Our Club Constitution sets out how Bradford Airedale Athletics Club is run, including our aims, values, and the responsibilities of our committee and members. It helps ensure the club is managed fairly, transparently, and in the best interests of everyone involved.

The Constitution is reviewed each year at our Annual General Meeting (AGM), where members have the opportunity to discuss and agree on any updates to keep it current and reflective of how our club continues to grow.

Our Club Committee is made up of dedicated volunteers who work hard to keep Bradford Airedale Athletics Club running smoothly. They help make decisions, organise events, support our coaches and athletes, and make sure the club continues to grow in a positive and inclusive way.

The committee is elected each year at our Annual General Meeting (AGM), giving members the chance to get involved and have their say in how the club is run.

Together, we’re committed to keeping the club welcoming, well-organised, and focused on providing great opportunities for athletes of all ages and abilities.

We aim to resolve issues informally whenever possible, but when a formal approach is needed, we follow clear procedures based on respect, integrity, and transparency.

By following this policy, we maintain a positive, safe, and inclusive environment where everyone can enjoy being part of the club.
