Celebration evening…

A fantastic venue, at St James’ Park to celebrate our wonderful members’ achievements and 135 years of Elswick Harriers.

It was fitting that our chairman, Harry Matthews welcomed everyone, a member since 1959! 

Compere for the evening and Elswick Harriers historian, Mike Russell introduced our very special guests: Mike McLeod and his brother (also a former Elswick Harrier), Frank Watson, Mary Avery, Bill and Pauline McGuirk.
