Yes, funny that. Why didn't they?
Hi Trundler,
I certainly agree with you there, they should have consulted with both of us, and NIMRA as well.
Are you sure? - because, according to my reckoning, at least two of the committee members are also members of the SHR, and at least two are members of WFRA - and pretty big cheeses in the WFRA at that!! Considering that, it's hard to believe that they didn't discuss this topic?
I suppose they might have been worried about making the same mistakes …
YT,
Re WFRA consultation you seem to have overlooked the following posts from Ross Powell (WFRA Chairman & FRA Committee member):
What mistakes? Welsh Harrier seems quite happy with the situation and 80% of race organisers in Wales choose to register/insure their races with WFRA rather than Welsh Athletics/UKA! Given the choice Welsh organisers have shown what they think of the way UKA treated them a couple of years ago!
YT, there is no doubt the full committee would have been well aware of how the celtic nations had resolved their issues. The sub committee either:
1. Forgot to ask
2. Decided that the celtic solution was not relevant
3. Were directed not to ask
Are there any other possibilities?
The vast majority of fell runners in Wales seem to be very happily pursuing their sport now, with increased numbers seen in races in South Wales. Could I recommend that EFRA makes the same mistake?!

i thought we had dispensed with the sniping
what do you mean any other possibilities
explain ??????
Sorry Daz, that was not meant to be read as a sniping comment. I was genuinely offering the opportunity to any posters from the subcommittee to correct me if I had overlooked the actual reason why the celtic solutions were not considered. I thought it over and couldn't come up with any myself but I freely admit that no-one has all the answers in any given situation.
The beauty of a forum is that by encouraging others to respond, one's own potentially blinkered view of something can be enlightened. I learn lots by listening to honestly offered views such as yours.
yes , okay wheeze i appreciate your answer there mate, im a very diplomatic person , no need to say sorry , phew all this commitee, ballot, sub commitee, buisness has i think become very complicated to the point where i think the commitee could possibly start tiring of people asking why didnt they do this and why didnt they do that etc etc.
i just think they must be getting fed up of some of the comments that have flown about on here
timewise i think they have done very well, there was loads of pressure from every corner of the fellrunning globe to dissafiliate instantly, i personally feel they have handled it very well. but then again im one of lifes to short people.
sorry wheeze i meant to ask you this question about size
can you tell me how many members the welsh and scottish have
just something im thinking of
also with regards to there own insurance , how much ????????
