Club is founded after the Olympic Games in London. We start with 1 men's, 1 women's and 1 youth team. Our teams stay in the regional leagues for the coming years.
The Men's team reaches the English Cup Final and secures promotion. However, for administrative reasons the club is instead demoted to third division.
The club is threatened to close, with its lowest member count ever.
Alex is elected President, she remains incumbent still.
COVID closures affect all of handball. Our club has to rebuild from the ground up.
We manage to rebuild 1 women's and 2 men's team. Member numbers are steadily increasing. The men's team reaches the Cup semi-finals.
The men's first team secures promotion to the Premier League for the first time ever in the club's history. We also add a third men's team and are re-starting our youth program.
