Harriers Away!

Members of the four harrier clubs combined for the opening run of the season from the Church steps. An address was given by Alan Paterson and then the multitude of runners set off.

A bunch of happy faces and the sounds of pounding feet down Trafalgar Street marked the opening of the harrier season

Senior members of the Nelson club Tim Varley, Rod Dixon, John Dixon, Martin Thompson, Roger Sowman and Murray Taylor are ready for another season

Waiting for the start are Carol Thompson, Robyn Rhompson, Alison Fraser and Karin Guy of the Nelson club

Robbie in a contemplative mood. Thinking of the next marathon?
