How It All Started..... 

Vale Royal Athletic Club!!!

Press Cuttings!!!!   1994 - 2004 (1st April)

On 1st April 1994 two athletics club in Cheshire, that of Mid Cheshire Athletic Club merged with Winsford Athletic Club to become Vale Royal Athletic Club.  Both clubs were competing in the same local leagues as each other, yet with Mid Cheshire AC with a strong junior section and Winsford AC with a strong senior section, it made perfect sense to merge together.

Now it`s ten years on and the club has had one success after another with athletes competing for England in fell running, high jump, cross country, track events as well as throws pentathlon with some superb performances at national, regional and county level.

As well as having athletes of a high standard, the club has a superb set of dedicated coaches in all disciplines apart from pole vault, who turn out week in, week out.  Harry Evans, Shaun McGrath and Neil Templeman have served the club for ten years in their respective areas, as well as other coaches who have served the club for six, seven and eight years.

Special mention must go to the club committee where Dave Stevens has been a very, very busy club secretary from the clubs very first newsletter back in April 1994.  Many, many thanks must go to Dave who does a sterling job as well as members of the committee.

Again there are athletes at the club who have competed for the last ten years such as Neil Hardman and Mike Weedall who have been extremely dedicated to their running.

Harry Evans (Club President) is very proud of the achievements of the club over the last ten years and is now looking forward to many more fun events and achievements with the club.
