Harriers' A.G.M.

At the Harrier Club A.G.M. on Tuesday, March 14, the following officers were elected.

• Club Captain: R. Clark.
• Vice-captain: J. Thornley.
• Treasurer: M. Honey field.
• Secretary: M. Clarke.
• Committee: B. Brice, P. C.
• Kearney, B. Wilson.

The aspect that most impressed me about this meeting was the large number of past members who were there and the small numbers of active members. Undoubtedly the club means more to these venerable gentlemen than to the upstarts who actually run in the packs, and this is a sad state of affairs. After all an A.G.M. is held only once a year and it is surely not too much for an athlete to attend, if only to assist in making up a quorum. Perhaps they are afraid they'll be elected to office, which is tragic, and merely underlines the fact that they are drones on the club's existence, turning up at the afternoon teas, not caring much who arranged the programme.

Another aspect of the meeting brought home the fact that the club constitution should be (a) exhibited at each and every general meeting of the club; (b) on file in the Students' Association office. This oversight (if indeed a copy of the constitution exists) possibly prevented an athlete, keen and willing to take on executive duties, from being elected to office. Again, tragic.

Minor criticisms from noted past members such as G. C. Sherwood concerning the club dinner and the organisation of the packs was ably and sufficiently parried by the immediate past club captain M. Honeyfield.

All in all, a well-run meeting by president, Mr G. I. Fox.

The Harrier Club will have its first run (from Weir House on April 8). All welcome, especially intending members. See club notice hoard for details.
