Club committee

The AAC Committee is responsible for organising everything that the club does.

What we do

The committee is supported by numerous other volunteers, its members organise activities including:

  • the club championship

  • all the coaching

  • management of the very active junior side of the club

  • marshals and officials for events

  • participation in the various track and field and league matches

  • all the social events

  • website maintenance

  • weekly email updates

  • the AGM

  • the awards evening

  • liaison with the local council and Tilsley Park management

  • club kit.

Without people like you, there can be no committee.

Who can be on the committee?

There are around 10 - 12 club members on the committee. However, we are always looking for new members. So anyone who wants to help run the club is welcome to join us.

We meet once a month after a Tuesday night run, but there is no obligation to attend every meeting.

The more people who can help, the easier the task of being a committee member becomes. The committee helps make the club the success that it is.

New committee members are welcome at any time of the year. However, the focus is always at or before the AGM in January, anticipating the upcoming year's events
