A TRACK and field club in North Wales has made an urgent appeal for help to ensure its survival.

Georgina Seguin from the Menai Track and Field club is urgently appealing for support from the North Wales community to help save the club from folding.

She confirmed this week: “Menai track & field is a successful NW athletics club with over 170 juniors and 20 seniors, but unfortunately due to lack of volunteers the future of the club is uncertain.

"We need to fill key committee roles within the club including chair, treasurer, secretary, plus a number of other roles.

“Without these roles the club cannot run. If anyone is interested in becoming involved with the club, whether it be on an advisory basis, or as chair, please reach out to me. We are looking for any ideas and suggestions about how we can run going forwards and are open to any potential opportunities including partnerships with other clubs etc.”

First set up in 2000, and based in Bangor, Menai Track and Field, has now more than 200 members and is regarded as one of the top clubs in Wales.

The club boasts many athletes who have represented either regionally for North Wales or internationally for Welsh Schools, Welsh Athletics and GB at cross country, road, track and field, and the mountains.

Bernie Jones, secretary of the NW Cross-Country League, added: “Clearly our sport needs help to survive.

"Menai have a great club developing many good youngsters. Without people stepping in, this club will fold. Menai needs your help. If you can help in any way, please do.”
