Call this the engine room of Athletics. The sport needs to be governed and here are links to the folk who put in the hard work.

ABAC                                          ABAC are a lobby group acting on behalf of British athletic clubs negotiating for them with Governing bodies and Government organisations. They seek an efficient low cost structure for the sport with financial support flowing down to the grassroots. They hope all clubs will join them so that they have maximum impact with the governing bodies and others.
