Gentlemen.

The committee of the Bingley Harriers have great pleasure in presenting their first annual report. The formation of the club was chiefly due to our worthy treasurer Mr.H Bradley. At his instigation a meeting of those interested in this sport was called in the month of March and was held at the Old Queens Head Inn. The invitations to that meeting were heartily responded to and by a unanimous vote it was decided to form a club for Bingley. At this meeting rules were made and officers elected and other such business as was required. During the year nineteen runs have been held but the attendances at some of them was not so large as might have been expected. The membership of the club was larger than was at first expected - eighteen having joined the club as running members and four as honorary members. There should have been four inter-club runs (two with Keighley and two with Shipley) held but owing to the weather and other circumstances only two came off (namely those with Keighley). The season was finished up with a run at which both Shipley and Keighley were invited to attend and it turned out a very enjoyable affair. It is to be hoped that the membership of the club will increase during the forth-coming year and that all the old members will turn up and bring with them new recruits and thus help the club on. As will be seen from the treasurers report the club finishes the season with a small sum in hand.
