    FRA membership

    As a member I have being paying the subs each year in the knowledge that by doing so I would have some perks that non-members don't.

    It now seems to me that there are no longer any perks as non-members can see the calendar on line and the magazine plus enter races at no additional cost.

    Am I missing something?

    I know without the fra there wouldn't be races but why should members pay when non-members don't

    Aye. Mag alone is worth £12. Then there is the hard copy of the calendar.
    Then the discounts with the FRA membership card.
    Gi over man.

    I'm not a member anymore (a cock up on the renewal front a couple of years ago) - as well as removing my 'perks' maybe I should be shamefully banned from the forum too? I feel like such a blood sucking paracite

    But you can get the all of the magazines on the web now - which is really how it should be if FRA are going to be environmentally friendly and i just read mine and then recycle anyway

    I have also never got a discount as I search the net for best deals on shoes

    So there no longer seems to be a reason to join?

    I think the race calendar and magazines should be restricted to members only

    I'd rather pay the FRA than EA.

    There is also that warm feeling you get knowing that you're supporting something worthwhile and that when you turn up to a race you're properly part of something.

    As Mastercard would say, priceless.
