Weightlifting in Britain runs on clubs. Not the big performance centres, mostly, but church halls and industrial units and the corner of a CrossFit box where somebody bolted a platform down and started teaching people to snatch on a Tuesday night.
We write about them. Below are the clubs we have covered so far. If yours is not here, tell us about it and we will look at writing it up properly, in your own words rather than a directory listing.
