The Northern Club in Sefton, established in 1859, has now become the first multisports club to achieve Clubmark in all four sporting activities, Squash, Cricket, Hockey & Bowls. In 2006 there were approximately 850 members. Following local and national media exposure of the awards and achievements, together with various club initiatives, that figure has risen to approximately 1040. All four Clubmark achievements were concluded between 2006 and 2007 but between 2007 and 2008 the Governments Community Club Development Programme recognised the achievements and progress made by the Northern through the individual sections and by their collective progress. It has identified the club as a role model club and centre of excellence. As such, The Northern Club have been used as an example of good practice on their promotional DVD. All this media and development exposure has raised the profile of the club in the local community. This has assisted with the growth of the membership and created a firm foundation for the future of the club. Sefton Sports Council made a special award to The Northern Club at their Annual Sports Awards 2007 for outstanding service and achievement in sport in the community.
