In Scottish the Stevens family Stevens from Southland in 1927 to work in the have played this role for almost 90 years, Post Office in Wellington. Scottish Harriers had four generations, and with two branches teamed up with Olympic and Wellington to form of Stevens’ wearing the Scottish lion. Alf Trinity Harriers through and after the war (1918- Stevens kicked things off as an early member 1921). When Alf joined in 1927 the club was in in 1927. Alf’s son Alan (the club patron) first a lean period marked by low membership, and made an appearance in 1937 and then his personality conflicts, and it was remarkable that son Todd joined as a junior in the 1970s (the club held together at all. recent General Manager). And now Todd’s children have all run for the club. Alan’s Alf immediately made an impact as an athlete brother Graeme (1940s) and his son Peter becoming the best runner in the club. Alf had (1970s) were also members and now Peter’s turned to cross country later than most (in his family have joined and brought Dad back into twenties) having played rugby and some track. the Scottish ranks. Alf won four club championships (1928, 29, 30 and 32) and was three-time centre champion In addition to the undoubted passion for the club and outstanding competitive contributions, what is more unique about the Stevens’ story is the phenomenal capability that the family has gifted the club over this time helping it become the best in the region and country. Further the Stevens’ contribution and service extends well beyond the club to sports administration at the regional, national, and even international level. A Stevens’ principle that emerges through this history is one of not being scared to try new things, to be innovative. This approach continues today and is key to why the club is stronger than ever in 2014. Let’s take a trip through time with the Stevens’ Dynasty.

  • Marathon Championship
    CLUB KIWIFRUIT FUND RAISING PICK As reported in Ramblings newsletter, 6th June, 1992. The annual Shallcross kiwifruit pick was once again offered to Tauranga Ramblers to give our funds a much needed boost so that we can subsidise club days, Bar-B-Q’s, Pinto, buses, newsletters and travel to major events. All in all club members receive more than their subscriptions cover, therefore we need full support from all participants for our fund-raising efforts. The club is very appreciative of the chances to earn this money and a special thanks go to Bill and Marge Shallcross for this fruit picking opportunity. It certainly beats selling raffle tickets and gives us the chance to do something other than one’s usual job or studies. It is quite an education especially the way different people see the hairy berries – their shapes and sizes I’ll leave to your imagination. Colin Clifton commented that it was a change from working alone. Teresa Coston was certainly the noisiest and Kristin McLoughlin one of the quietest, but it was good to see everyone turn out. Some brought their spouses, or sons and daughters. Robyn Bint did a great job removing all the kiwifruit stalks. Marge did a great job of keeping the team fed, while Nigel Hines had done an absolutely fantastic job chasing along all members he could find. Over the two days we picked 162 bins compared to 166 last year. Unfortunately we couldn’t quite finish but Ramblers received $1400.00 for the two day’s work. Once again special thanks to Bill, Marge, Debbie, Russell, Rob Shallcross and his in-laws and to Nigel and Sheryl Hines for their organisation.

In school, he ran and boxed, but was most interested in rugby football. Because of the Great Depression of the 1920’s, Lydiard dropped out of school at 16 to work in a shoe factoryc. Lydiard figured he was pretty fit until Jack Dolan, president of the Lynndale Athletic Club in Auckland and an old man compared to Lydiard, took him on a five-mile training jog. Lydiard was completely exhausted and was forced to rethink his concept of fitness. He wondered what he would feel like at 47, if at 27 he was exhausted by a five-mile run. Lydiard began training according to the methods of the time, but this only confused him further. At the club library he found a book by F.W. Webster called “The Science of Athletics.” But Lydiard soon decided that the schedules offered by Webster were being too easy on him, so he began experimenting to find out how fit he could get.
