Present Day
Cardiff Athletic Club has five sports sections; the rugby section (Cardiff RFC, now run by Cardiff RFC Ltd with Cardiff Athletic Club as its major shareholder), the cricket section (Cardiff Cricket Club), the (field) hockey section (Cardiff & UWIC Hockey Club (men) and Cardiff Athletic Ladies Hockey Club), the bowls section (Cardiff Athletic Bowls Club) and the tennis section (Lisvane (CAC) Tennis Club). Each section is represented on the Management Committee of the Club. The Athletic Club is one of the few multi-sport clubs in the United Kingdom. A former president of Cardiff Athletic Club was the ex-Welsh International rugby player Bleddyn Williams.
It was announced on 19 September 2007, that the Cardiff Blues team were to move from Cardiff Arms Park for the 2009-2010 season, to a new stadium at Leckwith to become tenants of Cardiff City FC. The Cardiff Athletic Club management committee at the time had voted to support this. A decision by Cardiff Athletic Club on the future of Cardiff Arms Park could be made later.

Famous quotes containing the words present and/or day:
“To think the world therefore a general Bedlam, or place of madmen, and oneself a physician, is the most necessary point of present wisdom: an important imagination, and the way to happiness.”
—Thomas Traherne (1636–1674)
““If Washington were President now, he would have to learn our ways or lose his next election. Only fools and theorists imagine that our society can be handled with gloves or long poles. One must make one’s self a part of it. If virtue won’t answer our purpose, we must use vice, or our opponents will put us out of office, and this was as true in Washington’s day as it is now, and always will be.””
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
