Harold LANG
Harold joined the Collingwood Harriers in 1928 and served the Club in many capacities over the years as both an athlete and an official. He was a consistent performer on the track and in cross-country events.
As proof of his worth to the Club is the appearance of his name on two honour boards in the Clubrooms.

Harold was just the second to be created a Life Member of the Club when presented with his award in 1946.
