Here are the club records for each of the various age categories (which were instigated in c. 2015). The entries in brackets refer to the previous record in any given category, as far as we have been able to track down the information. Again, let Graham Bridges know if you have any updates or are aware of any missing information.

Update (December 2024): the committee decided that any age category records which were also faster than any records in younger categories should also stand in those younger categories. After all, if you’re an LV45, you’re also eligible to break records in the LV35 category, for example.
