About Retford AC
Retford Athletic Club was formed in 1983 and serves Retford, Nottinghamshire, England. Senior members take part in road, fell and cross-country running, while the junior section includes track and field and indoor sportshall athletics. The club's history also credits long-serving member Chris Ryan with preserving its early results and records in The Chronogram.
Club nights are advertised on Monday and Thursday evenings at Oaklands Playing Field on Caledonian Road. Qualified coaches work with the training groups, and the club provides facilities for a range of junior disciplines, though its introduction specifically excludes hammer and pole vault. Different sections have their own joining arrangements rather than a single undifferentiated session.
Senior newcomers can contact the membership team to arrange taster sessions. Junior enquiries are directed to the club secretary, who can advise on current age-group spaces. The website also invites volunteers to help run the club or train as coaches. Some homepage notices and recruitment statements are older, so confirm availability and times before attending.
