The Bob Lewis Memorial Meeting has announced Places Leisure as venue sponsor for the 2026 edition, with the Weir Archer Athletics and Fitness Centre in Kingston upon Thames confirmed as the official venue partner for the event on 30 August.
Places Leisure, part of Places for People, operates the Weir Archer Athletics and Fitness Centre on Kingston Road, KT1 3PB — the facility that serves as Momentum Sports' primary training ground and home track for Momentum Track Club. The relationship between the club and the centre is an established one: MTC trains there daily, and the Weir Archer has hosted the Surrey Schools Track and Field Championships alongside a range of club and open competitions. Having Places Leisure formally on board as venue sponsor for the Bob Lewis Memorial Meeting reflects that ongoing partnership.
The centre offers athletics facilities, a gym and fitness training for all abilities, supporting performance and wellbeing through coaching, inclusive programmes and community sport opportunities. The facility's combination of competitive athletics infrastructure and broader community provision makes it well-suited to an event like the Bob Lewis Memorial Meeting, which draws competitors from U14 through to Masters age groups across a full programme of track and field.
The Bob Lewis Memorial Meeting is now in its fourth year and takes place on 30 August 2026, as part of the European Masters League calendar. Confirmed prizes include the lemon drizzle cake for the best Masters 400m performance based on age grading — honouring Bob Lewis, a European Masters Games Champion over 400m — and TF1 Athletic T-shirts for the best male and female performer in each age group from U14 to U20. Further announcements are expected before the event.
The meeting is brought to you by Momentum Sports, with TF1 Athletic as title sponsor and Places Leisure: Weir Archer Athletics and Fitness Centre as venue sponsor. Entries are open now on OpenTrack via the Bob Lewis Memorial listing.
