Penarth Athletic Club Fire Update 26th January 2026

Following a very positive site visit with Vale of Glamorgan Council officials last week to clarify some structural issues and finalise the plan, we are happy to confirm that demolition and site clearance will begin imminently. The Council have appointed an internal Project Manager to oversee these works on behalf of their insurers.

This has now allowed us to turn our attention to the next phase and we are please to confirm that a Rebuild Steering Group has been created made up of suitable representatives from all our sections.

The terms of reference for this group are clear : To deliver a suitable facility for the benefit of members and the wider community now and for the generations to follow.

This exciting group will be overseen by our Co-Chair Persons David Carter and Gareth Hubback.

As we move forward further updates and public consultations will follow and we welcome any suggestions from our community.

If you have any queries or suggestions please feel free to contact us at [email protected]

📣 Penarth Athletic Club Update 📣

The Club wishes to provide an update regarding the recent incident affecting our facilities and the steps currently underway.

We are currently working through the standard insurance assessment process, which includes the preparation of a detailed forensic report. This report will be reviewed by insurers, and until that stage is completed, the Club will remain closed to members and the general public.

We are working closely with local council representatives, loss adjusters, and insurers to progress all required approvals. To prevent any delays, we are also securing the necessary sign-off for the electrical works that were undertaken to maintain power to the Long Room.

One of the key challenges we are managing is the ongoing smoke odour and contamination within the affected areas. The issue persists when the building is closed for any period of time, and it will be addressed as part of the overall process.

This remains a fluid situation and may change quickly. We will continue to keep members, partners, and the community informed as developments occur.

For further information or enquiries, please feel free to contact Club Secretary Dan Mears.

Big thank you to everyone who has donated so far we will be in touch but if you still wish to do so link is below:
