Choices choices which way to go

[Harry H Howgill]

I trust the committee. I'm going with them.

Regardless of which way you vote, please make sure that you do vote. This is an important issue.

Good point.

The summary report reads a bit like those bits of paper that were coming through our letter boxes the week before last - read the full report carefully and read between the lines!

It talks about BOFRA, TRA, ARC, BOF, etc but there's no mention of SHR (Scottish Hill Runners) or WFRA ie the Welsh Fell Runners Association which is independent of UKA (the governing body for athletics in the UK) and independent of Welsh Athletics (the governing body for athletics in Wales?!).

WFRA now organises over 80% of fell races in Wales with independently organised insurance. WFRA has a thriving membership with its own championship programme and it's been working very well for nearly three years. Welsh Athletics continues to send junior and senior teams to Knockdu etc and to quote the sub-committe report ' International considerations should not carry any weight in the arguments aboit disaffiliation.'

I made a decission months ago that I would go with whatever the sub committee decided as they would be better informed. My initial reaction last year, when all this kicked off, was to to disaffiliate but I trust the sub committees decission.

Why don't you make your own decision rather than "go" with what the committee sugests you should do?
The conclusion of the committee is not necessarily the correct one for the sport.

[Richard Head]

I have had a few ballot papers over the years but never had one with my name already printed on it. I will be voting to disaffiliate
