It’s funny how a chance comment can lead to something rather wonderful. From small acorns and all that.
When the new S4C sport programme ‘Clwb’ was being planned over the summer we had the idea of featuring a different club every week.
We thought it would be a great chance to visit different parts of Wales and show what goes on in the smaller clubs around the country.
The variety has simply blown us away.
The films are called ‘Our Club’ and we’ve gone from Weighlifting in Holyhead to Fencing in Cardiff.
From the tranquility of the bowling green to the full on and frantic BMX racing track.
There’s been surfing and curling and the inspirational wheelchair rugby.
We’ve even ventured to the wonderful world of Dodgeball.
And we get the feeling that we’re only just scratching the surface.
The ‘traditional sports’ always tend to dominate.
And ‘Clwb’ is packed with live sport – from Pro 12 rugby to Welsh Premier football.
There’s also highlights of the Welsh superstars in exile.
From the rugby boys in France playing in the Top 14 to La Liga in Spain – where Gareth Bale is having a blast with The Galacticos.
Wales is also the perfect stage for many sporting events.
The landscape has been just as dramatic as some of the triathlon races that we’ve been following.
Add rallying, cycling and mountain biking to the mix and it’s been a great start to the series.
But there’s so much more out there.
The number of clubs that we are coming across is staggering. Each one hugely important in their community.
And we’re always looking for more.
If you’d like us to feature your club then please get in touch.
Don’t be shy – you can follow us on Twitter @Clwbs4c – we’re also ‘Clwb’ on Facebook.
Or email Clwb@rondomedia.co.uk
