Hi Toby. Did you get out to any runs yet? As to your question, I think the FRA membership is fantastic value for the mag alone. Take that out for sure. As for races and things happening locally to you, the WFRA website gives you free access to most of what you need to know. Obviously, if you can stretch to another £10, we'd love to have you as a member as well and for that you get a very nicely produced calendar of Welsh races (not all of which appear in the FRA calendar) plus a newsletter. Alternatively, if you are keen on national selection you can join the WMRA which is part of Welsh Athletics/UKA. The reason why there is a seperate WFRA is an old and long story to do with devolution so lets not go into it. Suffice to say we seem to have a stable situation now with most fell races in Wales organised through the WFRA which has a rep on the FRA committee.
