Double Commonwealth Games gold medallist Melanie Woods and her coach Rodger Harkins will be our headline guests at the National Club Conference.

Club representatives will gather in Glasgow on Saturday 14 November for learning and sharing good practice – with our 4J Awards Dinner taking place later the same day at the venue.

The theme of the Conference this year will be ‘Succession Planning‘.

Melanie won two T54 wheelchair race golds at Glasgow 2026 and will be joined at the National Club Conference by her coach, Rodger Harkins.

Melanie and Rodger will be interviewed by our Chair, David Ovens, towards the close of the Conference.

Sign-ups are now filling up to join us once again the Hilton Hotel in Glasgow during the day with the 4J Annual Awards to follow at the same venue.

Following the energy, success and lasting impact of the Commonwealth Games, we are excited to bring together club leaders, volunteers, coaches, officials and members from across the country.
