At the EA awards night held at Denbies Winery on Sunday (October 5th) Liss Runners were runner up Club of the Year for the South East Region. The evening saw clubs represented across Kent, Sussex, Surrey, Hampshire, Berkshire and Oxfordshire come together.  The wider Hampshire athletics family was well represented with fellow league clubs from Fareham and Sherfield also winning awards.  Plus an award for Malcolm Price of Lordshill Road Runners who is a driving force behind the Hampshire Road Race League.

The Club made the shortlist chosen by a national panel of officials within English Athletics.  The award celebrates outstanding EA affiliated clubs, with a focus on those clubs that have strived to improve over the last 12 months. For example, showcasing strong club governance, demonstrating what they are doing to improve the member experience and ensuring the club is inclusive in its approach.

As it relates to the member experience, the Club will be launching its first member survey later in October.  This will help us better uderstand the needs of our members, running motivations and goals, what works well and what can be improved.

The EA award is a fantastic achievement and endorsement for what has been a succesful year and one of growth for the Club.
