    A stupid question

    When I enter a race I always put unattached as I'm not a member of a club. I am however a memger of FRA and I have seen on the results that some people put FRA down as their club.

    So should I write "unattached", "FRA" or maybe even "just plain stupid"

    I've been considering it but surely it is only actually a T shirt and little else?

    being a Pony is more a state of mind than anything else

    in fact, in my last fell race, I put down "Fell Ponies" and got listed in the results as "Unattached" anyway, so make of that what you will...

    Careful!

    I'm unattached and generally enter races as such.

    A perk of being a FRA member is that it counts as a UKA-affiliated club in races (mostly road races, admittedly) where entry fees are discounted for afiliated club members so, skinflint that I am, I use FRA in these races.

    It's a vest and a whole lot more, considered joining a proper club but my shift pattern meant i'd rarely train with one, however i have started running with the Calder Valley juniors cos my lad's joined.

    Think it's fine to put down FRA in the entries, although I don't think the FRA are affiliated for the roads, so thats about as legal as me putting Pony down on road races. Nobody seems to object though.

    You can be a Pony with out the vest, or indeed make your own. Helps for recognition of fellow nags in races, and "membership" is otherwise what you make of it; nothing or an awful lot. The vest helps as a conversation piece, normally along the lines of "what the f__s that". God knows what they make of Fleeter's little pink number
