| The parents approached Tom and he agreed to put
the wheels in motion for starting up a Westminster
Lodge based athletics club, geared primarily to
children between the ages of eight and eighteen.
A parents committee was then formed, and it set
about liaising with the council for sole use of
the track for session times and also CD Bramall
(formerly Godfrey Davis)
who have generously sponsored the club since its
creation. After much publicity and trumpet
blowing, the club was finally launched in February
1990. Since that time we have had hundreds of
local children through our ranks and have had many
County Champions, English Schools Champions,
National and International representatives and
athletes who have been ranked nationally at all
levels. Needless to say, we are very proud of
these athletes. We have also had many parents who
have gone on to take coaching qualifications and
hold key positions in UK Athletics. Their penchant
for exams is breathtaking!
