Sorry XRunner, I fail to see how giving over the organisation of the english team to a professional body for international events removes the responsibilty for fell running in general. Thats not so much the tail wagging the dog as the flea tossing the elephant.
Is the FRA there to manage ?20 person? team england or represent the 6,000 plus other runners?
