Since the inauguration of the Club we had been looking to fill the post of an Honorary President but wanted a special person who would represent all that is good about Junior Athletics and following enquiries and discussions we had in early 2007 we were able to announce in March 2007 that Jason Gardener M.B.E had agreed to be our HONORARY PRESIDENT . It is worth waiting for the best ! Well now it's official and Mendip AC are pleased and very proud that Jason Gardener MBE has agreed to be our Honorary Club President. He is a European, Commonwealth and Olympic medal winner and is a natural role model for any young athlete . His record and achievements are too numerous to mention here, but he is still the best having recently won his 4th successive gold in the European 60m Indoor championships. He started his athletic career in much the same way as many of our own junior athletes and is still with his original Club, Wessex and Bath AC. We welcome him to Mendip AC and hope it will not be too long before we see him at Millfield.You can find more about Jason on the following sites: |
