Stroud & District Athletic Club: The 50 Year Archive Project 

Unlocking the Vaults

Welcome to the living digital archive of the Stroud & District Athletic Club (SADAC). As we sprint toward our monumental 50th anniversary milestone, we are launching a club-wide history project to preserve the community spirit, creative engineering, and unforgettable athletic moments that built our foundation.

This site serves as a dynamic, growing gateway to our history. We are actively digitizing vintage secretary notebooks, restoring classic race photographs, and sitting down with foundational club legends to capture their oral testimonies before these memories fade away.

New eras, data censuses, and stories will be cataloged and added to this site as new material is provided, and as time permits for our team of club volunteers.

Get Involved!

This is a community-driven effort, and we can’t do it alone. If you have old club paperwork, photos, or race results to share, please send them our way.

Furthermore, if you would like to help manage and update the archive materials, or assist with formatting and uploading content to this website, please get in touch—we would love to have you on the team!
