The City of Bath Athletic Club was formed in 1974 based on Percy Boys Club in the centre of Bath. We outgrew the Boys Club and in 1992 moved to Beechen Cliff School. Recognising the need to be close to the athletics track and better facilities we moved to the Sports Village at Bath University on Tuesday 6th April 1999.

On 1st April 2007 the Club formed a partnership with TeamBath (Bath University) and changed our name to TeamBath A.C.

Team Bath A.C. is affiliated to the Avon Country Athletics Association, the Midlands Counties Athletic Association and Athletics UK. We cater for all aspects of athletics including track, field, cross country, fun running and road running and welcome new memebers regardless of age, ability or experience.

Newsletter

We have a highly informative weekly newsletter - The Bath Plug - which keeps members up to date with our activities. It can be picked up from the club on a Tuesday night, or you can download a copy of it by going to the Bath Plug page .

Pin results from the Avon league match at Yate on 10th August

TeamBath A.C. sent a team, depleted by holidays, to the third Avon League match of the season at Yate on Sunday and, despite the rain, came back with some good performances. Ruth Dean again did the double with victories in the U/17 womens 100m in 12.42 and 300m in 42.91 . Romaine Hyman was beaten by the thickness of a vest in the U/17 mens 100m finishing in 11.24 the same time as the winner but roared back to win the 200m comfortably in 22.47 just outside the League record. There was an unusual occurence in the U/13 girls 200m when Katie Geddes dead heated with another athlete and even the photo finish could not split them both recording a time of 28.46. At the other end of the scale, Dave Coales won the senior mens 3000m in 10.13.1 and Annie Ingram won the U/15 girls 1,500m in 5.07.9. In the field, Michael Gardner and Alex Geddes took maximum points in the U/15 boys shot with Michael throwing 6m89 and Alex 4m76. Tuesday Jeffries won the u/13 girls high jump with 1m35. B winners were Anna Alexander-Holmes (U/15 girls 100m in 13.59), Michael Gardner (U/13 long jump with 3m78), and Ryan White (U/17 mens 800m 0n 2.25.78).
