It alarms me that there are about 15 people on this thread who understand the issues. Of these maybe 70% are concerned to some extent.
But, there are about a further 25 people who have visited the thread and then concluded something like "It appears to be about five people talking to each other about arcane matters".
For me, this is an important issue that will directly affect:
how many races are organised in the future
how much it costs to enter fell races
and the types of races that may be lost from the calendar
Since many on the forum like the types of races that may at risk, I'll try to sum it up in a sentence:
The FRA has issued stricter safety guidance following a coroner's report, which some race organisers believe sets such unattainable standards that it would place many race organisers in an undefendable position should an accident occur.
And now the headline: There is no Anniversary Waltz in 2014 because of this.
