Beverley
Athletic Club has a very short history dating back only to
February 1993. The club came about when newcomer to the area and
keen runner, Peter Brown, Lockington, suggested to Mr. John
Taylor, Manager, Beverley Leisure Centre, that in view of the
number of people running around Beverley on their own there may
be enough interest to form a running group at the relatively new
leisure centre.
Mr.
Taylor paid for an advertisement to appear in the Beverley
Advertiser inviting interested parties to attend a meeting at
the leisure centre. As a result of about 15 people attending the
meeting and expressing an interest it was decided to trial group
runs on a Wednesday evening. Despite attendance figures of less
than half a dozen in the early weeks, numbers slowly picked up
and a decision was then taken to become an affiliated athletic
club. Since then annual membership figures have risen each year
topping 100 for the first time on 12th January 2000.
Currently membership stands at approx 160 including a thriving
juniors section.
