WELCOME TO THE RETFORD AC WEBSITE

The club was founded in 1983 by a small group of athletes mainly interested in Road Running and developing opportunities for Senior Athletes at club level. The junior section was formed later to deliver basic skills in Athletics with some competition opportunities at club level. The club can proudly boast many County Champions in most athletic disciplines with some juniors competing at Area and National level.
Winter Training at Elizabethan High School every Monday & Thursday from 6.30pm
 Training times remain the same 6:30pm till 7:30pm on Monday and Thursday both for the juniors and adults. Juniors now make the most of the indoor facilities, while the senior members of the club meet there before heading out on their runs around the Retford area. Senior members can also use the gym on a Thursday at 7:30pm with sessions held by a qualified member of the club for a very small fee. New members are always welcome so if you fancy running with like minded people in the darker months come down and have a go.

Oaklands Pavilion
It's all systems go for the Oaklands Refurbishment project!

We are delighted that WREN have agreed to support us financially to renovate the Oaklands pavilion after several years of vandalism and neglect.  The plans have been drawn up and work has now started with the removal and replacement of all the rotten timbers over the verandah and the renewal of all the fascias and soffits.  The next stage will be to build a low wall around the verandah and to fit security shutters.  We are planning to upgrade the current changing and shower facilities and to convert the old gent's toilet into a store room and there is lots of preparation work to be done before the professionals can make a start.  So over the next few weeks we will be inviting any willing volunteers to form working parties and to help share the load.  The first of these sessions will be on Saturday 21st January but don't worry if you can't make it this time.

If you are interested in helping at future sessions or you want to have a look at the plans, please ring Charmian on 07749 844212
