I belong to a trail running club, The Cheshire Tally-Ho! Hare and Hounds Club'.It's the second oldest running club in UK I believe, formed in 1872. The club is full of tradition.

I know there was a 'Tally-Ho!' running song that was sung around the 1930s but has now gone from the memory of those in the club. The club consists of fairly aged, but many still powerful runners. At 48 years old I'm one of the youngest! We have two members in their 90s (one still comes out to walk part of the trails we run).

Although the club history is very well documented, the song isn't included. I'm trying to dig out any undocumented club history which may still reside in memory of the older members. Hopefully I may be able to dig out at least fragments of the song.

The club released a limited edition video some years ago which had a new song. I'll get the words and post them for you.

If you fancy a giggle, check out the club website:

The site hasn't been upadated since February, but it should give you a flavour of the club and it's history.
