28 January 2001 - Goldstream Park Club Run

Harrier Adventure Club Run 2001 Number 1 attracted 43 hearty souls to Goldstream Park. There were no casualties and all had fun. The "A" Team quickly split in to an A+ team followed by an A- team on Prospector Trail. The "B" Team, comprised of 24 of the finest second battalion fighters, gossiped all along the way and thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Turns out Ma Miller's now opens at 10:00 a.m. for Sunday Brunch, so with the place already full of regulars by the time we got there at 11:00, we were packed like sardines in the little pub for the $6 all-you-can eat brunch.

1999 Haney-Harrison Corn Roast

The first annual Harriers pre-Haney Corn roast was a smashing success. No participants are missing. Thanks to everyone who attended, probably 60 in total, most of whom appeared to enjoy themselves (especially the Hellions), as can be seen from the photos.
