Club Nights
Membership Fees Due
The 2022 Danum Harriers membership fee is due on the 1st April 2022 and is £14, plus the EA membership fee, which is £16. Therefore all members are required to pay £30 as soon as possible please.
Membership is payable by bank transfer directly into the clubs bank account. You put your name in the ‘Reference’ field so we can relate each payment received to the person transferring the money. If you don’t know the club’s bank details speak to a committee member who will be able to help you.
If any of your contact details have changed, for example your address, telephone numbers, emergency contact details or e-mail address please let us know by e-mailing dhrcclubsecretary@aol.co.uk
To those new members who joined from January 2022 you do not need to pay again.
Finally, for anyone who is a second claim member you only need to pay £14 as the EA membership fee will be collected by your first claim club.
Any questions please do not hesitate to Caroline directly.
If any of your details have changed can you please let her know asap and also update your details on your individual runners portal.

2021 Award Nominations Needed!
OK so it might not be quite the Olympics but we do have a few trophies up for grabs all the same soon at the next upcoming AGM + Awards evening (early April, date tbc) ??????
So folks it’d be hugely appreciated if you could send your nominations in to Adi for the following :-
?DHRC Runner of the year – male and female.
?DHRC Harrier of the year – 1 award only.
The criteria for ROTY is simply for the runner/s (M & F) who you think have had the best year running wise – (Jan to Dec 2021). This can be success as in trophies, etc or success as in their own personal journey, your choice ?.
The criteria for HOTY is same as the monthly award and can be for anybody who has gone the extra mile for club and/or colleagues in 2021, basically the person who’s displayed the most Harrierness in your opinion!
So to round up it’s 1x Harrier of the year nomination, and 1x each male and female Runner of the year nominations please.
Please, please do nominate guys – even if you’re not 100% I’m sure there’s somebody who’s made you raise your eyebrows and give them a slight tip of the hat at some point in the last year ?.
Please also give a brief description for your choice as well, it’ll help us when compiling candidates and making final choices.
Let Adi know your choices as soon as you can – you can email him at chairman@danumharriers.co.uk
