Many congratulations to former Surrey president and cross country team manager Bill Lucas DFC, who was recognised as Britain’s oldest living Olympian in the Daily Mirror Pride of Britain awards on ITV on November 1st.
Bill competed in the 5000m at the London Olympics at Wembley in 1948 after just one year's training after serving in the RAF's Bomber Command for seven years and flying 81 missions, surviving unharmed. He was included in the section of the programme to congratulate Britain’s successful Olympic and Paralympic athletes in Rio this summer.
He was in remarkably good form considering he’s in his 100th year but he had to be helped on to the stage as he broke a leg when visiting his local library in Cowfold, West Sussex earlier this year, a few weeks after undergoing open heart surgery.
He showed he has lost none of his Chutzpah in a lively encounter with presenter Carol Vorderman, who said it was an honour to meet him. Bill responded: “Nice to meet you too.” Carol revealed: “ You’ve got a big birthday in January,” and amid cheers and applause from the audience Bill revealed: “I will be 100 on the 16th.” Bill interjected after Carol told the audience he was a bomber pilot in the second world war: “Hitler deprived me of my best athletic years so what did I do. I went out and bombed him.” amid much laughter from the star-studded audience.
Bill’s lifelong club, Belgrave Harriers, are organising a grand birthday party to celebrate his centenary on January 15th in Belgrave Hall.
An update from Tom Pollak, SCAA Chairman:-
Since this notice was posted Bill and Sheena have been seriously hurt in a road accident and have both been in hospital. On November 19th they were passengers in a Sport Utility Vehicle driven by a 94-year-old World War Two bomber pilot and on their way to a picture signing for bomber command. The driver managed to roll it over at a roundabout in Burgess Hill and while he and another passenger escaped unhurt, both Bill and Sheena had to be cut out of the wreckage by firemen.
Bill suffered a broken collarbone and Sheena cracked ribs and breastbone. After being treated in the emergency department at Brighton Hospital they were transferred to Horsham Hospital for recuperation and rehabilitation.
I went to see them there on December 18th and, despite their ordeal, they both seemed in good form and were looking forward to the January celebrations. They were in their own two-bed ward.
Happily, they were discharged just before the festive season and were able to spend Christmas at their home in Cowfold with neighbours and friends making sure they were able to cope. They were certainly happy to be out of hospital and in their own surroundings. Both sets of injuries are healing but Bill has problems with a swollen right leg which doctors are trying to resolve.

SURREY UNDER-20 HAMMER RECORD - Gareth Cook has informed us that he threw the 6kg Hammer 63.80m whilst representing England Schools in the ISF World Gymnasiade held in Nice on 4/6 June 1986. This performance is now recognised as the Surrey Record. Therefore Peter Cassidy (Guildford & Godalming AC) and Munroe Ritchie (Crawley AC) have until the end of this season to try and better Gareth's throw. The confusion arose because, in 1986, in the UK Under-20 Men were throwing a 6.25kg Hammer and Gareth's throw being achieved under International Rules which prescribed a 6kg Hammer meant that his throw was not included in the UK rankings.

JOHN MORRIS 1932 - 2016
- It is with regret that we have to inform you of the death of John "Johnny" Morris, who died in St Georges Hospital, Tooting, at 83 years of age. John joined Belgrave Harriers in November 1958 and was a long
distance walker. In 1971 he became a centurion, walking 100 miles in under 24 hours. After retiring from competitive
athletics he became a graded track and field official and for many years officiated at the county championships and
local club meetings.
MALCOLM BURTON 1943 - 2016

As a member of Mitcham AC during the late-1950s and the 1960s he won the Surrey Junior Men's Mile title in 1960. He maintained an interest in athletics during his later years through spectating at Crystal Palace and in 2012 by going with his granddaughters to the London Olympics. Profile.

PHOTO-FINISH -
As advertised on this page for many months now, Mike Scott is this year reducing his involvement with the SCAA photo-finish service. Unsurprisingly (given the huge amount of work that Mike has put into this activity each year) no one individual has come forward to take over the role. However, a team of SCAA officials, including several with extensive PF experience as Technical Officials, will be taking on the PF service for 2016. Mike will continue to play an important part, but as member of a wider team which will between them cover all aspects of the service.
The initial priority is to resource Surrey County AA events, but it is intended that, as the expertise of the team progresses, we will start to take on events promoted by Surrey affiliated clubs and other competition providers. A decision regarding the extent of this is expected to be taken in mid-April. Until that time, it will generally not be possible to take any bookings, but expressions of interest can be sent to SCAA via Margaret Nelson (pf@surreyathletics.org.uk). Margaret will save the dates concerned (if not already reserved) until such time as a decision is made on whether the event can be resourced.
CONGRATULATIONS TO BILL LUCAS DFC -
Former Surrey president and team manager Bill Lucas, DFC, was guest of honour at a celebration tea at Belgrave Hall on Sunday to mark 80 years' membership of Belgrave Harriers. Bill, who is in his 100th year, represented Britain in the 5000m at the Wembley Olympics in 1948 after just one year's training after serving in the RAF's Bomber Command for seven years and flying 81 missions, surviving unharmed. When he retired from active athletics, Bill was a valuable asset for the county as team manager during one of the most successful periods for Surrey in the UK Inter-Counties cross country championships.
Many older members of Belgrave Harriers and representatives of the South of England AA and Surrey County AA were at the celebration tea which was attended by about 50 people.
Bill thanked those present with an amazingly lucid and fascinating address which included explaining how he came to join Belgrave in 1936.
In one of the two pictures taken by Mike Fleet, Belgrave chairman John Powell is presenting Bill with a commemoration vase and, in the other, Bill is surrounded by many of the athletes he managed during his period as Belgrave's cross country team manager. In the centre is a painting of him running in June 1952 at a meeting to mark the opening of the Wimbledon Park track. Profile.
