Harriers’ anniversary
The University of Canterbury Cross-Country Club will mark its fiftieth anniversary with three days of celebrations, starting this evening and continuing through the week-end. Former members from throughout New Zealand and Australia are returning to Christchurch for the celebrations, which will begin with an informal social in the Engineering Common Room of the university this evening. The University handicap steeplechase will be held from the University athletics track tomorrow afternoon.
The race will be run over about 5.6 km round two laps of a course through the University campus. A jubilee dinner will be held in the Students Union in the evening. An anniversary church service will be conducted on Sunday morning by a former member, the Rev. B. R. Carrell, the secretary of the Church Missionary Society. The service will be held in the Christchurch College chapel, after which the celebrations will conclude with training, fun runs and a barbecue at Spencer Park.
