The idea is indeed to encourage members of 'fellrunning only' clubs such as ourselves to have a go at xc and road and the like without being penalised (it also looks good for EA to have as many registered athletes on their books as possible i guess)......the tricky question is whether it would extend to team events.......the free EA membership is as individuals only which as I understand wouldnt therefore permit ponies to be counted as a team in a UKA event......that being said, some organisers are less fussy than Alias / Soppy Sack Norman Bates and may let you away with it.......on the other hand, the FRA relays being given their correct title- THE UKA fell and hill relay championships is clearly a different matter and we probably therefore would not be permitted to enter it as a club team as we are not registered with EA / UKA as a club team if you follow......that being said- a pile of EA registered individuals who compete for the same club (though not UKA registered) raises an interesting debate and I naturally would delighted to enquire on our behalf if the situation arises......I'm kleeping someone in a job in these recession hit times.....hope that is all suitably confusing as the rules demand
