SEEING IN THE NEW YEAR 1960 and 1967

Back in 1960 club members were a keen lot, turning out for three races in January, the first on the day after New Year’s Day! Of those involved perhaps only Ron Wallwork and Chris Bolton are still with us

Seven years later the stalwarts of the club competed on New Year’s Eve in a walk/run race against Bolton United Harriers. All I remember is being sick twice or thrice on the downhill back. Complaints, that Mick Entwistle was an under-age drinker and should be disqualified, fell on stony ground.

Where the thirst was quenched!

Report uncovered by Ron Wallwork. Chris Bolton comments that all competitors got a prize. He won a pair of shoe laces!
