WELSH Athletics has seen its membership figures pass 8,000 for the first time.
At the end of October, membership stands at 8,061 compared to 7,075 last year, seeing an increase of 14 per cent.
Welsh Athletics have strengthened its links with the Welsh Schools Athletic Association, appointing a Welsh Schools Athletic Support Officer to support the competition programme and related activities.
As part of Welsh Athletics commitment to increasing its club membership, they have developed a Run, Jump, Throw initiative. This is a leadership programme and award (Leading Athletics) which support the development of young leaders who are then transitioning into coaching.
They have also put in place a greater support for volunteers and encouraged clubs to utilise their volunteer strategy and support documents.
