Updated – Wine Tasting at Majestic Wines
**Date announced Friday 26th April**
Sally Haycock will be in touch with everyone on the list so far for payment!
The list will remain open so that we can arrange another visit if we have enough support!!!
Hello fellow Harriers! For those of you who like to participate in a wine or 3 we have some exciting news!!! We aim to hold a Wine Tasting event at Majestic Wines, exclusively for Stafford Harriers!! We are looking to hold this towards the end of April (after those marathons!) and I am just trying to get an idea of numbers of people who would be interested!!! Please write your name below if you are up for it, prices will depend on the number of people we get, but I think it would be £15 – £25. I’m considering doing an Old World versus New World Tasting but I am open to ideas!!
In the meantime, if you are interested in wine, they are holding a free tasting event on Thursday 21st March at 6 pm!! This is an informal event and may be of interest to you. Please book this event directly with Majestic Wines, as you still need a ticket even though it is free.
For the Free Tasting on 21st March book directly with Majestic Wines at 01785 562420 or sfd@majestic.co.uk
Might see some of you there!
For Harriers April Wine Tasting please write names below –

Harrier Events are now open
Our two main events for 2024 are now open for entry.
The Showground Relays – 7:30pm Wednesday 12th June.
Teams of 4 — each doing 2 miles on grass and tarmac. Great fun we had over 200 teams last year. Hopefully more this year. £32 per team.
Staffs Knot – Fun Run 6:30pm and 5 Miler 7:15pm – Wednesday 17th July.
A great fun run and a fantastic 5 miles on the Chase. What could be more fun ?
Race director for both events is our hard-working Ian Hodkinson.
Update:- Coach trip 2024 – Race the Train
Please register your interest!
Hello, Harriers!
To be ultra organised this year, please note this year’s coach trip is to Race the Train in Towyn, Wales. This is both for runners and non-runners and is as much a social day out as competing in the race itself.
It is held on Saturday 17th August at 2.05pm and is a multi-terrain 14 mile race with the aim of beating the train!
There is also a shorter race starting at 11.15 am (10k) but unfortunately, the coach trip is only for the 14-mile race. If we had people entering the earlier race, it would mean a very early start and we would need 2 drivers for the coach, which would be costly. If we’re going all the way to Wales we might as well enter the main race!! All abilities are welcome! [Ian has confirmed only the 14 mile race is in the Challenge]
I, myself have competed in this race 4 times and I absolutely love it! There is a great atmosphere, with lots of locals cheering you on, along the way. You will not be disappointed! All runners get a t-shirt and medal and there is a marquee at the finish that sells snacks and beer! Much-needed refreshments, if you ask me!
If you don’t fancy the race, there are tickets for the train itself, so you can hop on and cheer your friends, and family on the route, as the course doesn’t deviate from the track too far. What’s not to love?!
Entries for the race and train are now open, so to find out more about this trace and to book yourself a place please click on the following link – Home – Race The Train Tywyn
If you are interested, please put your name below and state if you have entered or not, so that we can work out what size coach we will be requiring!!! If you haven’t entered yet, still put your name down, as we still have plenty of time to enter!
We can’t yet estimate the cost as we don’t know what size coach we will need.
