How Amber Valley and Erewash AC membership grew 20% last year

We spoke with members of Amber Valley and Erewash AC recently and asked them what they’ve done to help boost their membership.

The club was formed in 1999 by parents who wanted to get their children involved with athletics. Amber Valley and Erewash AC grew to be a club with healthy numbers until - like for many clubs - COVID left its mark.

To encourage under-8s, the club developed a short taster course that ran once a term.
