    This has hit Wales.... note on the Eryri website..

    Eryri RO's used to have to get insurance via WA/UKA yet now they can go with whatever they chose.. presumably meaning WFRA insurance..

    "The club committee have agreed that any Race Organiser who is organising a fellrace on behalf of the club may obtain a race permit/insurance from whichever organisation they deem fit.
    This removes the obligation decided several years ago that they must obtain it from Welsh Athletics/UK Athletics.
    This decision recognises the fact that the burden of responsibility for race organisation and safety lies primarily with the Organiser, and therefore responsibility for meeting the permit issuers’ rules and regulations also lies with them.
    The committee recommends that in order to reduce the risk of falling foul of litigation/disciplinary action Organisers should examine closely the rules and regulations pertaining to the permit they have received and ensure that their own race organisation meets them."

    Worrying that they assume primary responsibility for safety is with the RO and not the runner.. maybe that's why its the land of the shortened race... :-)

    True, but apart from that they have the right idea.

    I stubbornly and noisily reject that label.

    Doh!

As long as the forum is a mouthpiece for the committee bullies, I am having nothing to do with it.
    Just as relevant now, as it was then.

    Don't roll with a pig in poo. You get covered in poo and the pig likes it.
