New safety rules

[alwaysinjured]

[QUOTE=Wheeze;562355]

SHRA and WFRA have rightly chosen to recognise the problems in that linkage and plough their own furrow.

Al, WFRA reformed because of the imposition of WA into our sport after the dissolution of BAF. Our 'affiliation' to FRA was effectively removed without our say. We reformed the organisation in order to retain our links to FRA not some new quango attached to the Athletics body politic.

But then FRA affiliated to UKA anyway! And then I hear what people are saying about the UKA attitude at this sad event. I hear the sounds of roosting birds!

I gather from sources there is now a bit of a punchup going on over rules and affiliations in WFRA.

Incidently the WFRA is willing to provide insurance cover for races organised by their members anywhere in the UK provided their Safety Requirements (current 2014 version can be viewed on http://www.wfra.me.uk/index.htm ) are followed. These are very similar to the current FRA draft version but with some changes.

So I gather SHRA can insure races anywhere in the UK - who I also gather have decided to hold off major rule changes for the present
