The 20 meter club was founded on April 28, 1983, at Eerikkilä Sports Academy with six men being selected as members.
In its fall meeting, the club awards the "Kultapoju" or Golden Boy to a promising shot putter.
The last recipient to date was Niko Hauhia, who also received a EUR 500 stipend for training.
The club also awards training grants in order to promote and help athletes develop.
Of these, Seppo Simola, Jari Kuoppa, and Bo Grahn are deceased.
