Harrier Club.

The 'Varsity cross country runners opened their 1937 season with a run from Weir House on Saturday. This year marks the inauguration of an "idle-along" pack which is intended to cater for those members of other clubs who desire a run on a free Saturday to keep fit. A pleasing feature of Saturday's run was a large attendance of new members. After a brief address from the club president, Mr. G. F. Dixon, three packs of runners followed a course of about three miles as far as the Tinakori Hill and back through the Botanical Gardens. It is hoped that all members, new and old, will keep in view the inter-University Cross Country Tournament to be held here in August. Freshers are eligible for this—so start getting fit. At the conclusion of the run the club held a short meeting at which the Annual Report and Balance Sheet were presented. Regulations for the awarding of Cross Country Blues were also presented and referred to the Committee.

An excellent afternoon tea was supplied by Professor Hunter to whom the clubs' thanks were cordially extended. During the afternoon tea the anonymous donation of two trophies was announced. The Club wishes to thank these donors for their generosity. Also present at the opening run were Mr. H. McCormick (Vice-President) and Mr. G. C. Sherwood (trainer), both of whom were introduced to new members.
