The summary report reads a bit like those bits of paper that were coming through our letter boxes the week before last - read the full report carefully and read between the lines!
It talks about BOFRA, TRA, ARC, BOF, etc but there's no mention of SHR (Scottish Hill Runners) or WFRA ie the Welsh Fell Runners Association which is independent of UKA (the governing body for athletics in the UK) and independent of Welsh Athletics (the governing body for athletics in Wales?!).
WFRA now organises over 80% of fell races in Wales with independently organised insurance. WFRA has a thriving membership with its own championship programme and it's been working very well for nearly three years. Welsh Athletics continues to send junior and senior teams to Knockdu etc and to quote the sub-committe report ' International considerations should not carry any weight in the arguments aboit disaffiliation.'
