The opening run of the season was held from Weir House on the first Saturday after Easter, about fifty runners being present. New members discovered that running is not the strenuous sport it is often made out to be, and they certainly had no objections to the afternoon tea.
Last Saturday the Club turned out for the opening of the Wellington harrier season at Petone, and again there was a good muster of runners. Although it is perhaps a little early to start forecasting the club's prospects for the season, one thing is clear—as far as races are concerned. An almost completely new senior A team has to be formed on the basis of three runners who have survived the annual migrations from Wellington—Hawke, Holden and Whittle. Just what talen lies hidden amongst the ranks of the new members we are not yet sure, but by the time Salient appears again, we hope to be able to give some indication of it.
