through, even
if the team manager had to run a 1500m to score some points.
As the match results shows, competing and scoring in all
events can be the key to success, so as usual a big thanks to all those who
turned up. Special mention to debut from Neil Ayrton, who demonstrated were his
son Dan got his speed, with a cruising win in the 1500 M and a blistering 2nd
leg in the relay.
Mention too to the pole vaulters in very difficult
conditions and to the throwers who were first in each age group until the last
round, when Chris Ellis was beaten by one centimetre.
The results and the team for the next meeting at Dartford
are shown below. For anyone who wants to take part, but is a little unsure, you
can always run as a non scoring guest ......so give it a try. If you want to
take part and want to know the next step to joining a winning team, contact
me" John R Turner

On Friday 25th of January 2002 I
attended an ad hoc meeting of team representatives for the Kent Division of the
SCVAC… that is the Vets Track and Field. At this meeting we made some minor
amendments to the rules as they apply to the Kent Division and also agreed a
provisional schedule of events for the forthcoming season. These are detailed
below.
I would draw your attention in particular to the very
welcome news that this year the SCVAC Final will be contested by the best
individual Men's and Lady's sides from Kent and not a representative Kent side,
as has been the case for the last few years.
1. The league will continue to be in two divisions for
each Men and Women.
2. Medway and Maidstone and Rochester have now combined
and will be known as Medway and Maidstone.
3. This has allowed the addition of one new club and
Ashford has filled this vacancy. This allows the use of the Julie Rose stadium
as a new venue.
4. Blackheath Men remain in Div 1 and the Women in Div
2.
5. For this season athletes in the 50 and 60 age
brackets will be allowed to compete in more than one age category at any
meeting, but not in the same event at that meeting.
6. There will be an A and a B string in all V40/ WV35
Track events and one competitor in all other events.
7. To reduce individual waiting times in field events,
these will be run by division, at each meeting. i.e you only wait for 12
competitors, not 24!
8. The events at each meeting will be exactly as last
year, except for the replacement of the 3 K with a 5 K race………steeplechasers
I need to hear from you. Track officials will be under instruction to double
up events whenever possible, to ensure full fields and a smooth running
programme.
9. The proposed fixture list and venues are as follows:

All dates and venues subject to availability and

I will be writing to all those vets whom I know wish to
compete, as soon as full confirmation has been received. In the interim,
if anyone new to athletes, or officials/ helpers, would like to make themselves
known to me, please do so. It would also be useful to be contacted by those
athletes who consider themselves to old, injured or sane to be selected.
