| Tamworth
Athletic Club was founded April 1974 and moved to it's present
site in the 1980's.We are one of the few clubs in the country
who own, manage and have total control over their facility, as Tamworth
Borough Council granted us a 99 year lease in 1983.
We
are a voluntary, non-profit making organisation with CASC
status (Community Amateur Sports Club). Coaches, Coaching
Assistants, Bar Staff, Officials , Team Managers , Volunteers
and Committee Members all give their time freely; without
this the Club would not exist.
Tamworth
AC draws members mainly from South Staffordshire, North Warwickshire
, Leicestershire and South Derbyshire. We are an independent
club owning our own track and clubhouse and were the first
club to obtain lottery funding. Our 8 lane , 400 metre , floodlit
all weather track with full field facilities , together with
our well appointed clubhouse, provides an ideal environment
for our 330 members , aged from 8 years upwards, to enjoy
their athletics.
Athletes
compete in a variety of cross country , sports hall , race
walking, road running and track & field competitions and
leagues, both indoor and outdoor, at a number of levels including
Midlands Counties, English Schools, National and International.
The club?s Young Athletes League team recently won promotion
to the Premier League and was rewarded by winning the Tamworth
Herald?s award for the ?Junior Team of the Year?
Since
1992 the club has invested over half a million pounds in providing
facilities including a clubhouse, all weather track and floodlights
.The continued success and growth of our club, combined with
good management has given a solid foundation for the next
stage of its development. The plans for a new indoor facility
to be built at the Marlborough Way Stadium are well advanced,
and will include an indoor running straight, jumping pits
and throwing nets and will provide the club and the local
community with a valuable indoor space for years to come.
