We changed the club name to the Hitchin and Letchworth Weightlifting Club to reflect our history, location and membership.

Members must pay a membership fee to the Letchworth Corner Sports Club as members of the Weightlifting Section. In addition the weightlifting club members pay a nominal annual club membership and then a fee on each visit to the gym.

The Weightlifting Section is represented on the Management Committee by the Chairperson and Secretary.

The Hitchin and Letchworth Weightlifting Club is an affiliated member of the British Weightlifting Association (BWLA) and we hold the Divisional (East Midlands) Championships at the gym.
