Club Captains  Ladies Joanne Callin & Men Rob Parslow

In our short existence as a club we have had two Commonwealth Games athletes - Dana Myhill (100 metres) and Martin Aram (High Jump - Manchester 2002) - and Cheryl Done in the Great Britain Bobsleigh Team - Winter Olympics 2002.

Our Inter-Island Games representatives are too numerous to mention, as are our Officials at these events.

It was not unusual to see well over 100 children taking part in the new recreation in the West of the Island and this is still the case during our outdoor Summers sessions on the Q.E.II Sports Fields. We continue to attract growing numbers of children each week at our indoor sessions, despite the increased amount of other sports now available in the West of the Island.

The Club has steadily grown and entered teams in the Northern Men's, Northern Ladies and Young Athletes Leagues in England. This, combined with our close association with Sale Harriers three years before the Club was formed, ensured that our members had regular competition off-Island.

We have been most fortunate over the years to receive sponsorship from all areas of the CommunityFrom the outset our aim has always been to encourage children to enjoy and participate in the sport no matter what their ability.
