A BOOK has been published which charts the history of Dartford Harriers Athletics Club.

Last Wednesday saw club members past and present gather at Glentworth Ex-Servicemen’s Club to attend the official launch of ‘A History of Dartford Harriers’.

Written by Richard Drew, Michael Holland, Peter Field, Arthur Kimber and Molly Titshall, the book tells the story of the club from 1922 to the present day.
