I must say the forum for me was a godsend... the advice I received on here when starting off, and the sheer wealth of info available on races, challenges, training, BGR, still help me to this day. Would be a terrible shame to see it disappear.

However I can understand that the current state of the forum doesn't really reflect well on the FRA nor it's members, given that it is linked to their home page. And now the same old bollocks flaring up on this thread which started off so well...
