Saturday 9th July 2011

Dear Competitor,

it is with much regret that I have to inform you that I have decided to cancel this year's Wasdale Fell Race. Due to unforeseen family commitments I find myself with too little time to do the necessary work & have been unable to obtain a substitute organiser. However, I anticipate 2012's race will go ahead as normal.
I will arrange to refund entry fees already banked asap, but please be patient as this will be delayed until into late July before we can begin to sign cheques etc. Cheques received from today will not be cashed.
Please check the CFRA website for any other details which I will keep updated.

Many apologies again for your obvious disappointment, especially to those who have made it an annual event.

Yours sincerely

Richard J Eastman

Well it looks like we won't be doing this after all! Shame as I was looking forward to it. There's always next year I suppose!

Disaster!
Surely its not too late ??!!
I don't live anywhere near but would happily take on admin, communicating with whoever needs communicated with, if anyone in the area can take on the on the ground stuff.
I want to run Wasdale !!!

Calling all fell runners....

Right, we can't allow this. I have rung Richard offering my services as organiser, it's over a month until race day and I don't have any family commitments or job stress to get in the way. Unfortunately for me he's abroad, and 6 hours behind so 4am isn't really the best time for a phonecall...oops. Anyway, don't cancel your holidays just yet.

Anyway, I'm positive there's plenty of time before the race to sort this out

Don't panic

No! It's my favourite race...

I've emailed Richard. Would be happy to help in any way, so long as I can still race! And, given that it sounds as if the race is cancelled for other means, not through lack of marshalls etc., it doesn't sound like I'd be needed on Gable summit checkpoint!
