About Us

The pole vault club is separate from the Box Hill Athletics Club and is made up of vaulters from Box Hill and other athletic clubs who train at Box Hill (Hagenauer's Reserve, Barwon St., Box Hill). Vaulters from other clubs pay additional fees for the use of the ground.

To finance our activities:

  • All vaulters pay a fee.
  • This fee is for use of the club's poles and is separate from the fees paid to the Box Hill Athletics Club for the use of the ground.
  • Those members with the means have previously purchased poles and donated them to the Club.
  • We have previously raised money through such activities as selling chocolates and wine.
  • The Box Hill and Ivanhoe athletic clubs as well as individuals such as Peter Rule, Peter Blanchonette, Mike Smith, Chris Bradshaw, the George family and Warren Hill has provided financial assistance.
  • We have received assistance from organisations such as the Victorian Institute of Sport (VIS), the Australian Institute of Sport, Altius Sporting Imports, Camberwell Grammar School , UCS Spirit, Omniserve, Fila and Gill Track and Field.
  • We have received some donations from other sources.
