John Flook
It is with great sadness that we have to inform you that Newport Harriers stalwart John Flook has died aged 82.
He came to the club in the early 50’s from the Navy as a 440/880 yard athlete on the track and road/cross country runner. John epitomised the traditional Harrier athlete, always turning out for the club and the setting up of events.
He then moved into coaching, where he was the first person a new athlete would see at the club, before being passed on the most appropriate coach. He managed at the club and for many years the Welsh Cross Country team in its heyday in the early ‘80s.
He was also a official: a starter/marksman who attended the popular Cwmbran Open meetings, whilst supporting the clubs activities at its Glebelands headquarters. The transition to the clubs new home at Spytty coincided with his wife’s failing health, who he then devoted his time to.
