I'm afraid you and the Ponies are scuppered for the Northern and National XC Pudgy.
Unless you go and join an UKA affiliated club - or the Ponies affiliate

In fact I think the clubs have to make the entries on behalf of their members.

You can do the Lancs Champs though as an unattached athlete (and this applies to other County Champs) as long as you are Lancs qualified through birth or residence.

Ah, thought I remembered something. Think the Lancs will do just fine, anywhere I've got other fat aged buggers for company

That's why you joined the Ponies is it?

With a website of that name, how could it possibly be for anything else!!??
I had to have a look, just to be sure that it wasn't a Danbert spoof link

Yeah I find the situation unfortunate. you also CANNOT affiliate to UKA / England Athletics as an individual.....which is a terrible shame and rather diappointing. All in all it makes the BOWLAND FELL RUNNERS membership (fully affiliated) at £5 a year a real bargain......

Gearing up for the new season

Really looking forward to it.

Yeah....i'm looking forward to the XC season too, North Eastern "Harrier" League, great fun although a few of them always clash with local fell races which is shame

We retire to our local pub for free food and too many beers after every race, which is why i pay my membership fee
