Mill Hill Focus #55 - Weekly news round up & Local Sports summary

We hope all of our readers survived the storm last night and there was not too much damage to your gardens!

Local Sports

Our friends at the new Mill Hill Directory website have put together an excellent directory of local arts, history and sport. We recommend that you check it out. Here are their selection of local sports clubs and facilities from their list.

1. Mill Hill Rugby Club - Our local Rugby club 

2. Mill Hill Village Cricket Club - Our Local Cricket club

3. Mill Hill Village Football Club - Our local Football Club

4. Mill Hill Bowling Club - Our local Bowls Club

5. St Kiernans GFC - Our local Gaelic Football Club

6. Barnet Copthall Swimming Club -Our local Elite Swimming Club

7. Powerleague Mill Hill - Local Five a Side football pitches

8. Barnet Shaftesbury Harriers - Elite Athletic club

9. New Stars Lacrosse - Lacrosse club

10. Boxr Gym - Boxing and Fitness training

Sadly there is one local sports club that is under threat. This is not because it isn't well loved or well used, it is because the council has decided to rebuild the site without a diving pool, which threatens to end up to 50 different activities on the Copthall site. Please click through and sign this petition. I know all about the great work they do. My daughter was a member of the diving club and I saw the great work that the coaches and staff do. We need such facilities, it keeps our young people happy and healthy.

Sign the petition to #SaveBarnetDiving help our #divers of the future reach the #olympics https://t.co/mGMoW5Fy2l via @38_degrees
