1889 group

The notion behind this page is that it would maybe appropriate to look at the early days of the sport through the history of Clydesdale Harriers.   The intention is to publish, on a year by year basis, the club’s own annual reports as printed in the club annual handbooks and follow them up later with notes on some of the events as published in the ‘Glasgow Herald’ .   The club was founded on 4th May 1885 but we don’t have handbooks for the first three years and the Minute Book for the 1885 – 1892 period was destroyed in the Clydebank Blitz although the succeeding Books are still available.   I will start with the 1890 – 1900 period while trying to decide how best to tackle the first five years.   So – we start with the annual report for 1890 – ’91.   It will necessarily be a slow job so be patient!
