History of the Club

1979, in the beginning ….. Jackie Taylor, Mollie Mills, Colin Oberlin-Harris, guided by assistance from Dursley AC, Stroud & District AC was born. A competition took place to decide on Club colours, which was won by Andy Frapwell – who chose colours from the Stroud Coat of Arms.

Enormous effort was put into raising funds, including tables outside the Subscription Rooms selling secondhand books and bric-a-brac. Our aim was always to have a base of our own. Many attempts have been made to accomplish this, including Stratford Park, Stratford Court and more recently the proposed Ecopark in Stonehouse.
Income in 1981 – £1,302, over half of which came from fundraising.

With thanks to Mollie Mills
