Poole AC have become the first club in Dorset to be awarded the prestigious Clubmark acceditation from Sport England.
The award recognises Poole AC as a quality club and is the result of hard work 'behind the scenes' of several members of the club and all its coaches, committee members and parent volunteers.
To achieve this award the Club needed to prove and be audited on its quality of delivery of athletics and running to its members and the wider community, and represents the committment many have towards the club in their desire to see the club and its members succeed at all levels.
The awarding of Clubmark signals the beginning of a new era for the Club, with many exciting ventures to be announced shortly that will propel the Club even further forward.
