The 8th Annual Harriers Quiz was held in the upstairs room of the Kobenhavn bar in the Westgate Arcade. The quiz was totally sold out with 48 quizzers in attendance over 12 teams. The diabolically hard quiz was set by Debbie Kirkbride with Chris as question master.
There was a charity raffle which together with profits from the quiz raised £257 for the Happy Days charity in Halifax. The total raised included a generous donation of £40 from the half time break pizza suppliers, All Pizzetto on Union Street.
The winning team members included Mark Clements and Stewart McConnell and their partners. The runners up were the doctors team of Marc Rocheteau, Annie Killeen and David and Jane Ingle. In third place was Tim Slow, Ellen Limebear, Jack Melia and Amy Radford.

On a cool evening at Whitworth nr Littleborough, Harry Johnson led from start to finish at the Cowm Reservoir 5k. He shot off and by the end had nearly a 2 1/2 minute winning margin to complete the 5K in 15.52 ahead of 150 runners.
It was a double celebration for Harriers as April Stewart was 1st lady in 11th place overall with a fast time of 19.52. Sandwiched in between in 6th place was husband, Will Stewart, with a time of 19.20.
A fantastic photo from last night's Bunny Relays at Haworth where team Cattermole finished 4th overall and won the Family Team prize. The relay baton is a raw egg, which must survive all 3 legs (each team member runs 1.5 miles), hence the study in concentration on Lee's face. (Will Cattermole, Lee Cattermole and Eli Cattermole.)
Our "senior" ladies also had a team; Jane Hobson, Andrea Ackroyd and Stef Dickinson ran (in Tutus).
A brilliant end to the series ... and lots of age group overall series prizes won: Eli 3rd U17, Will 5th overall senior man, Stef 4th FV40, Andrea 3rd FV50 and yours truly 2nd MV60.
Chocolate, beer and a tremendous time had by all at the presentation.
