Modern Pentathlon membership breaks 4,000posted by Peter Hart on14-12-2006
Membership of the MPAGB has reached an all-time high with over 4,000 subscribing members. The MPAGB today announced final membership figures for the 2006 season which reflect the rapid growth in interest and participation in Modern Pentathlon since 2004 and the continued growth of the sport throughout Great Britain.
Girls'/women's participation continues to experience significant growth, with 2166 athletes registered in 2006.
The South East Region leads the nation with more than 800 members, ahead of the Southern Region and South West, each with more than 500 participants.
Anthony Temple QC, the MPAGBs Chairman, said: 'This continuing growth reflects the enthusiasm and commitment of our staff and members. We changed the basis of our individual and school membership in 2005, and have been pleased to see the surge in participation since then. We have doubled our membership in the last 18 months, but as far as I am concerned this is just the beginning: we are looking forward to further increases next year.'
