About Shaftesbury Barnet Harriers
Shaftesbury Barnet Harriers traces its roots to Shaftesbury Harriers, founded in Hornsey in 1890. The present club name followed the 1986 merger with Barnet Copthall Ladies, whose own origins dated to 1948. It is based at StoneX Stadium in Hendon, north London, England, with track and field, road running and cross-country among its activities.
The club's history includes the development of its clubhouse in 1983 and athletes such as Dave Bedford and Joyce Smith. Their associations belong to the club and predecessor clubs' history, not a claim that they are current competitive members. The merger brought those traditions into a shared organisation.
Coaching groups operate through the week, with arrangements depending on event and age. Membership is available from age ten, but applicants should contact the club before submitting a membership application and wait for approval. Ask about an appropriate coach, trial and meeting point rather than assuming that a general stadium opening time is a club session.
