Elswick Harriers are the oldest established athletic club in the North East of England having been founded in 1889, the same year that the Amateur Athletic Associations recommended rules became compulsory for all athletics in Britain.
Elswick Harriers have had many famous characters in their long history with Frank Melville being the first famous name winning the 1908 Morpeth to Newcastle Road Race, and in the years 1907 - 1909 being without peer in the North of England.
Elswick compete in both local and national competitions but are always actively seeking new members of all ages and abilities.
My involvement with Elswick was from 1984 to 1994 when I was C.E.O. of Elswick Hopper PLC, a British company quoted on the London Stock Exchange since 1936, and renamed Elswick PLC during the 80's.
Elswick PLC was itself taken over in 1994 by a larger print and packaging group and has been swallowed up inside it.
